SQL 2012 AlwaysOn as Guest Cluster on top of Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V

Hi everyone, i have a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster and i want to setup a two node SQL 2012 AlwaysOn using VMs.

I know that SQL 2012 AlwaysOn is not supported on CSV disks. So i would like to know if it is supported to create my two SQL 2012 VMs (e.g. SQL-VM1 on Node1 and SQL-VM2 on Node2) without making them higly available and have some LUNs (e.g. LUN10, LUN11, LUN12 ) directly attached to VM SQL-VM1 and some other LUNs (e.g. LUN20, LUN21, LUN22) directly attached to VM SQL-VM2. Then i will create the AlwaysOn Cluster inside those VMs (forming a guest cluster) . Is this a supported senario? Rememer, my hosts are also configured as a Hyper-V cluster for some other, highly availabe VMs. 

Also if this is supported, it is better (and supported) to add my LUNs to Hyper-V Cluster (not as CSV disks but as available space) and have my VHDs for my SQL VMs created on those disks?

Thank you advance,

George
