   You can write drivers on a CD and use that to
provide it with drivers. During Redhat install there
is an option to manually specify the scsi controller
device, with options if needed, for it to be able to
detect array. ILO is for hardware monitoring purpose
and has nothing to do with your problem at hand. Yes,
software RAID can be done but you can look for pros
and cons for software vs Hardware RAID.

Hope it helps,
