  • Clearing disks before adding them to S2D
  • Perform failover cluster validation before creating the cluster
  • Create the failover cluster
  • Delegate OU to Active Directory computer object

Deployment fails with one of the following errors (one of them):

  • FATAL: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: powershell_script[validate test-cluster results]

Solution

You can generate a failover cluster validation by yourself with the following command:

Test-Cluster -Node "<node01_ip>","<node02_ip>" -Include "Storage Spaces Direct","Inventory","Network","System Configuration"

After fixing the error, please resume the deployment. If the error persists, please contact Flexxible IT support.
