That nice, BUT: Proxmox runs without any problems on every $ 300 desktop or laptop, but not on a > $ 10000 hp enterprise server.

Isn't that's strange, someway...??

[dev_intro]

"To update Firmware from System Utilities:
1.       Copy the binary file to a USB media or iLO virtual media.
2.       Attach the media to the server.
3.       In POST, press F9 to enter System Utilities and select Embedded Applications.
4.       Select “Firmware Update” and then “System ROM”.
5.       Choose “Select Firmware File”, and then select the device and the flash file.   
6.       Select “Start Firmware Update” and allow running to completion."


There is NO USB device...!!

[dev_intro]

I only see "[GPT] Embedded RAID : Smart Array 440ar Controller" - nothing with USB...

[dev_intro]

Maybe the problem is the USB 3.0 boot stick?

[dev_intro]

"1.       Copy the binary file to a USB media or iLO virtual media.
2.       Attach the media to the server.
3.       Boot to Embebded Shell.
4.       Type Map –r to get the assigned file system volume for the USB key.
5.       Change to the current directory to the one with the binary file using the CD command.
6.       Run “fwupdate –d BIOS -f <filename>.flash” to flash the ROM.  You can press the TAB key to complete the file name."

Lists me a lot of entries, more than a screen, and the "Pause" key does not work to make pause to see them all...

Is there a way to install that firmware on Proxmox 7.x (=Debian 11.x) ???

[dev_intro]

Now i tried it with a USB HDD... same thing... 

[dev_intro]

Problem persists also after a soft reboot - USB HDD is still not visible.

-> The device is not in EFI mode. only in legacy. Is that the reason for that behavior??

[dev_intro]

Here - full proof...
