How to set up Windows 2008 R2 2-node (Active/Passive) cluster using one host in vSphere 5.0U2 thru VSphere Web Client 5.5?

I'm trying to set up a Windows 2008 R2 2-node (Active/Passive) cluster using one host of a cluster which has 3 hosts in vSphere 5.0U2 thru vSphere Web Client 5.5 for learning purpose only.  I'm reading the instructions in the following document:

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-55-setup-m...

Do I need to change anything on a host?  I don't understand the paragraph:

A cluster of virtual machines on one physical machine requires a host with one physical network adapter for the VMkernel.   Use a separate physical network adapter for clustered virtual machines to connect with external hosts.

Thanks for any help.
