When attempting to add a directly attached disk device to a host disk group, the intended disk does not show among the available devices in disk management. Which action can be used to make the device available?
I agree with answer A as per statement: If you have added a device that contains residual data or partition information, you must remove all preexisting partition information from the device before you can claim it for vSAN use. VMware recommends adding clean devices to disk groups.
A is the correct answer.
Before adding a device that contains residual data or partition information and before you can claim it for vSAN use, you must remove all pre-existing partition information from the device before. VMware recommends adding clean devices to disk groups. When you remove partition information from a device, vSAN deletes the primary partition that includes disk format information and logical partitions from the device.
Taken from vSAN 6.7 Deploy and Manage Lecture Manual - Managing Hardware Storage Devices section
Format means those partitions continue to reside on the HDD.
Delete means all partitions are gone, and the HDD is uninitialized, thus available to add to a disk group.
A looks good : https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.virtualsan.doc/GUID-90CCB01E-DE9C-47DA-9FEF-8B3F107FEA2C.html#GUID-90CCB01E-DE9C-47DA-9FEF-8B3F107FEA2C
