## Current Status

### ✅ All 6x 250GB SSDs Detected

| Drive | Size | Model | Partition | Status |
|-------|------|-------|-----------|--------|
| **sdc** | 232.9G | CT250MX500SSD1 | sdc1 (232.9G) | ✅ Ready |
| **sdd** | 232.9G | CT250MX500SSD1 | sdd1 (232.9G) | ✅ Ready |
| **sde** | 232.9G | CT250MX500SSD1 | sde1 (232.9G) | ✅ Ready |
| **sdf** | 232.9G | CT250MX500SSD1 | sdf1 (232.9G) | ✅ Ready |
| **sdg** | 232.9G | CT250MX500SSD1 | sdg1 (232.9G) | ✅ Ready |
| **sdh** | 232.9G | CT250MX500SSD1 | sdh1 (232.9G) | ✅ Ready |

### Key Observations

- ✅ **All drives visible** to the system
- ✅ **Partitions created** (sdc1, sdd1, etc.)
- ✅ **No filesystem** (FSTYPE empty) - clean and ready
- ✅ **Not mounted** - available for use
- ✅ **Proxmox can see them** - ready for storage configuration

## Proxmox Storage Status

Current storage pools:
- **ceph-fs**: inactive (mount error - needs fixing)
- **ceph-rbd**: inactive
- **local**: active (81.5 GB)
- **local-lvm**: active (179.6 GB)

---

## Next Steps

### Option 1: Create Ceph OSDs (Recommended)

Use these drives for Ceph OSDs to fix the TOO_FEW_OSDS error:

```bash
# Remove partitions first (Ceph needs raw devices)
for drive in sdc sdd sde sdf sdg sdh; do
    wipefs -a /dev/$drive
    ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/$drive
done
```

### Option 2: Add as Proxmox Storage

Add them as Directory or LVM storage in Proxmox:

1. **Via Web UI**: Datacenter > Storage > Add
2. **Via CLI**: Use `pvesm` commands

### Option 3: Use for Ceph OSD (One at a Time)

Start with one drive to fix the immediate issue:

```bash
# Use sdc for third OSD
wipefs -a /dev/sdc
ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/sdc

# Verify
ceph osd tree
ceph health
```

## Summary

### Current State
- ✅ 6x 250GB SSDs formatted and visible
- ✅ Partitions created (ready for use)
- ✅ No filesystem (clean slate)
- ✅ Proxmox can see them

### Ready For
- ✅ Ceph OSD creation
- ✅ Proxmox storage configuration
- ✅ Any storage use case

### Next Action
Choose how to use the drives:
1. **Ceph OSDs** (fixes TOO_FEW_OSDS error)
2. **Proxmox storage** (for VMs)
3. **Both** (some for Ceph, some for storage)
