HA Sync between different models

Can a HA be configured between two different models of enrerprise appliance? Example between a 4200 and 5800 or like a 4400 and 5800 appliance, will the HA sync work?

Thank you.

Can we copy and apply the configuration backup from 4400 or 4200 to a 5800?

Any specific point we need to keep in mind before copying the configuration.

Backups between models are also not supported.
The security policy configuration will come from the management after you SIC and install policy.
Much of the interface/OS configuration can be migrated with the output of show configuration.
However note that command may not output in a way that can be executed on another system.
Also interface names may vary between platforms, so you will need to double-check this.
