When I stepped thru the process on the first server (Primary server) when I got to the dialog screen that asked for "Select Servers or a Cluster" I am not sure if I am to enter just the server I am working on or to enter both servers (one on the east coast and one on the west coast) that will make up a named cluster.
When creating the Windows cluster you need to select all nodes that will be a part of the cluster.

On the next screen it ask to name the cluster which I did and then it list the two networks the servers are on and ask for an IP.I am not sure if I should just pick the first available IP address that is not used or be concerned that the network admins need to be consulted. I went ahead and ran thru all the steps and the process completed OK. I logged into what I hope to be my standby machine and tried to see if it recognized the cluster I set up on the primary server and it came back with an error.
You need to consult your sys admins to ensure the cluster virtual IP and network name fit with their standard and are not in use
