Setup:
Motherboard: Asus P8B-WS
OS Drive: 240GB OCZ Agility 3
Raid Controller: 3ware 9690SA-8i
HDDs: 6x Hitachi 3TB (in RAID10)

I have successfully installed the driver for the controller, and both the controller and disk show up in vSphere under Storage Adapters

But for some reason dosent show up in /vmfs/devices/disks as 'vmhba1:C0:T0:L0' as shown in the above screen shots (But showing up as naa.600050e0ead61c00e77e000008a10000)

In dmesg I get the following
Code: 
2013-01-07T20:17:38.740Z cpu5:7840)Partition: 420: Missing prot MBR label for "naa.600050e0ead61c00e77e000008a10000"

If I try to add storage I get the following error

Code: 
Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" for object "datastoreSystem-28" on vCenter Server "vCentre" failed.

Assuming I need to create a MBR but not too sure if thats even possible in ESXi
How do I resolve this? Kind of hitting the limit of my knowledge here
