I'm assuming that /dev/sda is your main disk(s) in the machine itself?

I'm concerned that there's no /dev/sdb or similar to represent the Powervault... in fact, I'm struggling to see any reference anywhere in the files you provided.

Definitely attached up okay, and enabled at the BIOS level, etc.?

Do you know what kind PERC is in your PowerEdge?  It seems to a PERC4 as lshw reports a megaraid_mbox module used, but there's nothing about megaraid_mbox mentioned in dmesg.  But there's a megasas entry... might be a driver mismatch somewhere.

I think I should share some points (a third maybe?) for participation.  MushyPea didn't seem to resolve it for the asking person, and my suggestion may well serve as the next step.
Linux Distributions
Linux Distributions

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
