One single pool combining SSD & HDD

I have a new Dell ME4 storage with 4 SSD and 15 HDD. We want to have only one single datastore to present in VMware hypervisor. How should I configure the pool, disk group, and tiering?

I can't utilize SSD read cache as it only supports up to 2 SSD per group and since I need only one pool so I will be having 2 SSD unutilized.
