Added a new drive to esxi, does not see the storage. How to fix?

There is a server on the esxi 5.1 hypervisor.
I decided to add one more datastore past the raid, for my needs.
The motherboard sees the drive. I go through the paths to esxi in /dev/disks
and see only my array

Just got a new disc.
Maybe you need to connect it to the win machine and format it at least once?
PS: I connected the disk via sata to 1TB
