Adaptec; I think that is what the Dell PERC controllers use (just 
rebranded?).  There' s a CLI utility that was ported from the Linux 
world...aacli I think is what it is called (or something similar to 
it).  Although I haven't had to try the actual rebuild from the CLI 
(THANK $DEITY, knock on wood...), the command line program does talk to 
the controller for information.

Try digging around for what the PERC controllers use for their 
chipset...
