Hi, I'm looking to make partitions on my SMR host managed seagate disk. is this working on my drive ?

GPT partitions are not supported in Linux with SMR host managed drives, irrespective of the device vendor. If you need a "smaller" chunk of the drive to be exposed as a block device, use dm-linear. See: https://zonedstorage.io/linux/part/ and https://zonedstorage.io/linux/dm/#dm-linear.
