The last firmware produced for it is going to be 8 years old... the softpacks for it were pulled due to vulnerabilities in those old versions of linux so even if someone here has a support contract im not sure what software is going to be available.

You are going to have to place trust in some random download, so I am not sure why you would introduce more risk in an old vulnerable machine unless it is having issues.

Bruh, it might have failed after 20 years...... do a liveboot of a rescue distro and stress test it.

The hpsa driver should support it but those controllers need newer firmware to support >2tb drives.

If the raid is not seen... check to see if the driver loaded....

Sometimes free servers are free for a reason.

For the system that doesn't see the controller at all you could try passing the hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 parameter via the kernel command line. That tells the hpsa driver to support older controllers that aren't really supported but might work anyway.
