      When installing OCP on vSphere using the Agent-Based Installation, it is required to configure the Advanced Parameter for Virtual Machines: 

      disk.enableUUID = True 

      This is mentioned in our docs for the Assisted Installer but not for ABI. One can say, that IPI or Assisted-Installer is for these kind of installations but there are valid uses-cases for Agent-Based installations on vSphere as well.

      The installation experience would be improved, if the installer would run pre-checks if this setting is configured.

      During the installation (--log-level debug) nothing was pointing me to a configuration issue on the virtual hardware. 

      This was the only output:
