Unable to add second node - 8.2 cDOT - ESXi 5.1

I am having problems adding a second node to my virtual cluster. The first node started up fine and I ran through the cluster create script. I've got the first two vNICs on a separate vSwitch as they are the cluster interfaces. Here's what happens on booting of the second node:

 

1: Join or create? join

2: Are these the IPs you want (169.254.*)? yes

3: Enter the name of the cluster: [ClusterName] <enter>

4: Joining cluster …

5: Network set up …

6: Node check …

7: Restarting Cluster Setup …

8: Revert to step #1

 

When I try to ping the two IPs presented in step 2 from Node 1 I am able, so the networking is setup properly but the second node won't join. Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
