To zero out the Disk please run this command
dd if=/dev/zero of="/vmfs/devices/disks/DeviceName" bs=512 count=34 conv=notrunc
Thank you very much!
I ran into this same problem. Deleting and re-creating the array and Logical drives on the HP controller wouldn't do the trick. I ended up pulling out the disks, sticking them it into a windows machine, initializing them, creating a partition on them, deleting that partition and then putting them back into the server where I then once again created the array and logical drives. That did the trick.
Here is the full error message so others can find this thread easier.

The preceding information will assist the vmware support team with
your problem. Please record this information before proceeding.
I had the same problem and I started the server with an ubuntu and I did the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=“/dev/sda” bs=512 count=34 conv=notrunc
Because in my case the problem disk was sda.
The Zeroed was really fast, It took only 5 seconds.
Ran into this on a HP Proliant server today. The fix was to set the array to bootable in the HP array manager. Another reason we buy Dells. :smileyangry:
