Dell: No controllers found.

I am running some random check on the system that I handle. One of the Dell server controller is undetectable for unknown reason.

[svr3:/root]# omreport storage controller
No controllers found.

Before you start to panic, run the following command

modprobe mptctl
/etc/init.d/dataeng restart

Now try to execute the controller status command again.

[svr3:/root]# omreport storage controller
Controller SAS 6/iR Adapter (Slot 1)
