AnswerHyper-V Live Migration with Direct-Attached Storage (DAS)

    Reading up on Hyper-V R2 and Live Migration. Considering implementing it if we have the right hardware. Our current infrastructure includes 2 Direct-Attached Storage units connected to 4 sepearte physical servers.

    My question is simple... Is Live Migration possible with a DAS or must it use some type of NAS or SAN? I get mixed information online.

    If it is possible to run Live Migration on a DAS, is there some documentation somewhere on how to configure such a setup?

    Further research has lead me to believe it is not possible without iSCSI or SAN.  If anyone else has different information please let me know.
