You partition, format & mount the second HDD and add it as a storage type "dir" in UI (in "Datacenter" section, "Storage tab")

Why I can not do this with UI ?
It was better I can do this during installation .
I need advance installation for Proxmox.
Can I install Debian 8 .and after that install some packages . make my Debian like Proxmox.

Hi,
about installing pve on jessie 8 see here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Jessie

But I would not recommend this for you! If you struggle with an second hdd, you should realy realy stay with the standard installer!

Because of the second hdd use the cli (read an good linux book - it's pure linux and has nothing to do with pve) and take a look here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model

Thanks ,
I think I have to boot system with gparted .and partition second HDD and edit fstab.
But I do not why fdisk can not detect second HDD?

Hi,
are your bios-config correct?

How are your disk named?
do an
Code: 
pvs
to see the device from the pve-VG.

How looks the output of
Code: 
[CODE]dmesg | grep SCSI
[/code]

My bios config is correct , during installation , installer can detect my second HDD and I have two HDD , for installation I choose first HDD.
when I run pvs command I see
Code: 
PV                VG   Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree  /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 pve  lvm2 a--  68.21g 8.50g
and when I run this command
Code: 
dmesg | grep SCSI
I see
Code:

You still didn't show us the whole fdisk -l output. Your two drives should be there but they are missing.

excellent.

fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d1
t

w

...

Code: 
mkfs.ext4 /dev/cciss/c0d1p1

edit /etc/fstab and add at the end of the file
Code: 
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 /data ext4 defaults 0 0

then

Code: 
mkdir /data
Code: 
mount /data

In Proxmox UI (I told you above where: Datacenter/Storage) add a new storage type "dir" in folder /data and check whatever you want to hold in it (CT, VM, ISO and so on)

Done.
