So in need of help with this SuperMicro server X10DRU-i+ | Motherboards | Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc.
I’ve been googling about booting from an NVME and found this article - FAQ Entry | Online Support | Support - Super Micro Computer, Inc.
It seems I have to set the PCI-E slots to EFI .. did that ..
Then I set the boot mode to UEFI (done)
The USB proxmox installer is recognized .. and runs. In the installer you pick the disk .. and I can see the Kingston disk (250gb) etc
Install completes normally. I remove the USB media. Then it reboots.. But no matter what I do I can’t get proxmox to boot. I don’t think the motherboard is recognizing which disk to boot from. Spent a few hours on this now. I’m convinced this should work.
This is the riser the disk is plugged into .. Supermicro RSC-W2-66 2U WIO Left-Side Passive Riser Card - 2x PCI-E x16 Signal and 2x PCI-E x16 Output
So where am I going wrong here? I can boot into the UEFI shell and run commands etc. I thought there might be a way of identifying the PCI devices and make sure they are being found, but I’m not familiar with it enough.
Really appreciate someone that has some insights here. Proxmox is installed on the drive.. so how do I get the machine to boot from it?
