Any official support list of SAS RAID controller?

I am not going to use those servers from HP, IBM, etc. My computer is desktop level and plan to insert a PCI-E SAS RAID controller card, that use to connect to an external SAN storage (https://www.areca.com.tw/products/storage-8042.html) I afraid I might buy the wrong RAID card that oVirt can't recognize. Is there any official support list of SAS RAID controller?

Ovirt is a Layer above that - it manages the Virtualization and anything related to that (host kernel parameters ,etc). As it runs on CentOS & RHEL - you just need to be sure that the OS has a module for that. Keep in mind that oVirt 4.4 is moving to CentOS/ RHEL 8, so you have to check if the RAID card you plan to use is supported, or you can consider if software raid is an option. You always have the option to get your own kernel, but there is no guarantee that everything will be working flawlessly. Just ask in the CentOS user list about the raid cards the others are using ( CentOS 8). Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Thanks Strahil. I will go check the RAID controller compatibility of CentOS 8. I will not consider software RAID due to the performance issue.
