[[https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/680801/pvcreate-cant-use-dev-sda-device-is-partitioned|pvcreate: Can't use /dev/sda: device is partitioned]]

Upon my first attempt, ''pvcreate -ff /dev/vdh'' did not work for me, whether or not the disk contains a partition.
<code>
''pvcreate -ff /dev/vdh
Cannot use /dev/vdh: device is partitioned
''

</code>
I had to use ''wipefs'' first to get rid of all metadata.
<code>''root@nextcloud:~ # wipefs --all --backup /dev/vdh
/dev/vdh : 8 bytes were erased at index 0x00000200 (gpt) : 45 46 49 20 50 41 52 54
/dev/vdh : 8 bytes were erased at index 0x9c3fffffe00 (gpt) : 45 46 49 20 50 41 52 54
/dev/vdh : bytes were erased at index 0x000001fe (PMBR) : 55 aa
/dev/vdh : ioctl call to reread partition table: Success''
