[Cialug] KVM Virt & Server hardware

  I was starting to get a KVM (Virtualization) server up for demonstration
for Oct's meeting but I found the disk shelf I have has RAID array drivers
that were dropped from the CentOS 7 kernel, so no RAID array for me with
CentOS 7 unless I go through my same vague instructions and discover
something new in a process I've repeated several times. This is one
possible solution but I'm hoping to avoid it right now as my home machine
complains when virtualizing w/ few resources.
  I've found tutorials to install the RAID drivers in a Centos 7 install w/
anaconda documentation and  using a self made driver disk, but have not had
success yet. The docs I found were sparse in the driver disk area but
seemed to be the best around. Does anyone have a better tutorial or
documentation source? Another option is a newer server to have a newer raid
array... *does anyone know of anyone getting rid of a server hw surplus
with a server that could run Centos 7?*

Thank you
Kyle
