HPE Synergy upgrade path

[wukong1025]

We are running Composer 6.5 and Synergy SP 2021.11.01, with RHEL7.9 and VMware ESXi 7U3 on top. And we are planning to upgrade both Composer and SSP to 8.60 and SP 2024.01.02 to support RHEL8.10 and VMWare ESXi8U. The compute modules are also running with the 3530c HBA card and 3820 CNA card.

Would any of the paths below be valid for the upgrade:
path 1: OneView 6.5 + SSP 2021.11.01 + RHEL7.9 -> SSP 2022.02.01 + RHEL 7.9 -> SSP 2022.02.01 + RHEL 8.4 -> Upgrade the HBA card 3530c to 5830c -> Upgrade the CNA card 3820c to 4820c -> Upgrade the Composer 1 to Composer 2 -> OneView 8.6 -> SSP 2024.01.02 + RHEL 8.4 -> SSP 2024.01.02 + RHEL 8.10 -> VMWare ESXi 8
path 2: OneView 6.5 + SSP 2021.11.01 + RHEL7.9 -> Upgrade the HBA card 3530c to 5830c -> Upgrade the CNA card 3820c to 4820c -> Upgrade the Composer 1 to Composer 2 -> SSP 2022.02.01 + RHEL 7.9 -> SSP 2022.02.01 + RHEL 8.4 -> OneView 7 -> OneView 8.00 -> OneView 8.30 -> OneView 8.60 - > SSP 2024.01.02 + RHEL 8.4 -> SSP 2024.01.02 + RHEL 8.10 -> VMware ESXi 8
