Cluster not supported in SCVMM?

New Cluster, 2008 enterprise x64 hyper-v guests clustered. Two of the guests
are 2008 x64 ent and the other is 2003 x86 ent. The cluster is reporting no
errors and works perfectly. In SCVMM it is being reported as an unsupported
configuration on the virtual machines themselves. The cluster is showing as
green and ok for all hosts.

The cluster is a Node and Disk Majority.

The message in SCVMM is:

*************************

Warning (13923)
Highly available virtual machine Albdctest1 is not supported by VMM because
its cluster resource group is not configured correctly.

Recommended Action
Ensure that the resource group only contains a single VM resource, a single
VM configuration resource, and zero or more disk resources all belonging to
this VM.

Thank you ahead of time!!

I hope this is fixed as I know I will hit this issue.

We use clustering not just for HA, we will be using it to allow us to move
groups of VMS from server to server.

We have about 120VMs and only around 20 - 30 running at anyone time.
Sometime we get most of these on one host. We are going to start using
clustering to allow us to move these VMS around (in groups).

Thanks

If there is more than one virtual machine in a group, you may receive the
following error message when you try to manage those virtual machines from
System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008:
Unsupported Cluster configuration.
SCVMM does not support managing virtual machines if there is more than one
virtual machine in a group.

This 'may' be addressed in SP1.
