Failover cluster of Hyper-V Virtual Machine with pass-through disk

Hi,

I'm fighting to make this work. The VM is running with a pass-through disk.
It gave me an error while creating a cluster.

The disk path "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V" is either is not
available, not accessible or cannot be managed by the cluster.

Since I'm using a pass-through disk, I didn't specify "Store the virtual
machine in a different location" while creating the VM. I believe the VM
configuration file was saved the the default path which is not on a shared
storage. Is there any way to change path of the VM configuration file to the
pass-through disk? Another thingis I the snapshot file location which is on
C as well. I understand snapshot is not supported with a pass-through disk,
but I cannot leave the path empty.

Does anybody have any solutions for this? I just dont' want to created an
extra shared disk to save the VM configurationa and Snapshot. Is it possilbe
to make it work with only one pass-through disk? I also tried to assigned a
drive letter on the hosting machine to save snapshot and VM configuration but
it doesn't fail over.
