R540 + PERC H730p + CentOS7 doesn't connect at SCV2020
I have a R540 with CentOS 7 installed in a RAID-1 by a PERC H730p with 2 local HDs. I need to connect in a storage SCV2020 using a SAS Connecting (server connected directly on the storage). I already installed the multipath, dell-system-update, Dell storage manager client, srvadmin-base, srvadmin-storageservices, drivers megaraid_sas and mpt3sa on the CentOS. When I open the Dell storage manager client and try to add the CentOS into the storage it didn't find the HBAs and when I go to SAS Domain 1 both the top Controller and Bottom Controller are with status down...
The cables are ok, in the PERC the port1 is connected in port1 at Top Controller and port2 is connected in port1 at Bottom Controller (Cabling Direct-Attached Host Servers).
I don't know what is happening, I find that the PERC H730p is configured in the RAID mode, not in HBA mode... is this the problem?
Please, I need a help to do it!
Tks

Hello MsilvA45,
You are using the wrong card to connect your SCv2020 to your host. Your SCv2020 already has raid controllers in them and you are connecting to another raid controller with the PERC card.
Here is a link to the support matrix for your SCv2020, & if you look on page 108-111 it lists out the support sas controllers. http://en.community.dell.com/dell-groups/dtcmedia/m/mediagallery/20438558
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
