Error creating pool

[Bane]

I have a LSI 9207 SAS Controller in IT mode with 5 HGST 8 TB drives attached to my freenas and I get an error when trying to create a pool. When I try to wipe each disk from the Disks menu, I get a similar error.

The below is what is displayed:

EFAULT] Failed to wipe disk da2: [EFAULT] Command gpart create -s gpt /dev/da2 failed (code 1): gpart: Device not configured

If I expand out the error I get:

Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

Please help,

Thanks,

I was able to fix this issue. After tons of googleing, I found that I needed to use sg_format /f to format each drive back to HGST's factory format.

This article actually had the solution:
