I tried to install in /dev/sda (which had RHEL installed before). I went to rescue mode and deleted all the VGs and tried and still failed. 
I am able to install in other disks. 
Quick observation- it is not installing in 4K disk

>From the installation logs, we see that there has been installation failure due to the 4K sector size.
