Hi Peter,
do I understand right and you want to configure a VM Guest cluster?
It works the same like when you cluster physical servers. At first you need to ensure the VMs can reach each other and the responsible Domain Controller and DNS.
Second you use what ever cluster service your application offers, for example microsoft failover cluster manager.

I hope that helps.
