Hello All,
Need to upgrade my ASA 5525-x with firepower Services managed by virtual FMC.
I have gathered compatibility matrix of between ASA and asa firepower Services.
Current Asa version 9.8(3)
Target version 9.14(2)
Current FMC version 6.2.3
Target 6.6.4
Basically I need to know how can I start the upgrade like should I first upgrade the Asa then ASA firepower Services and at last FMC or like what ?
Please help to know in which order should I start my upgrade for succesful upgrade procedure.

This link https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/upgrade/asa-upgrade/firepower-fmc.html#topic_ilc_gx4_2bb states "If you manage the ASA FirePOWER module using the Firepower Management Center, then you need to upgrade the Management Center before you upgrade the module."
The steps at this link https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/upgrade/asa-upgrade/asa-appliance-asav.html#topic_r5l_tt5_bbb instruct to upgrade the ASA then the Firepower Module.
All of the steps to upgrade each component are in the links provided.

---|---|
6.7.0 or any 6.7.x maintenance release |
6.3.0 |

The links I provided shows you the steps to upgrade the ASA via CLI.
