12-phase walkthrough covering: - Firmware updates via Lifecycle Controller - iDRAC + IPMI over LAN setup (required for fan control) - BIOS settings checklist (VT-x, VT-d, UEFI mode) - H730 RAID1 config for 2.5" OS drives, leaving 3.5" for non-RAID - Proxmox VE 9.1 install and post-install (repo fix, tools, git clone) - Script run order: perc-nonraid → bay-map → gpu-passthrough → fan/spinup - VM creation and Frigate Docker+NVIDIA deployment - Troubleshooting section for common passthrough failures https://claude.ai/code/session_01TxTSnxDjgEVuNztdsWQjMD

Proxmox VE 9.1 configuration, scripts, and VM layouts for a Dell R730xd homelab.
Hardware
- Host: Dell PowerEdge R730xd
- RAID controller: PERC H730 (configured in Non-RAID/per-disk passthrough mode)
- GPUs: 2x Quadro P3300 4GB (VFIO passthrough, one per VM)
- TPU: Google Coral USB (Frigate object detection)
- Bays: 12x (not all populated)
VM Layout
| VM ID | Role | Drives | GPU | Coral |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | Frigate NVR | Bays 1–8 | Quadro #1 (VFIO) | Yes |
| 101 | TBD | Bays 9–10 | Quadro #2 (VFIO) | No |
| 102 | TBD | Bays 11–12 | None | No |
Setup Order
scripts/perc-nonraid.sh— convert H730 to per-disk non-RAID modescripts/build-bay-map.sh— map physical bays to stable/dev/disk/by-idpathsscripts/gpu-passthrough-setup.sh— configure IOMMU + VFIO for both Quadros- Apply VM configs from
vm-configs/ - Deploy Frigate from
