Hello.
I am trying to install ProxMox 6.x (plus dist-upgrade) on a HP ProLiant ML350p Gen8.

In the process I use:
1x Raid for OS (2x 120GB) - Ok
4x NVMe on controller for ZFS - Error

# Problem
Only 1 of the 4x NVMe is mounted.

Here it stops with me really totally.
There are 4x ONE NVMe single adapter.
So nothing with Bifructuatiuon.

Can anyone Help me please!

Code:
root@proxmox1:~# dmesg | grep -i nvme

Only 1 of the 4x NVMe is mounted.
This reminds me of the early days of NVMe-devices (which would likely fit to your Gen8-Server).
We experienced it with multiple vendors (NVMe-flash-units) which were not correctly filling the serial number field in the SCSI vendor codes.
A lot of solutions do rely on these fields so we needed firmware-updates on the NVMe flash-devices as well as Bios-Updates IIRC.

Check if your vendor provides FW-updates.
