 kaithor84, After looking into this for you, the issue you are running into is Ubuntu is not a supported OS for Enterprise hardware like the R710. Did the SAS 5/E come installed in the server? The reason I ask is because that server supports the SAS 6. In order to manage the MD3000 you will also need a Windows box to install MDSM (modular Disk Storage Manager). If you do not have a windows box you can try WINE.  [URL]  It is like a Windows emulator. This is not a supported workaround but it is something to look into if you have no way of managing from a windows system. I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.
I installed a Dell certified version of Ubuntu 11.07 on a Dell PowerEdge R710. After the OS installation I installed Dell OpenManage 6.4 and was able to successfully access it, viewing my chassis and cards. The issue I'm having is that I am not able to perform any tasks on my SAS 5/E cards. Attached to these cards is an MD3000 along with two MD1000 daisy chained. In addition to not being able to perform any tasks when I attempt to use the omconfig command to rescan or configure pdisks/controllers all I receive are "this action is not supported" errors. The firmware version I am running on the SAS 5/E cards is 00.10.51.00.06.12.05.00 and driver version 3.04.18. Should I need to updates firmware/drivers versions and if so is there an Ubuntu/Debian download for these?
