To be honest I haven't even searched for this in the documentation, as I don't think it's in there, the path is typically fro old to new and smaller towards larger systems...
But we hav an old A700 which we have migrated most of the workloads away from, but we have one "critical" customer which we might consider a non-disruptive migration to a deticated cluster.
I have done a fair deal of headswaps, but never from A700 to a FAS... it is even possible? And if not, can it be done with expanding the A700 cluster with the FAS2750 and then migrating over the SVM and it's resources and then removing the A700... We are talking fibrechannel workloads. (we have a pair of CN1610s that we can use (yes I know they are OOS)) I just want to be sure there are not gotchas along the way 😉

Mixing the A700 with a 2750 in a cluster is supported, so that way is always possible. The headswap procedure is not supported for an A700 to 2750 migration for various reasons (FAS/AFF mix, stack/disk limits, NVMEM size, etc.)
