- Do you give your Network Adapters meaningful names?
- Do you have the iSCSI and Cluster networks on their own VLAN (or even better their own switch)?
- Do you have your cluster network on a separate Active Directory domain?
- Do you know how to specify a Network for Live Migration?
- Do you only use your nodes for Virtual Machine Management?
- Do you use a Microsoft supported network setup for Hyper-V Clustering?
- Do you use group policy to apply settings to all of your cluster nodes?
- Do you update your network cards to the latest driver?
- Do you first get your Cluster and SAN going?
