The datastore is recognized but appears as "inactive/unmounted". To workaround that, I've tried to create the datastore with ESXi 6, and plugged it into an ESXi 5.5 host.

You can also calculate the endsector with the following command: ~ # eval expr $(partedUtil getptbl /dev/disks/mpx.vmhba36\:C0\:T0\:L0 | tail -1 | awk '') - 1 The end sector can be calculated with the following formula (Use the numbers from getptbl): ~ # partedUtil getptbl /dev/disks/mpx.vmhba36\:C0\:T0\:L0
