Can I Use the Existing Cluster Shared Volumes With Newly Setup Failover Cluster

$

Good morning,

I am setting up a new Hyper-V failover cluster with Windows Server 2012 R2. The new node has already been setup with a Hyper-V Witness disk (2GB in size).

The LUNs are on our Dell Compellent and they hold the CSVs which are presently mapped to the older Windows Server 2012 4 node cluster which is still operational. I had these LUNs mapped to the new Hyper-V node which I am setting up.

I can see the disks in the Disk Management on the new node and they are not initialized because I didn't go that far yet. These disks are not visible when I try to add them to the new cluster which is currently composed of the 1 new node. I will be adding the older 4 nodes from the old cluster to the new one once I live migrate the virtual machine to the new one and upgrade them to Windows Server 2012 R2.

Do I need to do something in order to make the existing LUNs visible to the new cluster or will I need to create new LUNs which I will then map to the new cluster as new volumes, and to which I will migrate the existing VHD and VHDX drives?

Thanks in advance.
