The cciss driver has been deprecated.

What is your device IDs [xxxx:yyyy] ? You can find it by running "lspci -nn" .

02:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Hewlett-Packard Company Smart Array Gen8 Controllers [103c:323b] (rev 01)

So I should upgrade my hardware ? this is the gen8 raid controller. Am I searching for the wrong driver?

On an EL9 system, I see:

$ modprobe -c | grep -i 103c.*323b

Your device with [103c:323b] is supported by the hpsa driver. Can you give it a try?

It is an in-kernel module. No external driver needed if your device is supported.

$ modinfo hpsa
filename: /lib/modules/5.14.0-70.17.1.el9_0.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/hpsa.ko.xz
license: GPL
version: 3.4.20-200
description: Driver for HP Smart Array Controller version 3.4.20-200
author: Hewlett-Packard Company
rhelversion: 9.0

Try running 'modprobe hpsa' and see if that works.

because of this I thought I'll need an external driver

Apparently 'hpsa' is listed as the "unmaintained hardware" in RHEL 9:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_9/index#unmaintained-hardware-support

Also from:

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6663421

"The third category of hardware, unmaintained, was introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0. It covers items that, while still enabled, are no longer tested or updated on a routine basis. It creates a bridge between deprecation and disablement to allow customers additional time to migrate to an enabled solution before hardware becomes unusable."

so does that mean that as soon as red hat drops support the hpsa will be available in elrepo?

As far as the code is maintained/updated in the mainline kernel (at kernel.org) and it is buildable on el9, yes, we may be able to provide the driver.

I don't have any more questions I think we can close the ticket again. Thank you for the time! :)

Alright, closing as 'resolved'.
