      I might also suggest seeing if the NVMe SSD Disk is setup for Raid or AHCI/SATA. From what I can see, it’s probably being presented in RAID right now.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        @Tom-Elliott @george1421 RAID was on. 😉

        Switched to AHCI and I can now register the computer.

          I have successfully deployed an image to the Optiplex 7040 with the same SSD as yours using UEFI (Secure Boot Disabled).

          FOG Information:
          Running Version 1.3.1-RC-1
          SVN Revision: 6052
          Kernel Version: bzImage Version: 4.9.0

          Host EFI Exit Type: Refined_EFI
          PXE File: ipxe7156.efi

          Image: Windows 10

            It would still be interesting to know what lsblk says with raid mode on (Dell default).

              I find this interesting. Did ipxe7156.efi work for raid mode where ipxe.efi did not?

                @george1421 I’m using ipxe.efi. Haven’t tried anything else at this point.

                  @chrisdecker I’m going to solve the thread as we know Changing the HDD presentation type from RAID to AHCI will allow you to use the system.

                  I agree with @george1421 however and would like to see what lsblk sees when the disk is in RAID mode.

                  That said, I suspect it doesn’t find anything because the RAID utilities aren’t being called to even try to scan anything. That or the way the RAID is presented to the FOS System isn’t even recognized (could be driver based I suppose).

                    @Tom-Elliott IMO: The concern I have is that raid-on is the default for almost all Dell systems uefi or bios. So for every 7040 in uefi mode, the OP or IT tech will need to change the disk support method. This can be automated with Dell’s CCTK its just a pain and will continue to cause FOG support calls.

                    I’ll grab a 7040 from our test lab and see if I can find a consistent answer.

                      I modify the BIOS when the computers come in. One of the settings I change is to switch the SATA operation to AHCI.

                      I switched from ipxe.efi since the Surface Pro 4 would not boot from it.

                      ipxe7156.efi does not work for RAID mode either (just tested it).

                      After my next appointment I will run debug and see if I can get you some additional information on it.

                          @jburleson Well that sure is a WFT kind of picture. It DOES tell us a bit more of what we need. Why so many partitions is interesting.

                          I was just about to grab a 7040 and do the same. I’ll still do that and give me something to play with over the lunch hour.

                              @jburleson Well yes and no.

                              While its using the raid controller its not really a raid setup.

                              What I interesting in the picture is the partition name AND the device major and minor numbers. I don’t think device 43 is currently allowed.

                                @george1421 On my initial test

                                1. Grab a 7040 from inventory and reset bios back to factory and change mode to uefi (raid-on by default). Note system was a functional system in bios mode with a mbr image.
                                2. Schedule a debug deploy task
                                3. lsblk shows no hard drive, period.

                                    @george1421 I had to do real work this afternoon so I had to stop.

                                    But the last thing I did was try to install windows 10 from the recovery disk and the windows 10 installer would not see the nvme disk in uefi mode with raid-on. When I have a bit more time I’ll see if I can boot a ubuntu live dvd and see if that will see that nvme drive.

                                      Here is what I got when I booted Ubuntu 16.04 from USB. I ran through the same commands you ran previously in the thread.

                                      BIOS: UEFI
                                      SATA Operation: RAID

                                      lsblk still does not show the hard drive.

                                      ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsblk

                                        @jburleson Second test. Switch from UEFI to Legacy but left SATA Operation in RAID mode.

                                        Picked up the Samsung controller here as well.

                                          @jburleson This seems to be a known issue or least it has been reported elsewhere.

                                          Here is an ArchLinux post from a year ago about the same issue.
                                          https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=204629

                                          I also found posts on superuser about linux not finding the nvme drive under UEFI with RAID on.

                                          Ultimately the solution was to switch to ACHI.

                                            @jburleson That is about what conclusion I came up with.

                                            I used linux mint. It would not find the hard drive in raid-on mode but would in achi mode. The same held true for windows 10 with in uefi mode. The nearest I can guess is that raid mode and uefi are not happy together.

                                            So at the end of the day if anyone needs to use an nvme disk in uefi mode they MUST switch the disk mode to achi, period.

                                            Thank you for testing in your environment too. I think we have a solid answer, use achi mode if you are running uefi on a Dell 7040.

                                            <edit> FWIW the firmware on this 7040 is 1.4.5 (which I know isn’t the latest).

                                            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!
