When deploying mNode manually via vCenter 6.5 and 6.7, the "Publisher" field of the "Review details" pane indicates that the certificate is invalid. If you use the Flash client, the OVA will be blocked from deploying. You do not have the option to accept the OVA as untrusted and proceed anyway. If you use the HTML5 client, you will not have any issue deploying.

VMware ESXi is responsible for managing the multi-pathing. However installing the DSM inside the Windows guest will not harm anything either. pRDM: Allow the guest operating system to access the hardware directly. vRDM: Allow the virtual machine to use VMware snapshots and other advanced technology.
