HyperV failover project with local disks

hello,

i have  3 server , these servers same resources , same model.

i want install hyperv 2012 on these servers. haven't  storage device. so, must use local disk on servers. need nfs raid.

 if first server down, want able run virtual machine on other serves. 

so, think; 

create 3 vhd disk , mount on first server. 1 of them on  local disk. 

other vhd files stored on other 2 servers via network path.

and create raid5 these vhd files.

can ? or there way ?

thanks

unfortunately cannot need host on csv need hosted fault tolerant san (or nas windows server 2012 / hyper-v 3.0).

so either you'll deploy clustered raid controllers creating multi-path lun hyper-v boxes share:

or you'll use external sas enclosure keep shared sas disks , confiure clustered storage spaces:

or use san / nas (supporting smb 3.0). assuming don't want 1 of hosts holding vm images , becoming single point of failure (spof).

another option run software san /nas directly on hyper-v hosts , taking das existing on them , mounting emulated fault tolerant san.

starwind, steeleye , datacore can create config this:

so read more follow link (dual , triple hyper-v configurations supported , there's free version can roll out 2 hosts):
