Simulating Clustering virtually:

[n30_mkii]

Is there anyway to test/setup clustering with a fake SAN to familiarise myself more with clustering and failures etc? I can setup multiple VMWare machines, but would need a central disk? Whats the best way? is it possible? I'm a little but out of touch with it now, and wouldn't mind playing with SQL and exchange on a cluster....

I've set up clusters in Virtual Server and with VMware (free edition). A quick google should bring up a guide. Basically you can create a virtual shared storage, and attach it to both VMs. Very handy for an initial play with clustering.

Thats what I'm after, will take a look on google see what comes up
