Can Tiered Storage be created within VMs?

I have a Server 2012 R2 cluster.

I plan to create a shared cluster volume that uses SSD drives.  This shared cluster volume would then have the usual VHDX files for the VMs.

My desire was for one VM to use tiered storage that would be comprised of one ordinary virtual drive and another virtual drive that resided on the SSD shared cluster volume.

To test the concept I created a VM with two virtual hard drives, but when I use the wizard the tiered storage option is not available with a message saying that it must have a hard drive and a SSD drive.  So it will not do it.

Is there a way to get around this?  Would power shell do it?

Thanks for any help.
