Hi,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 onto an already configured and validated windows failover cluster (server 2012) but the process is hanging after installing the setup files.
The last entry in the log is:
running discovery on remote machine
and i've left it hanging like this for 4 hours and nothing happens.
Can anyone advise how this discovery to done to help me troubleshoot?
Thanks.

Yes the report was clean.
I can confirm that the problem here was that with Windows Server 2012 R2, administrative shares are disbaled by default and these are required during the discovery process.
I had to enable admin shares and then the process completed successfully.
