    Yes, I think so. We do evaluation yet, but our first results are okay (no error at cluster validation, live migration with CSV is running, ...).

    Now we are trying Win 2008 R2 cluster with 2 DSS iSCSI autofailover + MPIO ... I'll post our experience here in the next few days ...

    We are also making test with DSS (3537) and Windows 2008 Cluster.

    @pfeifferl: Can you please discribe your environment? Is it only one DSS or DSS with automatic failover?

    Our first test was with only one DSS, but we have 2 boxes and we want to build a 2-node DSS iSCSI autofailover cluster + a 2-node Win 2008 R2 failover cluster (with CSV, MPIO) ... work in progress ...

    We use 2 DSS with auto failover and Win 2008 (not R2!).
    In our test we have bluescreen on the virtual maschine during failover (manul failover). Also the iSCSI drives disappear (Computerverwaltung) and appear a second later.
    The iSCSI initiator is configured with MPIO (virtual IP and both real IP's).
    any ideas?
