Actually, this likely is not a bug.    The server you're working with 
was retired by the manufacturer in November 2009 and all support for the 
systems ceased 5 years later in November 2014.  So now it's almost a 
full 10 years since the server was retired. Given the fact that HP used 
some pretty specific RAID controllers, I think it's more likely that 
support for the required drivers has dropped off between RHEL6 and 
RHEL7.   In fact, a quick search on Red Hat's site confirms this: 
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/874443

Using a more recent server, or one that is better supported by the 
kernel, will improve your results.
