This can be done but is not a recommended configuration. If you find yourself in a failover situation, a single controller will be attempting to tier to itself which can have a performance impact. We recommend a 4 node cluster for this use case or 2, 2 node clusters.

I believe you can configure it in this way, however Flashpool would typically be the ideal solution for that scenario...
