Quick one today:
Earlier in the lab, during set of a new ESXi host, we ran into this cryptic error.

"HostStorageSystem.ComputeDiskPartitionInfo" for object "storageSystem" on ESXi "<ip address>" failed |
Looks like ESXi host, was not able to correctly wipe the disk. So, we need to manually delete the partition to make it available for ESXi host. The following steps worked for us:
Step 1: Make sure SSH access is enabled on the ESXi host.’
Step 2: Connect to ESXi host using putty.
Putty to connect to ESXi host through SSH
Step 3: Enter root and password to log in.
Login using Putty
Step 4: Enter the command esxcfg-scsidevs -l to list the name of the disk that you want to wipe.

After running this command successfully, you could not go back to vSphere Client and recreate data store.
