Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Can't see LUNs on Virtual Machine

I am trying to put a Hyper-V Virtual Cluster together using virtual HBAs and my EMC SAN backend (VNX7500) with 8510 switches.

I have created the virtual SAN switches using Emulex LPe-12002 Fiber Adapters (and yes, NPIV is enabled and supported).  I zoned the virtual initiators to the storage no problem.

I can see the new LUNs on the physical host but can't get the virtual hosts to see the LUNs. Aren't the LUNs suppose to show up on the Guests once I add them to the Virtual Machine Cluster Manager?  I know I cna make them VHDX drives and pass them through under a SCSi controller but then what good are the vHBAs?

I have tried both Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012 R2 as guests.

I feel like I must be missing a step.
