On an HPE ProLiant/Synergy Gen12 Intel-Based server platform, when using OneView to configure a Server Profile, the following message may be displayed:"Unable to find a hard drive boot source for server"This occurs because the UEFI firmware includes a setting called "Filter Non-bootable Drives." For Gen12, the setting has two options:Enabled—The system will not create boot options for fixed drives that are not bootable.Disabled—The system will create boot options for each fixed drives even if these are not bootable.By default, the setting for Gen12 is "Enable," meaning non-bootable drives are filtered out, and UEFI will not create boot options for them. As a result, any server profile configured with a non-bootable drive will fail.For Gen11 systems, this setting includes an additional option, making three options in total:Auto—When the number of boot options becomes excessive, the system will not create boot options for fixed drives that are not bootable.Enabled—The system will not create boot options for fixed drives that are not bootable.Disabled—The system will create boot options for each fixed drives even if these are not bootable.The default setting for Gen11 is "Auto," which allows UEFI to create boot options for non-bootable drives. As a result, Gen11 systems do not experience the same issue seen in Gen12 systems.
Any HPE ProLiant/Synergy Gen12 Intel-Based Servers.
