Hi.

I have OmniOS installed on my Lenovo Thinkcentre M710q Tiny. I have used a usb3 drive as install media, but I wasn't able to boot from it as the bootloader panicked (not found rootdisk or similar), so I had to connect the install drive via a USB2 hub.

I have installed OmniOS onto the internal NVME SSD, so now it boots just fine, however the issue with the USB ports are not yet over.

I've bought a cheap dual-NVME USB enclosure to extend the available space for some non important stuff. The enclosure similar to this: m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71M0hkwNngL._AC_SX679_.jpg

It is basically 2 NVME enclosure, molded together, there is no logical connection between the 2 drive. They conencted with separate USB cables to the host.

If I attach the enclosure with the 2 cable to the machine while it is powered off, it will not recognize them during the boot. If I attach it while the OS is running it will be detected and can be used.

I have updated the firmware fo the enclosure, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I suspect the real issue buried somewhere in the USB3 support in OmniOS/Illumos, as the enclosure was detected just fine using other operating systems.

Can you give me any hint?
