(OT) Where Can I Find A PERC Simulator?
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.

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-Core-16GB-RAM-2x1TB-PERC-5i-/221295119685?pt=COMP_EN_Servers&hash=item3386378d45
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.
