The NEC compatibility page at http://www.nec.com/en/global/prod/express/linux/centos.html indicates that the R120b2 is not certified for CentOS 7. CentOS 5 and 6, yes, but not 7. As there are other servers listed that are certified for CentOS 7, it isn't that NEC is ignoring CentOS 7; it may just simply not work properly on the R120b2. You'll need to file a bug report with Red Hat, as CentOS is just going to repackage the source Red Hat ships. There have been 'zero port' RAID cards in the past where the RAID controller uses motherboard ports with hardware RAID; I have an Adaptec ASR-2000S here that is for a particular SuperMicro motherboard that uses the Adaptec SCSI controllers on the motherboard for the disk ports (dedicated PCI-X slot for it; performance was quite good and comparable to the RAID controllers with ports on the controller). I don't know if this would be the case with the R120b2 or not. But it may be that the particular MegaRAID controller you have is simply not recognized (maybe even shut down after boot) by the CentOS 7 kernel. For CentOS 7 it would seem that you need to remove the RAID card and clear the disks that are on the motherboard ports and install with CentOS 7 software RAID. I know that some older LSI MegaRAID SAS cards are supported; I have several Dell PowerEdge 1950's running CentOS 7 (yes, I'm aware of the battery issues). The relevant section of the lspci output on them: ... 01:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04) ... But when I install Centos 5.X/6.X 64bit; I can see the disks as standalone disks as well as dmraid devices. Can you post the output of lspci from CentOS 6, please? While you might not think that lspci would show different outputs from different version of the distribution, you might be surprised. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Dear Alexander; Thanks for your reply but what you are saying could apply in Europe and USA but not in Middle East.

NEC engineers very solid and produces very reliable server hardware. Many components are industry standard, as the Intel chipsets and processors, OEM LSI RAID controller cards, Emulex FiberChannel HBAs, ...

If so, you'd have to build a driver disk and maintain your own driver builds for each kernel update. It's not "no hope" exactly, but it would probably take a moderate amount of experience to keep running. I'd be wary of hardware used as far back as CentOS 5, but I don't see driver changes between RHEL 6 and 7 that I'd expect to impact an LSI Megaraid card. The old "megaraid" driver was dropped in RHEL 6, leaving just the megaraid_sas driver in 6 and 7. If you run release 6 on that system (boot a live image), look at "lspci" and "lsmod" output. The latter will tell you what drivers are in use, and should be useful to tracking down support in release 7. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Have you configured the server, via the firmware, to present the drives or RAID as a logical drive?
