Dell R720 sata SSD boot outside PERC in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Also, should I really go through with trying to boot from outside the PERC or maybe a better solution would be to flash it to IT mode?

Thanks you so much for your time! I'm on version 2.15.10.10, and whrb I try to flash firmware from iDRAC web interface I repeatedly get "upload failed"

Dell R720 sata SSD boot outside PERC (alien.top)
 

Hi guys!
I have a R720 I was going to use with proxmox partly in order to virtualize TrueNAS. For this reason I was thinking of passing the PERC raid controller through to the VM and booting proxmox from another SSD source. is there a good solution for this? if it matters I have the 16 bay front, and no disk slots on the rear. I was thinking of using a PCIE m.2 adatpter but heard that booting from those may not work if even detected.

PS. I am also running into problems with the lifecycle controller when trying to manually update firmware and bios (even if using USB flashdrive and F10) which results in me not being able to use new features of iDRAC such as HTTPS firmware mass updates.

Thanks in advance :)
