Hi Frodo
You have few different options which you can consider.
1. You virtualize the cluster solution and run the 2 nodes as virtual
machines under hyper-v 2.0 and then do a guest based clustering [Remember to
test your application whether it is supported in virtualized environment and
it gives enough performance ]
2. You introduce new host to existing cluster as a new node and present new
shared luns...use cluster recovery software to migrate from old luns to new
luns and once everything is migrated, evict the older unstable nodes.
your solution 1 is not a supported scenario.
