Yes it is possible to build a DSC between different platforms. But be aware that connection and session mirroring and also close to hardware related features like DOS support and Packet Velocity ASIC (PVA) gets handled quite different between platform so don't bet on it.

Also have a look into https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K15496

    Thank you eneR,

    finally, few days ago, we have had the opportunity to show this scenario to f5 professional services and they confirmed that it can be done.

    They didn't mention about PVA or DOS, however on this enviroment , session mirroring is not used at all.

    The only requirement they mentioned is about CPU resources that must be the same , but i don't know why.
