Problem with adding disc to esxi 5.5 as storage

Hi there,

I want to add a different storage capacity along with the two storage that I created at esxi

But when I create VMS, I encounter the following error message

Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" for the object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESX "192.168.0.2" failed

There are currently two storage compartments with the following capacities and no problem

On a Raid controller, a 956-gigabyte storage capacity of 8 hard drive 146 GB

On the Raid controller, a 838GB of storage is made up of 4 hard drive 300 gigabytes.

On the same Raid controller capacity 410 gigabyte  made up of four 146 GB hard drives, but when making VMS, the above error

Guides What can be the cause of this problem? And how can I fix it.

Hello pardazandeh​,

This usually indicates that there is an existing partition on the device(s) - if you are 100% sure you don't need whatever was on these before then consider removing the existing partitions:
