Failover Cluster

I want to create a Failover Cluster for 2 new virtual SQL servers. My Hyper-V host is also running Windows Server 2016. My host 22TB of drive space on Raid 5.I read some where that if my drives are raided I can't setup a failover cluster. Is this true?

I'm sorry.....both nodes will be on separate servers. In Failover Cluster Manager on the host I created a cluster and added the 2 virtual SQL servers. My problem now is there are no available  Disks under Storage.

OK....Let me backup....On my virtual SQL box I have attached 3 scsi vhdx drives. When I attempt to add those drives as storage in Cluster manager I get the following message:

No disk suitable for cluster disk were found. For diagnostic information about disk available to the cluster, use the Validate a Configuration Wizard to run Storage tests.
