Have you tried to follow these
1. 2. 1. Download RHEL 6.3 Software Driver Update and extract it. 3. 2. Copy hpvsa-1.2.4-4.rhel6u3.x86_64.dd to a USB Key formatted as FAT32. 4. 3. Once the floppy driver diskette ready on the USB Key and the Array is being created, is time to begin the CentOS 6.3 installation by booting from the DVD. 5. 4. On the main installation menu for CentOS, mount the USB Key with the driver on it. At the installation menu, select the installation method (just highlight it) and hit “ESC” key to receive the "boot:" prompt 6. 5. At that "boot" prompt enter the following command: linux dd blacklist=ahci 7. 6. Hit ENTER Select Yes for driver diskette, Select the USB drive. 8. 7. Select the driver disk image and select OK . 9. 8. Continue the OS installation, then just click select the logical volume where to install the CentOS 6.3.

It's their new method of saying they have the cheapest servers. Yes, but you can't access the hard drives you just installed...
You need licenses for both the type of disk (if they're SAS, for example) and licenses for turning on the array controller. You enter them into the BIOS.
Not kidding...

You need to license, if I understand Nathan correctly, the drives you put in, when you decide to add more disks, and don't want to pay HP's prices?
No. You've paid a lot of money for that server, and that should include everything in working order.

For clarification, you need a license to run specific disk types. Like SAS.
I don't remember if you need a license for the number of them installed. I don't think so.
The significant problem we ran into was someone at an upstream vendor orders HP stuff via individual part numbers in a specific configuration for us, so we get a server, some disks, whatever... and assemble them on-site. They didn't know (bad vendor, no donut) about the change or spaced it... and didn't send licenses... so you're sitting there with disks in a new server, all ready to load the OS as usual... and the OS can't find any disks.
Then you dig and find there's a BIOS-level license not installed, which isn't intuitively obvious at first.
Then you call the boss and tell 'em to fork over some more money to HP... sorry you thought you got a deal boss, but the server prices actually went UP significantly going to the G8, not the other way around... (GRIN)...
Basically, just another HP annoyance to go along with their truly awful website and endless call-backs from survey companies to see if your last service case met your satisfaction... well, yeah, it did, but THIS SURVEY CALL doesn't... because I've tried to opt out of them a bejillion times... :) :) :)

that sounds like a VAR problem. if I'm buying from a VAR, I expect the system to arrive as ordered and configured.
As we buy direct from HP (big corp), I *ALWAYS* go through the entire 'quickspec' page on any HP gear, carefully studying the options and SKU's, any such licenses should be clear there. For example, I *always* get the full ILO license.

Somebody correct me, but the B320 controller only comes in the "e"-type models of DL3x0 servers, right? We only order the "p" models and we generally don't need to enter licenses to access hard-drives, unless we want to create a RAID6…
They are nice machines, but I'm not sure if they are worth the price - as we don't do Windows and don't install the HP-agents, most of the feature that these agents offer go unused (but paid-for).
The good thing about them is that spares are available very long and work through different generations (Gen8 is the first since G5 that changed almost everything).
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe, with SuperMicro Servers, I'd have to have a much larger (and better organized) inventory of spares that might only fit into specific age-group of servers…

And we like Dell, a lot. When we get a server with a PERC 6xx or 7xx, it *works*, we don't need special licenses or whatever to activate it. <snip>

Um, yes. We've got a ton of servers from Penguin, and in the last year, we've decided we don't want any more, and will try to convince our folks to not get them. They're *all* Supermicro, and over the years we've had a) servers with hot-swap bays where one or more of the four *does* *not* *work* (or the ones I've had to use a pencil to push wires that were hanging down into the bay, preventing the drive from seating, which *is* Penguin's fault); b) of the new 48 core and 64 core systems, we've sent a significant percentage back for repair, mostly new m/bs. I don't trust Supermicro's alleged "quality control", when we're buying high-end servers and we have this problem.

this wasn't the equivalent of a perc6/7, it was onboard basic stuff. i usually get HP kit with p410 cards which are the same sort of thing as your perc, with 1gb flash backed write-back cache..

Just took delivery of an Intel P4000CP server for a client, only wanted 4 HD initially but has capacity for 8. Turns out that only four will work out of the box so to speak, to enable the other 4, my client will have to pay for a product key that gets entered into the bios to enable the extra already present disk controllers. Similarly if one wants to actually use the on board raid in various formats, various drive type etc., additional keys are required - this was not apparent to me at order time as it is not explicitly shown. So no longer can one shop for the "capabilities" of a mb (I checked) and believe the price - one needs to really follow the fine print - the marketers have managed to find another way to squeeze some extra cash out of the sale, i.e. they have actually built and delivered all the hardware, but locked out access until one pays more. Once bitten, twice shy. I've never come across this before, don't build a lot of pure server systems, but from now on will have to make sure I ask all the correct questions to ensure I actually get what I thought I was getting. Have always had a great run out of Intel kit, but this has left me feeling very taken advantage of, I am reasonably astute and do read and research carefully. Not happy, and for this sale they only get 4 out of 10. Buyer beware! Rob

and later, the SKU's for those various combinations. sku BC393A is the SAS license for the B320i which is the budget 'dynamic storage array' controller.. I see nothing about a license for more than 4 drives.

Maybe we are in the end paying the "old full price" for the new limited features... And when we want all the nice/mandatory features, we end up paying a lot more than the advertised price tag. A bit like going to the restaurant in the US; you see it costs $20, but in the end (after the taxes and the mandatory tip) you end up paying extra In the same vein as the almost free printers and the crazy priced cartridges. etc... Marketing marketing marketing...

wow, just, wow. If this is true I will advise against buying any HP server kit whenever we need to buy new servers.
I don't think it's as bad as it sounds, we're still closer to a feather than a chicken here.
HP doesn't generally require licenses for using HDDs in a (proliant) server. There are however at least two situations that do require licenses:
1) B320i (cheap on board fake raid) requires an extra license to use SAS drives instead of SATA (questionable decision IMO)
2) Raid6 (HP calls it ADG) on most smart array controllers requires SAAP license (top of the line like p800 excluded).
Licensing functionality does provide consumer flexibility. A company like HP can develop one version of something (not 10) but still sell it at different price points depending on enabled functionality.
All that said, licenses to access your raid luns is madness if for no other reason than that you can end up without your license a few year down the line (maybe you had to replace the controller and/or system board...).

Thanks, Perfect, initialize the smart array and the instalation can´t find a disk yet, i didnt´t have option to chose a logical drive, but if a chose use a driver disk, show /dev/sdb, so he find a new disk....
Please help,....
