We converted an eight-node GX cluster to four HA pairs of version 8 7-mode. It is do-able, but definitely not trivial. You will probably have to get an OK from NetApp, since the license for cluster mode probably doesn't entitle you to run 7-mode.

Hi all, Is it trivial to switch between cluster mode and 7 mode? I understand that the data on the array will be wiped, but are there other caveats to be aware of? Are there any licensing or cost issues to be aware of?
Does anyone know what additional hardware is included in the FAS 2240 Cluster mode configuration? I understand there is a switch, potentially multiple switches included in cluster mode configurations.
