Different hardware plateform/modules clustering

We have two F5 LTM 5000S on primary site in active/standby. I want to add two more LTM on DR Site also part of the cluster of PR site (Stretched Cluster).

 

My Question is F5 5000s are EOL. F5 5050S has same features as 5000S except Hard Drive. I think it should be considered as same hardware plateform as only hard drive is different?

 

Primary site LTMs have LTM,APM,AMM modules although we are using only LTM module. If DR F5 5050s has only LTM module will it work or same modules are require in passive devices as well?

 

Lastly what is GSP1 support level?

  • you can even cluster VEs with hardware appliances, so 5000S with 5050S shouldn't be a problem.

     

    different modules is an issue though, they have to be the same.

     

    last question i would ask your local F5 sales team.
