The precise method of deploying any given shared storage scheme will vary depending on the hardware and software you are using.

The basic process is to:

1. Implement the shared storage first
2. Connect the Hyper-V hosts to it
3. Add the hosts into a Failover Cluster.

• CSV is supported on WS2008R2 and newer
• Failover Cluster Manager
  • CluAdmin.msc
