adding hard drives

[mathewb]

Hi there I am trying to add hard drives to my proxmox server
I am using
cd /dev/disk/by-id
ls
cfdisk /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD10EZEX-08WN4A0_WD-WCC6Y0AHZSCZ
new
wright
pvcreate /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD10EZEX-08WN4A0_WD-WCC6Y0AHZSCZ-part1
but then I then get
/dev/sdd: open failed: No medium found
/dev/sde: open failed: No medium found
/dev/sdf: open failed: No medium found
/dev/sdg: open failed: No medium found
Can't initialize physical volume "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD10EZEX-08WN4A0_WD-WCC6Y0AHZSCZ-part1" of volume group "pve" without -ff
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD10EZEX-08WN4A0_WD-WCC6Y0AHZSCZ-part1: physical volume not initialized.
How do I fix this

Have you tried adding the argument -ff that was mentioned by the error message? What is the output of the following?
