First try, first failure :-(

This is the infrastructure:

Fujitsu BX900 blade enclosure with two BX924 diskless blades dedicated to proxmox. The blade enclosure is connected to two different FC fabrics connected to an Eternus DX 90 S2 storage.

The storage exports 4 different LUNS:

Blade 1:

Lun0: Boot (10 Giga)
Lun1: Repository 1 (6 TB)
Lun2: Repository 2 (6 TB)

Blade 2:

Lun0: Boot (10 Giga)
Lun1: Repository 1 (6 TB) (LUN shared with Blade 1)
Lun2: Repository 2 (6 TB) (Lun shared with Blade 1)

I configured the FC HBA to boot from Lun0.

So I tried to boot from CD-ROM but at first I saw a ton of disk (I've four full redundant path, so I see 12 disk on every blades). I think you need to insert multipath tool directly on the CD-ROM and permit to launch them from the installer as you can do in Debian or Red Hat.

I tried to install directly on /dev/sda trying to tweak the devices once I'll install the multipath tool...

But I received an error, the installare is not able to isntalla Grub on the /Dev/sda.

Any hint?
