Install RHEL 7 on unsupported HP Smart Array (P400)
Hello community, after hours (days) spent to understand what's the problem reported also in the following thread:
Can't boot RHEL7.2 due to "Start Job is Running"
I realize that the problem is the server itself. I opened a new thread since the issue in not related to the previous at all.
As per the following release note:
Chapter 25. Kernel - Red Hat Customer Portal
Smart Array P400 (the one mounted on my DL385G2 server) is not longer supported. So I tried to install RHEL 7.2 Enterprise Server directly on my Server, and the result is that it can't recognize the disks at all because the hpsa driver doesn't support it...
Anyone know if there is a workaround for that? I have only this sever, and I absolutely need to install RHEL7 due to software compatibility (I have to install a custom software).
Thank you
Lucas

4) Start installation from DVD.

CISS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CISS(4)
NAME
ciss -- Common Interface for SCSI-3 Support driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device ciss
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
ciss_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ciss driver claims to provide a common interface between generic SCSI transports and intelligent host adapters.
The ciss driver supports CISS as defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04,
Valence Number 1, dated 2000/11/27, produced by Compaq Computer Corporation.
We provide a shim layer between the ciss interface and CAM(4), offloading most of the queueing and being-a-disk chores onto CAM. Entry to
the driver is via the PCI bus attachment ciss_probe(), ciss_attach(), etc. and via the CAM interface ciss_cam_action(), and ciss_cam_poll().
The Compaq ciss adapters require faked responses to get reasonable behavior out of them. In addition, the ciss command set is by no means
adequate to support the functionality of a RAID controller, and thus the supported Compaq adapters utilize portions of the control protocol
from earlier Compaq adapter families.
Currently ciss supports the ``simple'' and ``performant'' transport layer.
Non-disk devices (such as internal DATs and devices attached to the external SCSI bus) are supported as normal CAM devices provided that they
are exported by the controller firmware and are not marked as being masked. Masked devices can be exposed by setting the
hw.ciss.expose_hidden_physical tunable to non-zero at boot time. Direct Access devices (such as disk drives) are only exposed as pass(4)
devices. Hot-insertion and removal of devices is supported and notification messages will be reported to the console and logs.
The problem which adapter freezes with the message ``ADAPTER HEARTBEAT FAILED'' might be solved by updating the firmware and/or setting the
hw.ciss.nop_message_heartbeat tunable to non-zero at boot time.
HARDWARE
Controllers supported by the ciss driver include:
o Compaq Smart Array 5300 (simple mode only)
o Compaq Smart Array 532
o Compaq Smart Array 5i
o HP Smart Array 5312
o HP Smart Array 6i
o HP Smart Array 641
