Quick question re: ActiveDR + VMware

Is it a valid config to have a source pod with VMFS datastores accessed via Fiber Channel, replicating to a destination pod in another site / cluster with hosts accessing datastores via RoCEv2 / RDMA? Likewise for iSCSI -> FC and iSCSI -> RDMA ?

vmware

    For clarity this is ActiveDR I'm talking about (ie async) rather than ActiveCluster. I'm also aware you can't mix storage transports (ie RDMA + FC) in a single pod, but I had hoped VMFS in an async setting would be ok, so long as all hosts in a particular location were one or the other.
