Upgrade FMC

[arejeb]

Hello,

I have a FMC (VM) that has reached its end of support. What is the best process to perform the upgrade on this FMC without encountering any issues?

Best Regards,

@arejeb hello, first you need to check the compatibility of firewall modules, OS with the new FMC version. and make sure there is no incompatibilities with new versions.

second, check the upgrade path https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/upgrade/fpmc-upgrade-guide/planning.html#id_69851
