So far I've tried a Highpoint RocketRAID 2740 and a LSI 9201-16i without too much success.
The MegaRAID 9271 works OOTB with CentOS 6.4. Every 3ware card (also from LSI) I've used also works OOTB with CentOS. If you are new to hardware RAID, the 3ware interface is a lot easier to learn than the MegaRAID's. (I suspect that other LSI cards, including the 9201, work fine with CentOS too; perhaps you can post your error messages so we can see what's wrong, instead of replacing a working controller.)
Okay, thanks.
I see several of you guys say that the Megaraid as well as the LSI-card should work out of the box with CentOS. My understanding is that the necessary driver modules are already built into the kernel. Am I assuming this correctly that the card should therefore be seen at install with no tweaking?
In any case, I sent the thing back to the dealer yesterday. Awaiting their testing results. -- //Sorin
