Deploying a Vxrail cluster with a temporary TOR switch

HI Vxrail folks

We plan to install a Vxrail 3 nodes cluster with 04 10 Gbe SFP+ ports each , the 02 TORS switches are not   yet  purchased and will take some time to be on site , in the mane time  I have one switch  that meet the requirements and  want to  configure  it as a temporary TOR  and replace it by the 02  official TORs when they will be  ready , of course with a down time  ,

My first  question is their any risk  when replacing the  temporary switche later supposing that the configuration  of vlan ports , STP, interlink , uplink  etc on the official switches will   be donne properly  with nochange? 

My second question , I  dont have suffisant ports to connect all the  03 nodes ports  to the temporary TOR  (have only 10 SFP+  instead of the 12 needed with a 04 port deployment ,  can I deploy the cluster with 02 missing uplinks  ?

 

Hope that someone can help me on this scenario  

Have a good day
