I would recommend that you plan for total loss of connections on the blade that is being disabled.

 

Mirroring involves - Connection & Persistence Mirroring. For Viprion Systems, there is intra & inter cluster mirroring that adds another layer of complexity.

 

Intra Clustering mirroring doesn't work for L7 traffic (10.x) Inter Clustering mirroring will only work when you have 2 chassis with identical number of blades in the identical slots.
