Crawfca,

Here is what you will need to do; XXX and ZZZ will be information specific to your systems

Use putty to print out partitions on local storage and delete partitions

Print partition table:

/dev/disks # partedUtil getptbl "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

msdos

XXXXX XXX XX XXXXXXXXX

1 ZZZZZ partition identifier

2 ZZZZZpartition identifier

After that to delete -

/dev/disks # partedUtil delete "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" 1

/dev/disks # partedUtil delete "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" 2

Print partition table after delete:

/dev/disks # partedUtil getptbl "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

msdos

XXXXX XXX XX XXXXXXXXX

---

Once the partitions were deleted use the gui to add local storage and format as vmfs

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks Chris, I was having the same problem and your fix worked.
