Planning the virtual network configuration

Before you install the Failover Manager on the network, plan the virtual network configuration, including
the following areas:
• Design and configuration of the virtual switches and network adapters.
• Failover Manager directory, host name, and IP address.
• The Failover Manager should be on the iSCSI network. If you do not have an existing virtual ma-
chine network configured on the iSCSI network/vswitch, create a new virtual machine network
for the Failover Manager.
