Ya, its definitely driver issue. I had checked RedHat hardware compatibility list but it only list servers, not PCI cards. Essentially, it doesn't list a single HBA card. > My question (rhetorical), why do you want to use an OS that is recently > released and still bleeding for a backup server?

Precisely, I know Centos 7 will be supported for a long time, but I also use this server to keep rsync backups so that user can recover their files easily without having to wait to a potentially off site tapes. The hot data sit on a Virtual Data Optimizer device. It does a great job, compressing and de-duplicating 84TB data into 21TB. However, Virtual Data Optimizer has a bug that I experienced once and its not going to be fixed on RHEL 7. When the physical device fill up before the logical device is full, you loose your data. That make one be too conservative on RHEL 7, but its fine on RHEL 8, hence why I am adopting it early.
