Is HXDP 4.5(2e) qualified FI/Server firmware 4.2(2a)?

[Markus5849]

Based on the HXDP 4.5(x) documentation I can see that the latest version that 4.5(2e) HXDP support is FI/Server firmware 4.2(1n). Have anyone here tried to build HX cluster 4.5(2e) with server and FI firmware 4.2(2a)?

Officially the only supported firmware is the QA'd list of firmware on page:
  https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/hyperconverged_systems/HyperFlex_HX_DataPlatformSoftware/release-guidelines-and-support-timeline/b-recommended-hx-data-platform-sw-releases/m-software-requirements-4-5.html#id_119691

Unofficially it might work. But Hyperflex does have some version checks built in which might prevent the installation from completing.

I would just downgrade the firmware on servers to match the Qualified Server Firmware.
