I'm deploying a new, self-managed vCenter cluster. I'm trying to set up vCenter HA and it fails every time with the error:
"A general system error occurred: Failed to configure cluster network"
I'm setting up the cluster in accordance with this guide. I'm able to go through the wizard without errors--it lets me select the management/HA network, the datastores, and enter the static IPs of the Active, Witness, and Passive nodes, but once I click finish I get the error.
Both the management and HA networks are distributed port groups on distributed virtual switches.
I looked at vpxd.log and these are the errors thrown:

I can't find a single instance of this error anywhere on Google so I don't know what's causing it to fail.
Any help is appreciated.
