You can try to install plain debian and then install PVE on top of it:

Move you disk to another machine, install there and move disk back.

You can also attach the disk via SATA2USB on another PVE box and install there. I do that all the time on machines that do have a graphical output or other limitations.

Hi,
As suggested, For evaluation purpose I am using HP desktop with i3 first gen 12 GB RAM. Trying to install debian but on partition page, it always stuck. Any Idia or hint?

I am going to suggest one of the clients use proxmox and not Ovirt if I try to success on it. Please, someone, help me.
