FMCv Migration FMC2700

Is there a migration path from FMCv25 (VMware) 7.4.2.1 to FMC2700?

The Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Model Migration Guide (16 Sep 2024) appears to be the most recent and references version 7.4.2.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/fmc_model_migration/b_FMC_Model_Migration_Guide/about_fmc_model_migration.html#id_111597

This shows I can migrate FMCv25 (VMware) to FMC2600, but not to the FMC2700.

As noted in the doc linked by @balaji.bandi, use the configure-model-sh script to change the source FMC model ID temporarily.

When I asked TAC, the engineer simply replied "Yep - you fond the documentation and it isn't supported".

Using the configure-model-sh script, I changed the source FMC to FMC1600, and proceeded with the backup. Restore on FMC2700, and ran the migration script. Successfully migrated with no errors.

Thank you.
