Needed in this case for broadcom and mptlinux kernel modules, I think.
 It's a Dell box.

Sorry - this machine was meant to be a webserver :)

I think this is a script for monitoring LVs for failures, using the
device mapper.  By inspection it does a vgchange --monitor -y on all
of the volume groups.

Not sure why the machine has been built as Xen capable.  It will never
be used as such.  I didn't build this one... I build mine with
kickstart and puppet, and have a puppet recipe to turn off various
