Hello
Anyone ever worked with ProLiant DL380 Gen9 with Smart Array P840ar controller in HBA mode?
I change it from RAID mode to HBA mode and the boot process are extremely slow!
Thanks

Well it turns out that was a virtual driver that points out to the internet but there is no internet on iLO!
So it's doesn't reach the web site where the ISO image for installation and this is cause the whole system to slow down.
After remove the URL in the virtual driver, everything run smothly.

@Gilberto Ferreira I'm seeing the same thing... How exactly did you remove the URL from the virtual driver?

iLO -> Virtual Media -> Virtual Media -> Connect CD/DVD-ROM
There's a filed that I had have filled with http://download.proxmox.com/iso/proxmox-ve_7.3-1.iso
It seems that the iLO there isn't an outgoing connection to the internet, so it lead to slow boot.

Yea, my issue must be something else because I have nothing in virtual media

Mine hangs here for like 5-10 mins





eventually the Smart Array box checks, and then a few mins later the smart recovery box and then the boot proceeds
