I had to install C5 on a dev server for various reasons (legacy system support and so forth). This dev server is a HP DL180 G6, with a SmartArray P410 raid card... I've installed hpacucli via the RPM from HP's site, but its not finding the controller... C5 (64 bit) is using the default CCISS drivers for this card.
# hpacucli ctrl all show config
Error: No controllers detected.
lspci -v reports...

never mind, I installed an old version :-/
Hang on - here's something you might be interested in: I just rebuilt a DL380 G5 from XP Server (!) to CentOS 6.5. After I installed hpacucli, and tried to configure the attached RAID box... and *boy* was that screwed up. I have 25 drives in the RAID box. But hpacucli showed me drives in bays 9-17 *twice*, then the rest as singletons. I rebooted, and used the firmware, and it reported the same thing, meaning there's crap in that thar code. However, I was able to configure it the way we wanted - 24 drives RAID 6, one hot spare, because in the firmware, it offers the drives with check boxes, so regardless of what where it *says* they are, I could check what I wanted, and that worked correctly.
mark, unimpressed with HP software

are you using non-HP drives? is this dual ported SAS with SAS drives? or what?

All HP, as far as I know.
