SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Guest VM's on top of Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster

Hi everyone, i have a 3-node Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster and i want to setup a 2-node SQL 2012 AlwaysOn using Higly Available VMs (inside Hyper-V Cluster).

I know that SQL 2012 AlwaysOn is not supported on CSV disks. But is it supported to form my SQL 2012 AlwaysOn cluster inside those two VM's using a virtual SAN Switch and having my LUN's mapped directly on that VM's?  My storage is FC so i can present a virtual Fibre Channel adapter to VM's and attach storage disks directly. My purpose is to have my database files living on the LUN's, not on the OS drive (the OS drive will live on a CSV drive). Is this (or a similar...) configuration supported? 

Just to make it simpler:

VM OS Drive:  on a CSV Drive

VM Data Drive: directly on a storage's LUN.

VM Logs Drive: directly on a storage's LUN. 

My goal is to have my SQL 2012 AlwaysOn VM's highly available and also my Databases highly availabe. So is this configuration supported?

Thank you advance,

George
