Adding LTM's for migration 11.4.1 HF2

I have a unique situation I'm looking for a little guidance on. We currently are in the process of replacing all of our hardware with new hardware, moving from 8900's to 10200's. What we're doing is ...
application delivery
BIG-IP DNS
deployment
design
LTM

So we tried to do this over the weekend, after being able to get all devices into the same device-failover group they would not synchronize with one another. Worked with F5 support and they indicated that device-failover groups are only supported with equivalent hardware (we are adding members currently on 8900's with two new instances on 10200v hypervisor as mentioned above).

 

So looks like it may not be possible, in theory it seemed like it would work, but in practice it did not. Anyone ever do it successfully?

    Hmmm, that's a real shame.

    Did you also encounter issues with the GTM sync group, or just with the LTM piece?

    Didn't get a chance to move onto the GTM's since we couldn't get the LTM's working properly (they were stage one of the migration).
