WAC vMode fails validating SMB

Hi, I would test this from the Windows Admin Center gateway itself, not only from an admin workstation. Run `Test-NetConnection <each-node-FQDN> -Port 445` for every cluster node and the cluster name, then verify forward and reverse DNS. Also confirm the Server service is running and that SMB traffic is not being filtered by endpoint security, IPsec, or a network ACL; turning off Windows Firewall would not rule those out. Because your storage is FC SAN, the validator may still be applying an SMB prerequisite intended for another vMode path. If all port tests pass, collect the WAC gateway logs and cluster validation report and raise it as a possible validation defect.
