ProxMox 3.4 on Blade HP C7000 with fiber Storage

[GeorgeDebian]

Hi,
I have HP Blade system C7000 with 16 bays(every bay has 8RAM and 2x Quad core CPU , 1x hdd 72G 10k)
In the first two bays i have raid controler , Those bays are connected via optical fiber with a storage (14xHDD10k- 2x fiber output A nad B output)

At bays 3-15 i run ProxMox 3.4. (zfs raid 0)

I have 2 questions:

1)What OS i shall use at the first 2 bays so that the other bays(3-16 with ProxMox) would recognise them as storage..?

2)should i do cluster or HA or ceph.. Do you have a good setup to recoment??

due to the countless ways to use your hardware and you failed to describe what do you want to achieve and run on your cluster, its impossible to tell what you should do.

that's probably also the reason why no one answered, you posting is just too general.

Ok, here is my hardware: I have an HP BLC7000 C7000 Blade Center with 16 x HP Proliant BL460C bays (2 x Xeon QUAD CORE E5320 1.8GHz / 8GB RAM). Also i have an HP storage M5314B(14 x500GB SAS hdd). Two of the 16 servers are connected to the HP storage M5314B by fiber channel with QLogic Corp. ISP2432-based 4Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express HBA (rev03). My requirements are: 1)a vm file server (with 5TB data) 2)a vm windows server (domain controller,terminal server, ms sql server) 3)2x vm's windows 8.1, 2x vm's windows 7 4)3x vm's linux servers 5)data redaduncy and failover 6)HA 7)data backup 8)live migration of vm's 9)vm export-import 10)software raid (raid 6) with zfs?? Can i achive all that with proxmox? If yes, which is the best configuration to do that? And i wonder if it is possible to merge some or all (16) of the blade servers under one installation of proxmox. Thanks
