FMCV 7.2.5 Hyperv Image - Where to download?

Hi All

where can we find the HyperV image for FMC version 7.2.5 (as this is the recommended version)

I had a look at the download options but the Hyper V image is not there.

@PacketSpartan the release notes confirms support for Hyper-V was introduced in 7.4

And the Hyper-V deployment guide states you need the Azure image

Thanks, Rob,

For the FMC, Cisco's gold star is 7.2.5, I assume there is no way to get 7.2.5 if we're building on Hyper V?

@PacketSpartan no unfortunately Hyper-V is only supported from 7.4. You'd either have to use 7.4 or use cdFMC or another hypervisor.

FYI, FMC 7.4.1 works just fine. It's not yet the Suggested Release due primarily to the relatively fewer customers having adopted it, not due to it not being ready for production use.

I am running it on about 5 different customers' deployments and it works fine. The only significant caveat is that your managed devices must all be 7.0+.
