How to use vGPU and vSGA both on same vSphere 6.0 host

I have been testing vGPU on a vSphere 6.0 host with Horizon 6.1, and I now want to add a vSGA pool to this host. Only two physical GPU's are being used with the two vGPU vm's I have powered on.

 

My question is, what do I need to do to make this host allow vSGA-enabled VM's to power on and share resources on the other two remaining GPU's?  I set the desktop pool to use "Hardware" 3D Renderer and added one VM to the pool. 

 

When I try to power on this VM, I get this error message in vSphere Web client: 

"Hardware GPU is required but not available. The virtual machine will not start until GPU resources are available or the virtual machine is configured to allow software rendering."

 

This is the gpuvm and nvidia-smi command line output:

The ESXi 6.0 host has two GRID K2 cards for a total of 4 GPU's. Only two vGPU-enabled vm's are powered on, so it would seem I can use the other two GPU's for vSGA VM's, right?
