    yes that is possible, see:

    https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15496

    Starting in BIG-IP 11.4.0, the BIG-IP system supports high availability (HA) features, such as ConfigSync and failover, between different hardware platforms.

    normally i would point out to size against the less powerful system. but i believe you wont run like this for long.

Hi boneyard,

 

Indeed the clusters won't stay asymmetric for long - maybe 1 day tops, I hope to migrate one blade one night, the other on the night after that.

 

Even if config-sync fails, as long as failover works properly I don't think I'll have problems.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

BR,

Mike
