Manage 2012 cluster from 2008 R2

Hi all

I have a client who has a Windows 2008R2 functional level domain. They have Windows 2012 licences, but we don't want to upgrade to 2012 DC, etc just now. However, we want to convert their VMWare farm to HyperV 2012. The problem we have is that we cannot manage a 2012 cluster form 2008R2 server. Is there any way to get 2008 R2 to manage a Windows 2012 cluster? We would really rather leave the operational servers on 2008R2 now as many software vendors who have applications at this site are refusing to support the client if they upgrade to 2012.

We have rolled out several Hyper-V 2012 solutions now and we don't want to install HyperV 2008 R2 for obvious reasons.
