It will work fine. I assume you're going for A/A/A/P?
Exchange supports mountpoints, so you're going to want to do that if you
have a fully loaded environment. What specific storage recommendations are
you looking for? The usual Exchange/Database recommendations apply.

Just to add my $0.02:\\
Mount points worked great on Windows 2003 Server with no SP.
Be very cautious with mount points on Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1. I
have had several sour experiences, some fixed by a hotfix, and others that
have been resolved by going to drive letters upon the recommendation of PSS.
Clusters on Exchange 2003 SP1 work like a champ!

How many user you will hsot on each node?
How many storage groups and databses you want to implement?
For am minimum config it should work, but depending on user load, espacially
on disk I/O you need more drives.

Total Drives:
1 drive for Quorum
2 driver for each node (one for Logs and one for Data)
2 driver * 3 Virtual Server = 6 drivers
6 drives for EVS + 1 Quorum = 7 drives
Correct? Any suggestions?

Looks good to me. What kind of SAN, disk, and HBAs? Unless you're under
pretty heavy load, I suspect your SAN and the disk can deliver the IOPS to
support that with room to grow.
