If this information is true:

http://serverfault.com/questions/58480/serveraid-8-k-linux-kernel-support-preferred-distribution

And your raid controller is using "aacraid" module, I think you are stuck :-

(side note, I'm also using "aacraid" module and no monitoring possible 
for my raid1 and raid5 inside OS, just BIOS, at least while using aacraid 
module which included in kernel).

I would contact IBM and tell them about your options. They provide 
drivers for RedHat and SLES linux distributions, so they can give you 
updated and accurate advice on this.
