Proper order for adding Hyper_V vm's to HA CSV

1> What is the proper order for VM creation for a Hyper-V  HA CSV environment; Create VM's on the drive then cluster it or create the Cluster then add VM's?  Does it really matter at all?
2> Until I get a second host machine, can I set up clustering on a single machine?

Hi,
I didn't see the link in your post.  Could you resend it?

You always have flexibility, but there will be less reconfiguration involved if you setup the cluster first and then add the VMs. Otherwise you will need to migrate the VMs when you move them into the cluster. You can start with a single node cluster.
