Dynamically expanded VHD and fail over cluster.

I’m looking for solution how to use dynamically expanded VHD disks on Hyper-V fail over cluster. I’m going to set up system on DELL MD3000i iSCSI SAN. Problem is, as far as I know it is impossible to put a few virtual machines on one LUN in fail over cluster, so basically there is no point to use dynamically expanded HDD on fixed size LUN. Is any way to set up dynamically expanded LUN on MD3000i? Is any other option to achieve safe space goal in fail over cluster?
Thanks for your help

    There is a hotfix from Microsoft that allows you to multiple Hyper-V VMs on a LUN and then quick migrate or fail over them as a group. The KB article is 951308. Here is a link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951308/en-us
