We are planning to setup Hyper V 2012 cluster with two hosts using iSCSI SAN.
1.) Installing Hyper V on server core or a normal install which one is better.
2.) If its servercore, Do you need a windows 8 or a another windows 2012 machine to manage Hyper 2012 host or can the tool be installed on windows 7.
3.)How do you P2V with hyperv

1)      Server core is better solution but you could begin with a GUI and then remove it when the server setup is completed – this a new feature of Windows Server 2012 that did exist in Windows Server 2008

2)      Yes, with server core setup you will need Windows 8 or another Windows Server 2012 to manage the virtual machines

3)      P2V is not directly supported with Hyper-V Manager. You need additional tools to do that: some are free, other are not. You could search EE for the best tool that fits your needs
