Building A Hyper-V Cluster On The Cheap
I don’t intend to re-invent the wheel with this post, nor do I quite have the expertise of others to provide a real detailed step-by-step guide (not yet anyway, but I am working on it!).
To help me as well, I am going to use this page to dump a whole lot of links and resources on how to deploy Hyper-V hosts in to a cluster, with a mixture of shared storage options.
The point of this article and it’s links is to provide information to either lab setups or startups that can’t afford a few Dell R710 servers, EMC storage and Cisco switches. The info below should help lay out basic architecture design, and simple setups as well as some basic principles that can be applied to increase performance.

To be honest, just follow this blog: http://www.aidanfinn.com/!
I will also try and get some other links up regarding the use of other SAN software such as Solarwinds and Openfiler when I get a chance.

Really nice. This can save a lot of money when it comes to implementing shared storage…
