We need one host for the active node, one host for the passive node, and one host for the witness. The other thing that I need on all of these ESXi hosts is a management network and a vCenter High Availability Network. So let's go to configure. And under configure, I'm going to go to virtual switches, and I'm going to look at my vSphere standard switch. I'm going to do this with a vSphere Standard Switch, even though it would be easier to do it with a vSphere distributed switch.
