+# Format 250GB SSDs and Check Proxmox Recognition
+
+**Date**: 2025-12-13  
+**Purpose**: Format the 6x 250GB SSDs and verify Proxmox can see them
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+On R630-01:
+
+```bash
+# Copy script
+scp scripts/format-ssds-and-check-proxmox.sh root@192.168.11.11:/tmp/
+
+# SSH and run
+ssh root@192.168.11.11
+bash /tmp/format-ssds-and-check-proxmox.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## What the Script Does
+
+1. **Checks current drive status** - Shows what's on each drive
+2. **Formats drives** - Creates GPT partition table on each
+3. **Creates partitions** - Single partition on each drive (unformatted)
+4. **Checks block devices** - Shows what the system sees
+5. **Checks Proxmox storage** - Shows Proxmox's view
+6. **Provides summary** - What to check next
+
+---
+
+## Manual Method
+
+If you prefer to do it manually:
+
+```bash
+# For each drive (sdc, sdd, sde, sdf, sdg, sdh)
+for drive in sdc sdd sde sdf sdg sdh; do
+    # Unmount any partitions
+    umount /dev/${drive}* 2>/dev/null || true
+    
+    # Create GPT partition table
+    parted -s /dev/$drive mklabel gpt
+    
+    # Create single partition
+    parted -s /dev/$drive mkpart primary 0% 100%
+    
+    # Re-read partition table
+    partprobe /dev/$drive
+done
+
+# Check results
+lsblk
+pvesm status
+```
+
+---
+
+## Check in Proxmox Web UI
+
+1. **Login**: https://192.168.11.11:8006
+2. **Navigate**: Datacenter > Storage
+3. **Click**: "Add" button
+4. **Check**: Available disks should be listed
+
+---
+
+## Expected Results
+
+### After Formatting
+
+Each drive should show:
+- GPT partition table
+- One partition (unformatted)
+- Visible to `lsblk`
+- Potentially visible to Proxmox storage manager
+
+### What Proxmox Should See
+
+- 6x drives around 250GB
+- Available for storage creation
+- Can be used for:
+  - Directory storage
+  - LVM storage
+  - Ceph OSD (after further setup)
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps After Formatting
+
+Once Proxmox recognizes the drives:
+
+1. **Option 1: Use for Ceph OSDs**
+   - Create OSDs on formatted drives
+   - Add to Ceph cluster
+
+2. **Option 2: Use as Proxmox Storage**
+   - Add as Directory storage
+   - Add as LVM storage
+   - Use for VM disks
+
+3. **Option 3: Leave for Later**
+   - Drives are ready
+   - Can be configured when needed
+
+---
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check block devices
+lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT,FSTYPE
+
+# Check Proxmox storage
+pvesm status
+
+# Check partitions
+fdisk -l | grep -E "^Disk /dev/sd[c-h]"
+
+# Check if Proxmox can see them
+pvesm scan local
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+### Current State
+- 6x 250GB SSDs wiped
+- Need to format and check Proxmox recognition
+
+### Action
+- Format drives with GPT partition tables
+- Check if Proxmox recognizes them
+
+### Expected Result
+- Drives formatted and visible
+- Proxmox can see them
+- Ready for storage configuration
