Manually make a VM highly availabe and move it into an already existing Failover group


hi there,
is there way move or put vm existing failovergroup?
i know "official" way have vms should exist in group should on same disk.
but performance managebility option want put every vm onto seperate lun.
the big plan have multiple vms host-based clustered oracle db on same host make use of virtual network possible.
we did on w2k3 vs2005 , ms loopback adapter. in process of evaluating on w2k8 hyper-v.

what work put lun failover group before adding cluster. works sometimes.
i'm aware of 2 options add "virtual machine" , "virtual machine configuration" resources cluster group. not put when add vm "normal" way. adding thge vmguid private cluster property via cluster.exe works, how handle nic stuff......

any ideas highly welcome.
big plan have around 10-15 vms db , not using physical network app on vm ->db communication. sure: clients connect apps on vm via physical (virtual) network.....

additional info / tests
having made high available vm (group) i've added disk new vm reside , add vm via "configure service or application" works fine.....
when create empty group , try put vm described above i've got errors.
specifically unspecific:
    looking required storage...
    there failure configuring virtual machine role 'paps0'.
edit again:
perhaps answer question myself on time, think helpful communities:
as long putting additional vms existing vm group working, not other groups.
i find out not possible via gui, possible cluster.exe
what did is:
making vm high-available classic way , use on commandprompt: cluster.exe res "virtual machine test" /move:test-group
doing move ressources belonging vm (vm, vm config & disk) new cluster group (regardless of function group is).
big drawback: there no "refresh virtual machine configuration" menu in non-vm group.... anbody know cmd?


thanks lot in advance

well, news!  if understand things, you're in luck.  windows server 2008 r2 has support cluster shared volumes allow have multiple vms on single lun (and within single group inside failover clustering) 

hope helps,
