I have 2 Windows 2012 R2 VMs on esxi6 hosts that are configured per MS and VMware docs. These nodes pass the cluster validation tests completely except for one MPIO warning (MPIO is handled at the physical level by the vmware hosts, so no worries there), but when I attempt to create the cluster directly after, it fails. I'm an admin with full rights to the OU with the nodes. The cluster object gets created, but then is automatically removed when the failed attempt finishes.
Is this a common problem? What is the point of a validation process with several hundred individual checks if it's going to then flat out fail?
