should the hyper-v host act as a file share server


i plan on setting virtual network using dell r720 , md3200i. have configured 2 storage groups on md3200i hold the following virtual machines, vm-server1 (dc), vm-server2 (apps server), vm-server3. the second storage group purely shared data. question is, make second storage group accessible host (r720) , setup share here or create virtual server using second storage space setup shares within vm. 

i plan on adding host server domain. there be no other physical servers @ point 

microsoft not recommend using hyper-v host purpose other running hyper-v.  however, standalone environment, setting file sharing host should work fine.  microsoft's recommendation create vm , use file server.  part of reasoning behind such recommendation vm running file services portable , not tied physical server.  setting file services on hyper-v host ties services physical machine.  microsoft ensuring flexibility possible environment.
