IB to ethernet back end migration

Is Infiniband to ethernet  non disruptive migration supported for old generations,  like Gen5 or Gen 4 ?  And please suggest any documentations.

    And consequently all of your nodes must be gen6 or later to support an Ethernet BE. But then we’re still talking about the not inconsequential swapping out of both BE switches.
