Hello,
I am trying to install Proxmox 8.3 on a ProLiant DL380 Gen9. I created a USB installation media using Rufus and successfully installed the OS, but after rebooting, the OS did not start, and the installer appeared again.

In the One-time Boot menu, there was an option for Proxmox, so I selected it, but the System Utilities screen appeared immediately, and the OS did not boot.

How can I boot the installed Proxmox?

ProLiant configuration:​

  • CPU: Xeon E5-2630 v3 × 1
  • Memory: 16GB
  • Storage: 4 × 2TB SSD (RAID10)

Hello nhtossyi! Most probably the boot order in the BIOS is set to boot from the USB stick first, so the installer starts again. In your case it is probably the easiest if you simply unplug the USB stick from the system - if the installation was successful, Proxmox VE should then start correctly.
 
What is configured in the boot order menu of the BIOS?

At this point, it probably either means that booting from the disk is disabled for whatever reason, or the installation has failed. But checking the boot order is important, just to be sure.

I thought that the "option for Proxmox" was the USB stick with the Proxmox VE installer. So you tried to boot from the disk (while the USB stick was unplugged), but it failed?
 
The current boot options are as follows:

  • proxmox
  • Generic USB Boot
  • Embedded FlexibleLOM 1: Port 1: HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331 FLR Adapter - NIC (PXE IPv4)
  • Embedded LOM: Port 1: HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331 FLR Adapter - NIC (PXE IPv4)
  • Embedded FlexibleLOM 1: Port 1: HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331 FLR Adapter - NIC (PXE IPv6)
  • Embedded LOM: Port 1: HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331 FLR Adapter - NIC (PXE IPv6)
  • Front USB 2: (USB with the installer)
I selected proxmox, thinking that it was the boot option for the installed OS.

Yes, I tried operating with the USB removed, but it failed.

Alright, thanks for the information. Yes, proxmox is the correct option to select when booting. Being the first in the boot order list means that it should theoretically boot correctly. Don't you see any other error or anything?

Could you please give us some information about:
  1. What filesystem did you select during the installation?
  2. Are you using hardware RAID? This is especially important if you use ZFS, because the documentation states that
ZFS on top of any hardware RAID is not supported and can result in dataloss.
