you need build clustered file server. see:

clustered file server

...or

shared nothing smb3 file server

https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/part-2-smb-3-0-file-server-on-free-microsoft-hyper-v-server-2012-r2-clustered

you can use shared storage make sure before you'll jump on shared vhdx bandwagon you'll approval backup vendor - can handle shared vhdx or not. make sure you're ok not move / resize etc shared vhdx. see:

shared vhdx overview (limitations)
