Problem:
When trying to install ESXi on a new UCS M5 Blade I got the following error
partedUtil failed with message : Error: Can’t have a partition outside the disk!

Resolution
You will need to format the disks – in my case SD cards.
Go to the Blade -> Inventory -> Local Storage -> Select Flex Flash Controller -> Format SD Cards.
