It's a real raid adapter and the linux kernel is able to handle it with the standard ips module
I found some references in Google that seemed to indicate a "fakeraid" controller, one that depends on the driver to do the RAID calculations...
All ServeRAID adapters from IBM are real hardware-based RAID cards. The only exception are some cards then end with "e" in their name. But all "ServerRAID Xi" cards are real HW RAID. Anyway, see here "http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0054.html" for a complete overview of all IBM ServeRAID cards.
I've run a lot of machines with these type of ServeRAIDs and they all worked fine.
