Hello and apologies for being off-topic, but this is my last option!
I've been looking for a PERC simulator to help with training, but for the life of me, I cannot find it anywhere on the internet! I even called Dell to see if they can offer me a download link to no avail. I know there is one somewhere as I've seen screenshots of it *[0]*!
If anyone has it and is willing to help, please contact me off list!
Cheers, ak.
[0] - https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB73197&actp=L... You can see that this is a simulator since the title of the main window has the following: C:\Program Files\McAfee*PERC5 **sim*\CtrlHostWin.exe - emphasis on "*PERC5 sim*"

never heard of any such thing.
buy a cheap server with a real PERC, like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-PowerEdge-2950-II-Server-2x-2-33GHz-E5345-Quad-...

That was Dell's response too and that's what I've been doing. However, this is such a major headache for a large group when you are trying to do hands on training - it takes terribly long as we have to reboot between each configuration setting! A simulator would help as the trainees could play with different configurations before doing it on real hardware!
I always have ~5 Dell R720's servers on my bench at anyone time - I was trying to get more people in the team involved to ease the load on the few (me) who know how to do it!
Anyway, such is life!
Cheers, ak.
