    I suspect theres a deeper issue here. You dont want to be using dynamic disks, these are only designed for use when you want to crete a software raid through windows.

    I have 2 windows 2012 vms under esx5.1 with sql server 2012 installed without issue.

    How did you format the drive, what settings, before using it?

    I use the exact same configuration as you. I'm formatting the drives with 64 bit cluster sizes. We have eager zero'ed the disks. I've tried both a long and quick format. The disks are vDisks not RDM.

    any more ideas?
