CentOS - Aug 2019 - how to use an Adaptec RAID 51645

Hallo,
has anyone a hint how to use an Adaptec RAID 51645 under Centos 7?

A volume is created using the controller interface but isn't active  
under centos.

Thanks for hintsts

That's a pretty old RAID controller. Kernel module support for such old 
cards have been dropped by RHEL. Check the ELrepo for a matching 
package.

https://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-aacraid

should be a fit.

It would be helpful to check the PCI IDs of that card using "lspci -n"
or "lspci -nn". I just saw the current EL7 kernel provides

# ls -Al 
/lib/modules/3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/
total 56
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 56884 Jul 29 20:07 aacraid.ko.xz

and "modinfo aacraid" shows a long list of supported devices.

According to 
https://adaptec.com/de-de/speed/raid/aac/linux/aacraid_linux_rpms_v1_1_7-29100_tgz.php
the module should be a fit for the Adapted RAID 51645.
