lshw shows a lot of UNCLAIMED devices while the system is "Certified"

jo flag

Running the following system:

Host: Lenovo ThinkSystem SR550 (gen2) with a HW RAID Controller ThinkSystem 5350-8i.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.01 server

Kernel: 5.15.0-56-generic

The system is supposedly Certified for Ubuntu:

https://ubuntu.com/certified/201904-26967

But, when checking the output of lshw, there is A LOT of UNCLAIMED devices.

Some of which, seem to be sensors and others related to the chipset itself, or some other peripherial.

Output is in Pastebin, because of the char limit: https://pastebin.com/cNuxhPD5

The i2c-i801 kernel module for the chipset is loaded...

And it does not seem that the RAID controller is recognized as well, despite the Lenovo page saying it is supported in 22.04:

https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1438-thinksystem-raid-5350-8i-adapters#os-4Y37A72482

There is currently RAID 1 configured through the HW controller, but not sure if i am supposed to see any modules loaded for it in lsmod:

raid1                  49152  0

smartctl returns some data and sees the device as type enclosure.

Which i guess could be attributed to wrong recognition, since its unclaimed?

Network controller (network-0) is also said to be UNCLAIMED, yet network-1 (which is an interface), is claimed and works properly.

Any advices on how should i deal with all those UNCLAIMED devices, and if its actually an issue? Nothing else on the internet specifies anything about this much UNCLAIMED or related to this series of servers.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
