Something many people don't understand about HP ProLiant servers is that HP Smart Array controllers are capable of having multiple "Logical Drives" on the same physical "Array". See: HP Proliant Microserver Gen8: OS on a Micro SD or USB drive a good idea? Hit Shift-O during installation and add formatwithmbr: What am I missing that's preventing the USB drive from booting on the Microserver Gen8 when using the internal port?įormat your USB with MBR and not GPT partitions. I had the same problem with another USB drive but thought it might just be bad luck for compatibility, however two USB drives doing the same thing seems a little bit suspect. To confirm the USB stick is working I pulled it out of the Microserver Gen8 and booted it on a laptop, which booted no problem.

The steps I took to do this was burn the ISO to a CD and installed it to a 8 GB Transcend while it was plugged into the internal USB slot of the Microserver Gen8.

I installed ESXi 6 with the customised ProLiant HP image (Jan 2016).

No matter what I try it will not make any attempt to boot the internal USB to load the hypervisor. I'm trying to run ESXi 6 off the Internal USB 2.0 port on a HP Microserver Gen8.
