Dell has made a largish amount of software available via a yum
repository for several flavors of linux. You may want to check out
http://linux.dell.com/yum/software/rhel4/RPMS/ to see if what you need
is there to do this on linux. I've not played with the storage
manager, and I tend to avoid dell so I can't help out much more than
that.
