HPE Proliant DL380P Gen8 Boot Problem

[Phoenix2]

So, I'm new here, I just recently purchased an HP Proliant DL380P Gen8 used and I am having this problem. I get a firmware error whenever I try and boot it from an bootable drive loaded with an ISO. The solution to this problem maybe totally obvious and I just don't know, or my server maybe broken. I did update the ilo4 firmware and the bios firmware to their latest versions, but nothing else beyond that. Any help is appriecated!

Hi,

Is this an issue with Gen8 server or with Proxmox?

Here are some troubleshooting guides for Gen8 servers.

I fixed it. I still have no idea what was going wrong and I still get those errors, but the server now boots. All I had to do was flash proxmox as a DD rather than an ISO.
