bringing new appliances into a cluster

[Daniel_Kavan]

Hi mates,

We have a cluster of 6900s and we are bringing in 9300s to replace them.   My understanding is to just add the 9300s into the existing cluster, fail over then remove/delete the older 6900s.    Does everyone agree that's the best approach?    Instead of sync cable, I'm planning on either using a run of the mill hub or a few switch ports.  I assume its ok to have a mix of 6900s and 9300s for a small amout of time the active node may be a 6900 and the standby running on a 9300.

I always follow below process for that and never an issue.
