The version of the DOS driver can also greatly affect the restoration 
speed. Drivers from broadcom.com have worked better for me than the one 
that were on support.dell.com but you're milage may vary. :)

Re: [Veritas-bu] Dell Perc Drivers for BMR






You don't need a DOS driver for the Perc RAID cards.  The disk read and
writes are allowed using interrupts through the Adapter BIOS.

You will need to make sure you have the right DOS network driver.  If it
is the Dual port Intel-Based GigE, then make sure you hae the correct
E1000.DOS driver - the one made for that card.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Dell Perc Drivers for BMR

We're trying, yet again, to test a BMR restore on a Dell server.  In
order to get it to boot, I've been trying to find a DOS driver for a
Dell Perc 3/di RAID controller.  The only ones I've found are either on
a boot disk or Windows only.  Has anyone had success in using BMR with
this, or a similar Perc controller?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jason
