file cluster on 2012
Hi,
Could you please advise on this;
I'm setting up two 2012 OS 5-node cluster called cluster1 and cluster2 running on Vmware will serving file shares
in Failover cluster console, how many NICs do I need on both cluster nodes for heartbeat? ( I think one on each node?)
how many private or hearbeat network do I need for both clusters? DO I need spreated private LAN for each cluster or 1 for both?
Please provide step by step insructions if you can. thank

Andrew, do you mean one heartbeat network for each cluster? Both clusters should be aware of each other's presence. Could you expand on this please and appriciate it if you can provide steps please?
thanks
thanks

thank you for easy and clear notes.
You should have 1 private network for each cluster.
