I may have found a work around :

The OpenVZ installation guide states that some ssd may not be auto detectable by the installer : https://docs.openvz.org/openvz_installation_guide.pdf
and that one can force detection of SSDs (2.1.2. Enabling Forced Detection of SSDs)

Adding "ssd_hack=sda" to the linux line (Press E just after boot when prompted for "Install OpenVZ"), I have been able to check the "cache" radio button next to sda and manually configure the partitioning

Ex : linux /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=openvz-iso-7.0.0-3469.iso quiet ip=dhcp ssd_hack=sdb,sdc
