Unfortunatally it is the only way to build raid arrays on the controllers. You can recover arrays from the os but not build them.
I will contact 3ware and see what they think...
Thanks

Greetings,
The 7501 chipset is supported, but the setup will probably need some tweaking for the Supermicro. Currently, it's for Intel Clearwater (se7501sw2).
The 2Ware BIOS tools will likely not work under LinuxBIOS. Are they actually necessary, or just a convieniance (I've not worked with it)?
G'day, sjames

Linux BIOS Team,
I was wondering if there is any active work on the above Supermicro boards and are there issues with accessing the 3ware raid controllers bios tools if one is using linux BIOS?
Thanks,
