Disappearing ISCSI disks on failover cluster

Trying to set up a test Hyper-V Failover Cluster on a pair of Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition computers.

The computers are cabled to my home router/switch, and also have a redundant connection over my home WiFi network.  The cabled connection and the Wifi connection are using different subnets.

I've configured both as DNS/DCs for the same domain.  One of them has the Microsoft ISCSI Target Server service on it, and I've configured two iSCSI Disks, a 1GB Quorum Disk, and a 300GB disk for VM storage.  I've launched the ISCSI Initiator from both computers, and connected them to the target.  The two ISCSI disks show up in disk management.  On one computer, I initialized/brought online both disks, and formatted them with NTFS.

Next step was to create the failover cluster, but I can't make the disks appear in the cluster.  I've tried it with the disks online, with the disks offline, with no drive letters on the disks - no dice.

After the cluster is created, the disks don't appear in the Failover Cluster Manager Storage -> Disks area, and if I click the Add Disk link, I get the dreaded "No suitable disks for cluster disks were found" message.  Yet, the disks that were configured in Disk Management are not visible from either node.  They also aren't visible in the Server Manager -> File and Storage Services -> ISCSI area.  They are entirely missing in action.  No good recreating them in that tool either; it says, "No eligible servers are available".

What am I not doing that is preventing the ISCSI disks from being available to the Failover Cluster?
