enable multipath at setup time

[nikkolo]

Hi, dear all,
how do i enable multipath support at Proxmox install time? I'd like to install proxmox to multipathed storage, but now i can see only separate pathes to my dedicated for proxmox... Is there any magic key?

did you see this article: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ISCSI_Multipath ?

Yes, i did. It says

The default installation does not include this package, so you first need to install the multipath-tools package:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install multipath-tools
Is it really so? Do i understand it correct and there is no way to install proxmox on multipathed device?
Btw, https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/MultipathSupport says i could be able to enable multipath by setting disk-detect/multipath/enable=true option to the installer prompt... Isnt it the same installer used by proxmox? Feel lost...

no proxmox ve uses its own installer, but you can use the debian installer and install pve on top:

Could be a new feature request :-D

Setup should be fairly easy:
- include multipath tools
- scan also multipath location in /dev/mapper for possible installation targets
