How to cluster servers? (Windows 2012+SAN)?

6 servers are given, each is used as a host of hyper-v machines, on each server 1-2TB, there is not enough space, you need to combine the servers into a cluster and connect to the SAN with the ability of all 6 servers to work with it simultaneously, an additional task was to use the useful features of win 2012(NIC teaming, SMB3.0), optimize configuration, improve performance. Actually, I have already studied some information, I'm interested in pitfalls and tips on creating a cluster, while at the planning stage. Has anyone had experience with a similar problem?

Taking into account the fact that the start of sales of MS 2012 was only a week ago, then probably no one has yet had the experience of live implementation, except for those specialists of MS itself.
Even on technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/ee344820 (v=ws.10).aspx there are no descriptions for 2012 yet, so far only for 2008R2

Well, as our admin, who has been tormenting 2012 for about six months, said, there are practically no differences in installation and configuration from 2008R2

Snapp, I recommend paying attention to the new features that Windows Server 2012 provides. In particular, you can use a shared folder as a Quorum Disk. Therefore, it is possible to sack well on SAN / network equipment.
We are currently testing this solution for a non-productive SQL server - the results are encouraging.
