Does not detect disks during installation - LSI Logic controller

Hi,
today I bought an HP Z600 computer which I will devote to the server. The computer has a RAID controller LSI Logic model SAS3041E-HP.
Why does the installation program not see my disks connected to this controller? Do I need additional software? This is my first controller and I thought that installing CentOS 8 would detect my disks

The CentOS 7 installation program has detected the controller and disks

Sounds like it'll be one of the controllers that Red Hat decided not to support in RHEL 8. The RHEL Release Notes have a list.

Can I create a pendrive with the system installation and add drivers to this controller to the pendrive with install?

See the "Known issues" section of the
CentOS 8 Release Notes that starts with "Support for some adapters has been removed.." You need to find out the vendor:device ID pairing of your controller and file a request for a DUD with ELRepo.

My controller is 1c: 00.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Broadcom / LSI SAS1064ET PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS [1000: 0056] (rev 08)
and I didn't find it on this list, but I found SAS1064R on this list.
This computer is to be a KVM server and I want to install on it CentOS8 as a host system. There is no point in installing CentOS7 as a host?
As guest systems, I will also install CentOS8. Maybe one guest system will have CentOS7 installed.

Unless I'm mistaken, device [1000: 0056] is indeed supported by the mptsas driver in the CentOS-8 GA kernel (4.18.0-80). So not sure why it is not detected.
In any event you may want to try using the DUD image from ELRepo to install CentOS-8.

You may also need to setup the disks in the controller.
I don't know about this work station, but normally you enter the
raid card setup during boot with CRTL plus a key combination.

I have this DUD image on the second flash drive.
Normally boot from a USB stick with CentOS8 installation? Later I connect a second flash drive? I have never used such solutions

Ok, I know how to use it. The installer has detected disks connected to the controller.
Today I will carry out the installation and see if everything works properly
