The error message "/dev/sdXX has been excluded by a filter" is potentially very misleading, because it catches all sorts of conditions. Basically any known storage signature on the storage you may recycle (perhaps from a previous attempt) will trigger this. The functionality is more of a feature, it's just the message that could be improved. And then there is simply too many different storage allocation schemes, which LVM tries to recognize all. I have occasionally had to fight hard with dmsetup, because some fluke devmapper signature was still found that lsblk -f, lvs, pvs etc. could not see. I like to use cockpit/storage to test creating volumes before I do another run with the HCI wizard.
