Red Hat does discontinue support for some storage driver for very old 
hardware when they start a new release series.  For EL6, that list is here:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Migration_Planning_Guide/sect-packages-deprecated-drivers.html

For 7:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Migration_Planning_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Migration_Planning_Guide-Removed_Drivers.html

I did a cursory check, and don't see any drivers that were removed in 6 
present in 7.

Run 'lsmod' on the system you're currently running and see if you can 
locate the storage driver.  I'm guessing it's "megaraid" which is not 
present in EL7.

Gordon,

Thank you for your help

Looks like it is time for an upgrade
