This is Part 2 of installing SCVMM 2012 SP1 on virtual cluster and on Hyper-v Cluster hosts.
Part 1 can be found from here
Let’s review what we have installed.
We have installed File server which provides Quorum disks. We have created AD components and two VMM virtual servers.
We have installed Failover features on VMM servers and all other prerequisites.
Let’s start the Part 2 with Create a Cluster on VMM servers.
Start Failover manager and Validate a cluster first (if you don’t do this step, the creation wizard will also do it)

Now, with any clusters, a heartbeat network is required. Since our VMMs will sit on same Hyper-v Host, so what I need is to build a new Virtual Switch called Heartbeat.
Notice:
If you want to join these two Hyper-v hosts in the future, you must have EXACTLY same virtual network settings on both Hyper-v hosts. Therefore, a internal switch or private switch is NO NO for cluster. You have to build External switches with same name on both Hyper-v Hosts.

Once this is done, add a new virtual Nic on VMM and connect to heartbeat switch.

You also make sure you have create DNS A records for this cluster and also VMM app cluster.
