Good evening:

I got unRaid up and running using the SD card slot integrated into my new Proliant's motherboard, no problem.

 

...except...when it boots...t says my USB is blacklisted.  It's thinking the iLO on the motherboard is the USB device.

 

I know running off of SD card isn't officially supported, but it works PERFECTLY on the Proliant and being able to utilize that integrated SD card slot, freeing up a USB port, would be awesome.

 

Is there a way to...un-blacklist...my server?

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Unless it presents a unique GUID it cannot be used to boot Unraid.

I have no idea what it's even pulling the GUID from.  I think it's picking up the motherboard for the GUID as it says iLO is blacklisted.  That's a feature of the Proliant's motherboard/NIC.  I don't really think it has anything to do with the SD card.  I don't know, though.

 

I mean...if all else fails, I can just shove a USB drive into the thing I guess, but it sure would be nice to be able to boot from the SD card slot that's built into the motherboard...

SD cards don't themselves have GUIDs.  The SD Card Reader is what has the GUID.  And if the GUID isn't present, or isn't unique (which is common with SD Card Readers), then you can't use it for unRaid's boot device.  Anti-Piracy Protection.

Ah.  Got ya.  Hence SD cards not being supported, I suppose.

 

Very well, I guess.  Sure would be nice to use that SD card slot.

 

Thanks, everyone.
