Hp Proliant Proliant Ml350 Drivers. A4TECH G6 10 MOUSE DRIVER. ACER INTEGRATED SAS CONTROLLER ROK DRIVER. ML350 G6: Additional RAID controller I recently purchased a used ProLiant ML350 G6 server. It has a SFF (2.5') HDD cage, and has 3x 500GB SFF drives mounted and set up in the onboard P410i controller as RAID 0+1 (two drives mirrored + one drive spare).

I've an HP Proliant DL360 G5 server with two 72gb HDD in RAID and 2 150gb HDD in RAID.
I've Windows Server installed on the 72gB HDD and I'm now trying to overwrite it with a fresh installation of CentOS 7 x64.
When I try to install it it says that I need to manually configure the hard disks but when I open the partitioning tool no HDD are detected.
I'm using the ~4GB DVD installer.
How can I fix this problem?

Interesting issue...
So the HP RAID controller driver from around 2001 to ~2009 was the CCISS driver. There was a transition to the HPSA driver at some point, moving the Smart Array controller support back into the regular SCSI subsystem versus the dedicated block driver...
HP servers from the G1 to G5 era used the CCISS driver. On newer operating systems (EL6 and forward), HP ProLiant G6 and newer systems made use of the HPSA driver.
Hp Proliant Ml350 G6 Server
It turns out that RHEL7 removes the old CCISS module. Your fix in this case, since the Smart Array P400 controller in your G5 server isn't recognized, is to force the HPSA driver to load your older controller. Do this with:
As a module parameter...
From the man page.
hpsa_allow_any=1: This option allows the driver to attempt to operate on any HP Smart Array hardware RAID controller, even if it is not explicitly known to the driver. This allows newer hardware to work with older drivers. Typically this is used to allow installation of operating systems from media that predates the RAID controller, though it may also be used to enable hpsa to drive older controllers that would normally be handled by the cciss(4) driver. These older boards have not been tested and are not supported with hpsa, and cciss(4) should still be used for these.
EDIT
This is a much more involved process than expected. You need to add that string to the module load parameters.
The official word is that the older controllers are just no longer supported. While you can get it running, it's less-than-ideal. So I'd probably stay away from EL7 for now. There will likely be a workaround, since there's an existing install base of these servers...
kernel component, BZ#1061210 When the hpsa_allow_any option is used, the hpsa driver allows the use of PCI IDs that are not listed in the driver's pci-id table. Thus, cards detected when this option is used, are not supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
