Hi everyone, I need some help with installing Proxmox.
The server I want to install it on is a Dell PowerEdge R740xd with a PERC H730P RAID card. I want to install the operating system on two used SAS SSDs in ZFS RAID 1, in UEFI mode. I set the RAID card to HBA mode, but during installation I see several I/O errors, and after installation, when Proxmox would start, a “BIOS halted” error appears in iDRAC and the system freezes.I thought maybe one of the SSDs was faulty, so I tried installing on two SAS HDDs, also with the ZFS filesystem, but the result was the same as with the SSDs.
I read that ZFS doesn’t like RAID cards even in HBA mode, so I created a hardware RAID with the two SAS SSDs in a mirror and tried installing with an ext4 filesystem, but the installation doesn’t progress past 3%.
I also read that with ZFS it’s worth using the command wipefs -a /dev/sda to delete existing ZFS data, but that also gave an error:
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#777 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s
