    I have got different IBM server (Netfinity 5000 and xSeries 336) with
    ServeRaid SCSI card controllers.

    I would like to manage disks drived by these controllers with the IBM
    software found on CD delivered with the servers.

    I am able to run both ipssend and RaidMan (a java GUI). The problem
    is that ipssend find the controller but RaidMan does not.

    Any idea or link someone (google was not helpful, nor was IBM websites) ?

    Here is the way I start RaidMan as root, since things on the CD are
    prepared only for SuSe and RedHat :

    $ modprobe mptctl
    $ java -Djava.compiler=NONE -cp ./RaidMan.jar
    com.ibm.sysmgt.raidmgr.agent.ManagementAgent &
    $ java -Djava.compiler=NONE -cp ./RaidMan.jar com.ibm.sysmgt.raidmgr.mgtGUI.Launch
