mdadm is for software raid.
You are speaking about hardware raid : Embedded SATA RAID Controller !

If you have an onboard raid controller, you have first to create a "Volume"
using the HP utilities (this is in the bios or when booting on a CD)
Then when installing Centos you should see the Volume you have created. If
not try using the Driver Diskette.
