ClearOS 7 install with old HP DL360 G5 with P400 hardware raid

Due to CentOS stop support old HP hardware raid controller by default, you can't find the raid drive for installation, you can enable support manually, I tested it work for me.

1. Boot up and hit "F8" to setup hardware raid.

2. Boot with hpsa enable
Boot with installation DVD, at the boot screen hit "Tab" on the button you will see the boot option, add "hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1 hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1" at the end, and hit Enter to continue.

3. Install ClearOS 7
Start normal installation process, when finished you will need reboot the system to rescue boot.

4. Boot to Rescue mode
Reboot the system at the boot screen hit "e" to edit boot option, 
Find the line begin with linux16 /vmlinuz-3....... and add "rescue hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1 hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 at the end, Press Ctrl-x the boot.

5. Edit boot option enable hpsa
Enter root password and type "vi /etc/default/grub" to edit boot option, 
fine the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=clearos/root rd.lvm.lv=clearos/swap rhgb quiet" and hit "Insert key" to add "hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1 hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1" after quite,

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=clearos/root rd.lvm.lv=clearos/swap rhgb quiet hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1 hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1"


hit "Esc" then type :wq to save and exit, then type "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" hit enter to re-configure the grub.


All done - Reboot and continue configura your system
