I need help trying to solve this as I've spent tons of time trying to figure this out but have had no luck. I created a VMWare Workstation test environment and I have been trying to install SQL Cluster on one of my Nodes.
From the looks of it, it looks like it's a storage configuration problem but at this point I have no idea what else I could do and there isn't much online about it. Please look at the log and any input would be appreciated.
