      Previously, when installing a cluster on VMWare vSphere, the installation could fail if the user specified a user-defined folder in the `failureDomain` section of the `install-config.yaml` file. With this update, the installation program correctly validates user-defined folders in the `failureDomain` section of the `install-config.yaml` file. (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-3343[*OCPBUGS-3343*])

      Based on explanation of field folder, looks like folder name should be ok. If it is not allowed to use folder name, need to validate the folder and update explain.

       

      sh-4.4$ ./openshift-install explain installconfig.platform.vsphere.failureDomains.topology.folder
      KIND:     InstallConfig
      VERSION:  v1RESOURCE: <string>
        folder is the name or inventory path of the folder in which the virtual machine is created/located.
