Configuring MD32xx(SAS) using MDSM in Debian Linux

Dear Team,
The practical scenario is here one MD3200 enclosure having two controller module and i want to map LUN to Server(R410 with Dell SAS 6 Gbps HBA) which doesn't have any OS but later on want to install Debian Linux after LUN mapping.So i have to do the out band communication using MDSM and the steps are as follows....

1.Discover the storage array.
2.then goto-logical-rt click on unconfirmed capacity-create a disk group-create vd-mapped the lun to singe host.
What the problem i'm facing is that during installation of linux the storage luns are coming first)/dev/sda,/dev/sdb) and the internal lun in the server(sas6ir-raid1) is coming after his(/dev/sdc).My question is how to change the sequence so that the server internal lun will come first agter that the storage luns?

How do i install MDSM in debian server for in band management and also pls provide the link for Dell SAS 6 Gbps HBA driver for debian linux.

Also it will be very appreciable for providing details configuration , installation and best practice of MD32xx storage array.

Thanks in advance
