Concerning Proxmox 6.2-10

This computer has had VMware 6.7 running on it and it saw the LSA raid card and it's drives,

Now that I have Proxmox 6.2-10 running on it, I see the USB drives and the one drive attached to the motherboard but none of the virtual or physical drives connected to the LSA Raid card under "Drives". Yes, I tried Reload.

Code: 
root@pve3:~# lspci | grep "LSI"
02:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2008 [Falcon] (rev 03)

Not listed in /dev/sd?

Do I need a driver to make it work? What could be wrong.
 
Found this in the Syslog:

Does dmesg say something useful? Is all firmware up to date?
 
Also make sure you upgrade the few of the card to a recent level.
Had issues with my 9211-8i cards and Linux - no stable operation possible. Once io went down the controller the whole mdadm array was blown away.
Updater the firmware to P19 (previously it was a P12) and voila. Rock solid operation since literally years!
