Daniel, as per the release notes of your hardware
http://h20565.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5193139&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=54
an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is
available (2016.03.07). When you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does this improve the
situation?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.

If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  kernel 4.4.0-21.37-generic in 16.04 sees no disks on HP ProLiant
  BL465c Gen8  if IOMMU is enabled

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When trying to install 16.04 LTS on a BL465c Gen8, the default kernel
  4.4.0-21.37-generic does not detect the disks with IOMMU enabled.

  Using the HP iLO Cli, shows that the server have some hardware error:

  enclosure68-a> show server status 4

                  Mezzanine Card                           OK

  This device failure in the blade is OK after a reboot.

  Disabling IOMMU on BIOS and the 16.04 installation goes successfully. 
  I tried to enable IOMMU after the installation and the problem appears. The disk is not detected and it can't boot normally.
  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS boots and run fine on these machines.

  dmesg ouput with IOMMU enabled.
