How do I install the server proxmox with efi? The system even dvd disk does not see.
 
The OFFICIAL website of proxmox nobody knows how to put the product on a server uefi?
Or does not support proxmox uefi?
 
Hi,
your issue-discription is a little bit poor. I assume thats the reason why nobody answers.

What do you mean with "evendvd diskdoes"??

Which version do you tried?

If you mean, that the installation-cd boots, but don't find the cd-media, then the cd-rom isn't supported (ask your server-vendor for debian lenny support). Use simply an external CD-ROM connected via usb and boot from there.

If you came further with the installation, where is the problem?

Excuse my bad English.The problem is UEFI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface). If the server BIOS to disable efi,it becomes possible toboot from cd proxmox,but lost some of the features associated with the regime of efi such as support partitions larger than 2TB. I have a boot able dvd drive redhat on it in the folder is a folder efi bottle,and with it I can load at any time.But with the dvd I can boot proxmox only in disconnected mode efi.
It seems to methatdoes not supportproxmox UEFI,oram I mistaken?

Hi,
boot-partition larger than 2TB are also not supported from the pve-installer - in this case efi bring not effort.

Can you install without efi and after that boot with efi??

With the included uefi cd with proxmox simply ignored,it does not appear in the list of devices from which to boot.

3.4.1.1 Removable Media Boot Behavior
Extensible Firmware Interface Specification
The system firmware will attempt to boot from a removable media FilePath by adding a default
file name in the form \EFI\BOOT\BOOT{machine type short-name}.EFI. Where machine type
short-name defines a PE32+ image format architecture. Each file only contains one EFI image
type, and a system may support booting from one or more images types.
