Today I decided to upgrade one of my file server. The server has few components which are considered out dated today, which includes HighPoint RocketRAID 2640X4SGL 4-Channel PCI-Express x4 SAS 3Gb/s RAID Controller, and CentOS 7. When I first booted to Rocky Linux 9, I’ve noticed that the OS could not recognize the controller card. Here is the fix:

Visit: https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el9/x86_64/

Download the latest version of dd-mvsas file. As of today, the latest version is:

https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el9/x86_64/dd-mvsas-0.8.16-7.el9_4.elrepo.iso

Once you download the file, mount it and install the rpm file in the package.

sudo mount dd-mvsas-0.8.16-7.el9_4.elrepo.iso /mnt/
cd /media/rpms/x86_64
sudo rpm -i kmod-mvsas-0.8.16-7.el9_4.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
sudo reboot

That’s it, hope it helps.
