    I have a 3 node cluster that is running server 2008 R2, using live migration and Cluster Shared Volumes.

    I need a better way to manage the cluster and was looking a SCVMM, I was wondeing if I can manage the cluster even though it is already up and running.  6+ months.

     

    Thanks

    You can add in VMM.  In VMM just add the cluster name and it should find all cluster members and add all the hosts and VMs.

     

    Also, give it some time to fully populate.  It may take a few refreshes for the hosts/VMs to show up.  One other thing to be aware of is how the VMs are created.  If the VM was created through the Hyper-V manager and not the Failover Cluster Manager then VMM may not see it.
