I just received word from Dell that they are going to swap the FlexBay Carriers out for standard PCIe adapters (similar model to the adapters in the Precision 5810s) that should hopefully work without issues.
I would like to provide as much information as I can before I have to ship them out, so please let me know what other logs/data/tests we may need to work out the issue. I’m sure these drives will become more prevalent in the near future and would like to help as much as I can. Not to mention I have another 40 system lab to refresh next summer, and I would love to have a solution if they wind up with this same drive configuration.

EDIT: This was from a Fedora 27 Live CD.
I think the very last entry is what we are looking for.

Due to the network configuration I have to use a custom iPXE rom, the 3.8G /dev/sdb that shows up is the USB drive with the iPXE bootloader

RE: Dell Precision Tower 5820 - FlexBay MiniSAS PCIe NVMe SSD not recognized
We actually use Legacy mode. We have found it to be much easier to manage, especially with our dual-boot images (W10 + Fedora 27).
Switching to “AHCI” is one of our first changes before attempting to push an image. We also enable Legacy option ROMs and set the boot sequence to Legacy.
We are able to image the Hynix drives in the new 5820 systems after removing the M.2 from the 5820 FlexBay port and installing it in a 5810 PCIe adapter. This makes us think the hickup is related to the pxe/tftpboot/bzImage process detecting the drive due to some difference introduced by the MiniSAS/backplane.
Our typical BIOS changes:
Enable Legacy Option ROMs
Set boot option to Legacy
SATA Operation = AHCI
Disable Intel VMD Technology
TPM off
Secure Boot Disabled -
RE: Dell Precision Tower 5820 - FlexBay MiniSAS PCIe NVMe SSD not recognized
Hey george,
We do not have raid on the FOG server storage, and as far as I can tell the 5820s do not either. I have tried [CTRL] + I during boot and nothing comes up. Also, in BIOS the only raid options I see pertain to SATA drives (also disabled), while the NVMe drive shows up under “PCIE Drives” > “MiniSAS PCIe SSD-0”.
Let me know what data you need and I will get it up.

Dell Precision Tower 5820 - FlexBay MiniSAS PCIe NVMe SSD not recognized
First, I apologize if this is a duplicate thread. I have searched for days and not found anything that resembles our current issue. We have been using FOG for several years to image approximately 100 computers in 5 different labs. Up to this point we have not encountered any major problems that we could not find a documented solution for.
Our most recent refresh presented us with Dell’s Flex Bay MiniSAS PCIe NVME SSDs. Fog does not recognize the drives when in the Flex Bay MiniSAS adapter, however when we swap the M.2 SSDs over to a standard PCIe adapter, Fog has no issues recognizing the drives. We are running FOG Version 1.5.4 and have tried the default Kernel and updated Kernels 4.17.0-addbnx 64 and 4.17.0 64 with no luck.
We have also attempted booting using Clonezilla Live 2.5.5-38, and received error: “nvme nvme0n: failed to set APST feature (-19)”. Per This Bug, we have tested several values for “nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=” with no luck. The only unix bootable ISO that has successfully detected the drive is Fedora 27 live CD.
We are contemplating dissecting the Fedora Kernel and Grub patches to build a custom bzImage, but wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone had alternate suggestions first.
