VMware machine hardware version change

Hi

Got a question regarding VMware machine hardware 'upgrade'. 

Is it also safe to change the hardware version on an existing ISE server to something newer than machine hardware version 9?

Per documentation

VMware Virtual Hardware Version/Hypervisor

VMware Virtual Machine Hardware Version 8 or higher on ESXi 5.x (5.1 U2 minimum) and 6..

Note 

If you are installing Cisco ISE on an ESXi 5.x server, to support RHEL 7 as the Guest OS, update the VMware hardware version to 9 or later. RHEL 7 is supported with VMware hardware version 9 and later.

Yes.  The VM hardware version from a virtualization perspective just enables new hardware features and capabilities.
