HP EVA6350 spare controller replacement

[p3kk3r]

Greetings

apologies as this is not for 3par , hoping to get some insight from you guys as i cannot get a straight answer elsewhere.

got an HP EVA 6350 with 2 controller installed as below:

Model number: HSV340
Spare part number: 671991-001
Assembly part number: AJ918-60103

Recently ive been getting some notifications that one of the controllers entered degraded state and after a while operation state becomes good. naturally ive started looking to buy a spare controller in case of failure and i cannot find the same part number. The one i found is listed below

HP AJ918-63001 Storage Array Controller für EVA P6300 HSV340
Spare part number: 537151-001

do you believe that if i replace a failed controller with different part number but same model (HSV340) it will be ok ?

much appreciated

Pretty sure it wouldn't work as there used to be an upgrade kit from 6300 to 6350 back in the days which included some hardware.
