totally unsupported.
For starters, the NVRAM is different in these models. Still, head swaps, as far as I know, are not supported during takeover/giveback.... Environment variables are set that may be unique also. Been a while since I have checked.
You need to be careful with disk assignments (software ownership) networking interfaces may not line up and will require correction.
Basically, don't do it. Don't try it. Follow the upgrade guide.

Hi,
Does anyone have experience doing a head swap of a FMC, from 6080 heads to 6290 heads? And hints beyond what's already in the "Upgrading a FAS60xx system in an HA pair to a FAS62xx system in an HA pair" document?
Is there any reason why you can't do this, during a HA pair upgrade, to limit service downtime:
- doing a failover of node 1 to node 2.
- shut down and replace the hardware of node 1.
- shutting down node 2.
- bring up the now-replaced node 1, reassign disks, and takeover node 2 on
the new node 1.
- replacing the node 2 hardware
- doing a giveback on node 1 to node 2.
