Strange Issue

Hi Guys,

I've just bought a load of kit for a home server/ESXi lab.

Motherboard is a Supermicro X10SRH-CLN4F.

I'm also using a Perc H700 RAID card in the machine, and having a weird issue on boot.

When I create any VDs in the Perc H700 it refuses to boot, gets stuck on postcode B2 DXE--USB Device Detection.

However If I remove all thee VDs and just leave them as unconfigured drives in the PERC BIOS, it will boot fine, no issues.

Any ideas? I have tried changing the Boot option to legacy with no avail.

Not sure what to try?

Cheers

anyone?

You tried this?

Sorry for the slow reply - I hadn't tried that, and not sure it will do much as it says the issue is with IMPI v. 2.19 - I'm currently on 3.27 so assume it would have been fixed by that point...

Any other ideas?

http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/faq.cfm?faq=15734 maybe try that?

Hmm that's annoying as I'm using VT-d. Thought pretty sure that issue was only present with the 5/i (Old SCSI card I believe) and not for the 6/i or H700. I tried to crossflash to 9260 which didn't work

As in, I didn't manage to flash it in the end, wouldn't seem to crossflash

Sounds like you're having a very specific issue. Maybe try supermicro support?

Depending on the OS you're using have you thought about using some sort of drive pooling? While it's not exactly the same as RAID, it would be very similar.
