I have 4 virtual machines running Windows 2016 with failover clustering.
These are spread across 2 data centers (2 VMs in each data center).
Each pair of VMs has 2 shared 'vhd sets' for Log and Replica Volumes
Cluster is configured and passes checks.
File server role is configured on site A and Proposed Replica Volume is selected.
When I try to replicate the volume with the file server I get the following error when the wizard tries to complete:
* Failed to create replication.
ERROR CODE: 0x80131500:
NATIVE ERROR CODE : 3 .
Invalid namespace
There is now firewall on these servers at the moment and there is also no firewall between the data centers.
wmi seems to be running on the nodes as well.
Cluster passes validation checks with some minor warnings about single network adaptor etc.
