The one "gotcha" we ran into was that you can't have a Public Folder store on the CCR cluster and setup tries to create that as the first thing. We ended up creating a VM for just the public folders and then going through the setup on the cluster.

Once you get your Iscsi Drivers/RDAC etc setup and working properly take a look at Exchange CCR clustering. It’s pretty straight forward to setup. I haven’t done it with Iscsi, but in our IBM SAN environment it works great.
