Replace the raid controller in the chassis with an HBA before moving into the new hardware? ;)
If you do move to the HP controller, make sure you're monitoring the health of the cache battery in the controller. We notice a significant increase to await on our OSD nodes behind these when the cache battery fails. We've replaced over 10 batteries on HP raid controllers for our OSD nodes and the first time we noticed it, there were 6 of them failed across multiple clusters causing the OSDs to be slower in those nodes.
