Temporarily mix Intel and AMD hosts in Hyper-V cluster for migration purposes

Hi, we currently have a Hyper-V cluster (2012 R2) running on old AMD-based hosts. We are going to replace these with new Intel-based servers.

Is the following scenario possible (though likely not supported)? 

  • join new (Intel-based) hosts to existing cluster
  • shut down all virtual machines
  • migrate all virtual machines to new hosts
  • remove old (AMD-based) hosts from cluster

Would be the easiest option. Otherwise I need to create a new cluster and either create new storage, or connect LUNs to new cluster and import all VMs, in any case much more work and more risk.
