I have a simple setup:
Firepower Management Center is managing 1 Firepower 1010 device. I want to know if there is a way in the event of a power loss on the device can the FMC initiate a shutdown to prevent bricking the device from a hard shutdown?
My FMC is on a ESXi workstation is on the same battery backup as the firewall and will have about 5-10 mins to do a graceful shutdown if possible.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Sorry but there's no feature like that.
It's of course not recommended, but I've had both FMCs and FTD devices power cycled without a graceful shutdown and they restarted just fine. It helps to have a regular backup schedule and keep the backups on an external device.
