Hosts with different hardware

[joblackk]

I've always setup identical hosts in clusters.  However, I have one project we need to add a host that eventually it will be decommissioned after work is completed of different manufacturer (IBM blades and one dell server).  Are there penalties to add a host to the cluster with different hardware? Never tried it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IMO, I don't think this matters as long as CPU generations are same, or use EVC, you cannot mix intel and amd in same cluster.  But this should work just fine.
