Re: Slow RAID Check/high %iowait during check after updgrade from CentOS 6.5 -> CentOS 7.2

I installed the latest firmware and driver (mpt2sas) from HP on one system.  The driver is v20, it appears the firmware may be 15, though:

[   11.128979] mpt2sas version 20.100.00.00 loaded
[   11.513836] mpt2sas0: LSISAS2308: FWVersion(15.10.09.00), ChipRevision(0x05), BiosVersion(07.39.00.00)
