HOTSPOT
A company has a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V environment that contains a single Active Directory Domain Services domain named Contoso.com. The environment also has three servers named Host1, Host2, and Host3 that have the Hyper-V role installed. You configure all of the hosts as a single failover cluster. You have two guest clusters named VM-Cluster1 and VM-Cluster2. The environment is configured as shown in the following diagram: When a virtual machine guest cluster node is migrated to another host, the guest cluster fails over to the other node. You must provide high availability for all virtual machines. Guest clusters must NOT fail over if they are migrated to another host.
You need to configure the guest clusters.
