1.3.1. OS Installation (AS2023-TR4 – SuperMicro AMD Epyc Servers)

When installing Proxmox VE the hostname/node name must contain the domain, if no domain is available then simply use .local

E.g.: pveserver01.local

Choose a suitable IP in your network’s CIDR and remember to use the correct keyboard layout, otherwise you’ll have a bit of a headache.

• Set the NVMe disks to AMI Native Support in the BIOS, Firmware Section.

• R/W Disc Reader in Legacy Support Mode

• DISABLE NETWORK STACK

• ALL PCI-e DEVICES IN LEGACY MODE (Except PXE)

(Deprecated) Common Installation Issues with PVE on ZFS RAID-10

If you wish to install the ROOT POOL (RPOOL) on ZFS with RAID 10 on NVMe drives through Software you must first install with RAID Z-1. It will then FAIL the installation due to the next error:

“Unable to mount Root Pool”

Then you can re-try the installation in RAID 10.

Note

This issue is no longer present since Proxmox VE 6.0
