I don't know whether I can be of any help, but I can ask a few questions.

You wrote "The machine doesn't seem to use EFI (like most server)"

You really need to know. What does /sys/firmware/ contain, in particular,
/sys/firmware/efi… ?

  "and I only see the following partition using the automatic installer."

Did you mean disk, rather than partition? What's in /sys/block/ ?

You wrote 'The "standard" installation give me one partition in RAID
mirror ( 3 x 2 To). So I get only a big root partition and nothing else....'

Does that mean that the partitioning was done on your behalf?
"I do my partition. I make the filesystem." seems to contradict that.
Do you know what the 3rd and 4th partitions are intended for?

  "But I get a bit lost when it's time to use grub to setup my machine by remote."

Did the "standard" installation give you any hints about setting up
booting on the machine, or is that why standard is in scare quotes.
(Or is it unusual for a standard install method to make any mention
of such important matters.)

Cheers,
David.
