Changing interconnects in C7000 enclosure

[Mike Celone]

I have a question about upgrading the fibre channel interconnects in our C7000 enclosure.  Can you have two different modules side by side (slot 5 and 6) in an enclosure?

Right now we have two Brocde 4/12 SAN switches in slots 5 and 6 but need to upgrade them to Brocade 8/12c SAN switches.  Are we able to disable the existing 4/12 module in slot 5, install the new 8/12c switch, configure it and then bring it online and then do the same for the other module in slot 6?  Or do the two modules have to be match and be done at the same time?
