In Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), the VM’s show up as "Unsupported cluster configuration".
The following didn't help:
Working Through an Unsupported Cluster Configuration Scenario in Virtual Machine Manager

The following WMI query
gwmi -Namespace root/microsoft/windows/storage -class MSFT_PhysicalDisk
would return a blank value.
gwmi -class Win32_diskdrive
would return a value.
So it was specific to the Namespace root/microsoft/windows/storage and class MSFT_PhysicalDisk.
WMI repository was fine.
WMI-activity debug logging didn't show anything, because it handed off the COM call to the other process.
A debug by Michael Sadoff (WinDbg) showed that it was querying a "Storage service".
Cause:
"Microsoft Storage Spaces SMP" service was set to disabled.
Note: SMP == Storage Management Provider.
Solution:
The "Microsoft Storage Spaces SMP" service should be set to Manual and started. (The default value).
Moral of the story:
One more reason to be careful about what services to disable.
