What model LSI card?
Is that card on the RHEL hardware support list?
Does LSI/Dell have drivers on their site?
Have you tried drivers from LSI/Dell and using the dd(driver disk) option during
install?

Steven, thank you for your help.

I am remote from the unit today, and do not have a good way to look at
the board today, but the contents of /proc/scsi/scsi is :

I do not have a RedHat subscription, but do have an account.  When I did
a search on "GEM359" it was not found.

I have not been able to wade through the Broadcom web site to see if
they have any drivers for the LSI, but have not finished.  I was not
able to find anything when I tried to use Centos 6; I was hoping that
this was remedied for Centos 7

I have never used the dd option during an install, but am willing to
learn.
