[PVE-User] preseeding PVE installation

[Vadim Bulst]

Hi Emmanuel,

thanks for your quick response. I got 3 Dell PowerEdge with a PERC H330 
Mini Raid-Controller, disk 0 and 1 SAS 500GB for system , disk 2 - 6 
SATA 4TB for Ceph-OSDs and one SSD. This raid-controller is now in hba 
mode to serve Ceph. Any suggestions for our setup?

Cheers,

Vadim
