Oracle ASM best practices with parted for disks greater than 2tb

We have recently provisioned a new physical server with ssds. Our plan is to migrated database to this new server.
We are using vmware for creating volumes on vmfs. A new volume of size 3TB has been created.

What are the best practices to create 3tb diskgroup in this case at OS level -
1. Split volume in 3 primary partitions of 1tb each and create a diskgroup composed of 3 disks?
2. Create a single partition with fdisk, but only 2tb is supported as OS level, so reduce volume size(at vmware level) to 2TB?
3. Use parted with gtp (is that supported)

Planned New server configuration -

Howdy, Stranger!
