Hyper-V Cluster Networking

There are a few lessons that I have learned while dealing with Hyper-V Clustering. I am gonna focus primarily on networking at the moment.

Most of the documents that I have found out there detail how to create the cluster, how to create an external network etc...

I tried many times, I would get the cluster up, get a network created, but then I could not migration (live or quick) the virtual machines ... Maybe this is covered in the documentation, but I did not read far enough or got too anxious (would not be the first time).

Its possible also that being someone who deals with Hyper-V on a standalone basis quiet frequently I did not see it. The key to making this work, its adjusting the settings to the virtual machine in the Failover Cluster Management console, not in the Hyper-V manager console. Also, watch out for the DVD-Drive mapped to the physical DVD.

If you don't configure the network settings of the client in the failover cluster manager, the migration will fail or you'll get something like invalid configuration in the network settings ...
