Dynamiteboy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment

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.

Dynamiteboy Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
Dynamiteboy Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 What type of server do you have? Some of the Bios options may be similar. Quote Link to comment

Dynamiteboy Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Any Bios Options in particular you had to set, or did it just sort of work "Out-of-box"? Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
metabyte Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment
