NVME drive randomly not detected

[petern]

Hi everyone.

I'm installing ProxmoxVE 8 (latest) on HP Elite Mini G9 i7 with two 4TB Lexar 790 drives installed

The drives are visible in Bios, I disabled Boot Security, reset the keys, disabled pretty much every protection option I could find in BIOS (updated to newest version), and tried with RAID option in the BIOS and without it.

I'm trying configure it in ZFS RAID-1, but I think this is irrelevant, as the drives are randomly available or not in the installer as well.

What I have is that one of the drives (not always the same), or both are not being initiated on PVE boot. So, when both are available I can successfully install PVE with ZFS pool initiated as I need. After install though, either everything works, or one of my drives (or both) are missing from the system.

Any idea what may be happening?

A small update. I just reinstalled the whole thing with PVE 7.4 and so far it works every time. Tests are pending.

Still, would love to figure out the issue with v8.x

Thank you, I'll monit the progress of that update.
