Do you mean that the raid array is not detected during install?

If you want to double check the support from the kernel, you can do an 
install on a separate SSD and then look if the xcp dom0 kernel sees your 
card or not using dmesg and lspci.
Then you can check if the raid array disk is there or not. If the card 
is properly detected but you cannot see the raid array disk, you could 
double check that the raid is properly initialized using the CLI tools 
from hp.
I often use the SSD for system + raid array for SR strategy for raid 
card not directly supported during installation. It works fine, you just 
have to create a SR on the raid array after installation.
Hope this helps,

Denis
