Starting from TMOS 11.5.0, you can have a cluster between VE and hardware Big-IP assuming they run the same version.

 

As a side note, if you configure a sync-failover cluster spread among multiple locations, the latency between locations must stay low (under 100ms) or you may encounter unwanted failovers, or unwanted Active-Active state. As an alternative, you can configure a sync-only cluster or if your DR plan allows that, you can force your DR devices offline and only turn them online in DR situations.
