If I understand your question correct: yes. If you intend to cluster
between the VM's the SAN should best be using directly attached to the
VM's. Keep in mind that how you attach storage very much depends on the
application you want highly available. (for example: don't run exchange
2007 on a Hyper-V cluster, but rather cluster two hyper-V VM's running
Exchange as an Exchange CCR cluster..)
I'm not sure what you will be running on the VM's, but just as some
background information: MS has recently posted
(
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...yperV2008.docx)
the results of tests where they reported results of fixed size VHD's to
be quite similar to pass-through storage.
If you're intending to do an Exchange 2007 deployment on Hyper-V and
cluster it: pass-through storage is advised:

That will be my next article b.t.w. ;-)
