Unable to create datastore

Hi there.
I'm having a issue, when trying to create a new datastore.

The local device is listed on ESXI (6.7.0)

After trying to create the datastore, the following error is listed:

As indicated on different posts, I've already attempt the following commands:

[root@localhost:/dev/disks] ls

First try wiping the disk completely. Many tools to do that, but I usually use something like DBAN to do a quick pass of zeros.

check the log files for reason for failure

/var/log, location of all log files

use the tail command to read end of log files
