Can MSS 2005 be clustered using VM images i.e. with out a SAN

We would like to do MSS 2005 cluster failover testing with out Application,
however we do not have a SAN (or shared disk storage). Oracle provide the
ablity to create a 10G cluster using 2 Virtual Machines, so we were wondering
if Micrsoosft provides a a similiar solution for MSS 2005 and if so if there
is any documentation?
The lab manual from the course at www.clusterhelp.com does the whole thing
in Virtual Server.
