ESXiでdatastoreが作れない

ESXi 5.0、4.1共に同様のエラーが発生してdatastoreが作成できない現象に遭遇。
ESXiを起動しているディスクではなく、datastore用に追加でHDDを繋げたのですが、以下画面のエラーが出てdatastoreの作成が出来ない。

ESXi「192.168.xx.xx」で オブジェクト「ha-datastoresystem」の「HostDatastoreSystem.CreateVmfsDatastore」 の呼び出しが失敗しました。

調べてみたら、GUIDパーティションテーブルを利用しているディスクだと失敗する模様。
別端末に接続し、MBRパーティション形式に変更しても同様のエラーが発生。
ログを見る限り、やはりパーティションテーブルの問題の様で、パーティションテーブルをddで丸ごと強制的にzeroで上書きしないと認識してくれませんでした。

エラーが出ていた際のESXiのログは以下。
