Storage & layout of VHDs and VMs on a SAN


hi all,

i'm in process of setting hyper-v cluster failover. have 2 dell r710 hosts connected dell ps4000i san 2.1tb of usable storage (in raid 50 config).

have configured csv, , far of our trials have worked well. failover & live migration working great - has not become production platform yet. have few questions i'm hoping people can assist with:

1) have assigned 500mb quorum , 2000gb single lun on san (shared using csv).
if ever run out of room can add plenty of physical disks, can increase size of lun without losing data on it? or have backup lun, wipe , setup new larger lun , share again csv?

2) should leave unallocated space on san other volumes (instead of allocating whole 2.1tb)?

3) there benefit storing vhds , vm on seperate luns?

there other tips can suggest or think of? we're using scvmm if helps.
in advance,

steve
