No — Sangfor HCI disaster recovery (DR) does not support cross‑CPU vendor clusters. Both the production site and the DR site must use the same CPU vendor family (Intel ↔ Intel or AMD ↔ AMD) to ensure VM compatibility, live migration, and replication consistency. Mixing Intel and AMD clusters is not supported for DR failover or replication scenarios

Yes, a primary cluster based on Intel CPUs and a DR cluster based on AMD CPUs is possible. This setup works well for disaster recovery scenarios as long as both clusters use compatible hypervisor versions and CPU compatibility/feature masking is applied.

However, live migration between Intel and AMD clusters is not supported. This design is suitable for cold or warm DR, where virtual machines are started at the DR site only during a failover event.
