Having an issue with my recent toys, a Samsung SM961 1TB M.2 SSD and the HPE ProLiant TM200, related to booting from this drive.
I can install on and boot from the M.2 when mounted in the TM200. It works, but only partially. And it's the bad kind of partially.
It only boots from, and even only shows up as present, after a power-on or "hard" reset (including "saving UEFI changes and restart" type restarts). After a regular "warm" restart (software reboot from within OS, ctrl+alt+del from boot menu, etc), however, the M.2 is missing completely in the UEFI.
I've updated to the most recent UEFI available to me without an active HPE support subscription (2.60_05-21-2018A, a.k.a. U26_0521.18).
I have reset UEFI settings. I have only the M.2 unit installed together with 2x32GB RDIMMs.
What leads me to believe it's the SSD and not the HPE TM200 is that I've tried also with a Seagate Firecuda 520 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD, and this drive works and is bootable so far with any kind of reboot.
I haven't tested the SM961 drive and its behavior in any other system yet.
I've found a similar issue related to the SM961 firmware.
Anyone else had experience with this and the Samsung SM961, or other NVMe M.2 drives?
