Server 2012 R2 And Hypervisor Issues

$

Im having some issues and Supermicro customer support is not being very helpful. Anyone have any thoughts on this.

 Please see below:

I have a SC846e1:

MB: X8DTE-F

PR: x5660 (2)

Mem: 32gig Samsung EEC 1333

Raid: adaptec 6805 (slot 4)

OS:Samsung 850pro SSD (2) (direct to the raid card, raid 1)
Files: HGST 3tb NAS (6) (enhanced JBOD) (using StableBit BD to pool)

 I am trying to enable Hyper-V on a new build with Server 2012r2. I have added the role and it caused a boot loop which I found to be due to having "execute-disable bit capability" enabled. I disabled this and it booted up but hypervisor will not start and states that virtualization  andexecute-disable must be turned on.

I have reset the bios to "optimal defaults" and have only changed: (did a complete power off to validate change)

  • numlock: disabled
  • execute-disabled: disabled (due to boot loop)
  • IPMI: configured

 

There is also a mention in the error for hypervisor not starting that states thatvt-d and trusted execution must be disabled.

VT-D: is confirmed to be disabled

 Trusted execution: cannot be found which i believe is TPM which is not showing up in he bios and while looking at the manual and board can only find a TPM header but no jumper to disable it as per the instructions in the manual. (Manual states to disable TPM with a jumper)

 Is TPM what is causing my issue? and causing the boot loop when execute-disabled enabled?

 Also checked boot loader and hypervisorlaunchtype: Auto

 Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated

 

Long Story short....I have reformatted and reinstalled with no changes before implementing the role. once the role is implemented and then rebooted it goes into a boot loop that can only be stopped is when BITS is disabled. Supermicro has no idea why it would be having a boot loop and the VT-D should be enabled. Ive tried it both ways with no effect.
