P410 using ORCA should work on your I64.

If you want to talk to the P410 from OpenVMS/I64 you'll need to do something like this:

In order for the p410 to operate with OpenVMS/I64 including boot support the followup file must be included on the bootable system disk or any other boot media:

sys$system:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT:

        device          = "Smart Array P-series P400"
         name          = PK
         driver        = SYS$PKRDRIVER
         adapter       = PCI
         id            = 0x3230103C
         boot_class    = DK
         boot_flags    = HW_CTRL_LTR, UNIT_0
         flags         = CISS, PORT, BOOT
       end_device
      device          = "Smart Array P-series PMC PCIe"
         name          = PK
         driver        = SYS$PKRDRIVER
         adapter       = PCI
         id            = 0x323A103C
         boot_class    = DK
         boot_flags    = HW_CTRL_LTR, UNIT_0
         flags         = CISS, PORT, BOOT
       end_device
