but are supported for cluster
expansion.
Yes. Non-recommended nodes
are considered for license
check. However, using non-
recommended nodes for
cluster expansion may
result in sub-optimal cluster
performance.

The nodes are recommended based on the following checks:
Both new nodes and cluster nodes must be from Dell Technologies.
New nodes and cluster nodes must be from the same model for symmetrical cluster. For mixed cluster, new nodes can be of
any model of the existing cluster nodes.
Operating system installed on new nodes must be same as cluster nodes (major OS version). Failover cluster expansion is
supported in nodes using Windows Server 2016 and 2019 OS versions.
