January 17, 20188 yr I am having trouble booting into UnRAID via USB on my HP ProLiant DL360e Gen 8. I am using the internal USB port, secure boot is disabled, Boot from USB support is enabled. I verified the USB I created with the unRAID tool works by booting my laptop into unRAID with it, and it worked fine. Any ideas from HP server users?
January 18, 20188 yr make sure legacy boot is on (assuming you have that option) and set to boot from usb first in the bios. are you able to make it to a boot selection screen?

Yes I can make it to a boot selection screen and internal USB is the first boot option, but when I boot to it nothing happens and it just goes to the next items on the boot order.

January 19, 20188 yr Author I tried on other USB ports, and sure it may be a bios setting but I do not know which one, virtualization, boot from USB and other such features are enabled.

You're going to have to fiddle with the settings then. I don't own a gen8 so I can't tell you the settings since the bios is a little bit different.
January 19, 20188 yr Author What type of server do you have? Some of the Bios options may be similar.

January 19, 20188 yr Author Any Bios Options in particular you had to set, or did it just sort of work "Out-of-box"?

IIRC I've had a usb that one computer (non hp) would boot but another computer (non hp) wouldn't but should. After redoing the install, it works for some weird reason.
June 6, 20206 yr Try this, worked for me. Use the USB Creator from UNRAID, Choose, 'customize' and click "allow uefi boot." After that, on the usb you just made, rename the "EFI" folder to "UEFI" After that, go into your bios config. Disable legacy, but keep secure boot off. Be sure to disable all legacy sources. I was able to get my HP bios to auto boot using this method. Hope the helps for anyone who encounters this in the future.
