One requirement from customer is to p2v standalone SQL 2000 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server to Hyper-V and duplicate the image then building the cluster from this... seem to be it can be done.. .. but it's not gonna work at all.....
- server name change (2 new server name -> old server name will be use as db cluster name)
- application reconfiguration -> big problem...
so building new windows 2000 cluster and manually migrate it to new environment
hold on a second...
Check out this link ...

Hyper-V only support 1 vCPU for Windows 2000 Server
1 vCPU -> should be ok...
BUT the real problem is...
Hyper-V is not support SCSI Controller on Windows 2000 Server so stuck now
-> guest clustering is required SCSI Controller for shared disk... (can be either vhd or pass-through).. but hold on a second.....
What's about iSCSI... yeah... it should work fine ...
But... i would say.. building new cluster environment with Windows Server 2003 should be a better way...SQL Server 2000 Clustering on Windows Server 2003 is not an issue.
guest clustering with pass-through disk -> must be on the difference host...
But Microsoft only support using iSCSI for the guest clustering also
