I would suggest using a server distro such as CentOS rather than fedora 8 (which is outdated anyway). The latest version of CentOS is 5.4. When you are referring to the raid status, do you mean the dell IPMI? I think there is an open IPMI, but I'm sure that you can get one on dell website.

i cant take image from the hard disk on the DVD

Can you rephrase this? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

thanks for your suggesting but on the mean time i cant change the OS because i install our application on these server and now live network

i mean by raid status = the RAID Utility that is mean i have to hard disk on each server and the RAID controller configured but if one of the Hard Disk crashed how i can now i need the this tools to give me the full status


i need to take copy (Image) from the hard disk on the DVD to save my self if some times the employee restore it


i hope now its clear for you

dd command is used for creating images of a disk, then you can burn this image to a DVD.

If the raid becomes broken, shouldn't you use the raid tool for the PERC controller during the boot process? Why would you need software to do it?
