Good morning, have you verified that there are no partitions on the disks?  http://www.vladan.fr/how-to-delete-partitions-to-prepare-disks-for-vsan/

We had drives new from the factory that had to be wiped.  Thank you, Zach.

Yes, there were windows and linux partitions on the drives. I've deleted them, rebooted hosts and voila!
