FMC 1000 to FMC 4500 migration

Level 1

Hi Everyone, Is the FMC migration possible from FMC 1000 to FMC 4500 with both models running 6.5.0 and then running the migration script? Has anyone tried this or is it only applicable to x600 series FMCs? Any idea on this.

The guide says it's only supported for target platforms of 1600/2600/4600 (in the hardware category anyway).

The script:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/fmc_model_migration/b_FMC_Model_Migration_Guide/migrate_your_fmc.html#id_111629

...does seem to have some checking built-in:

@Marvin Rhoads , Thank you. That was helpful, I had a look into the script and it seems it does some checking. The guide does say we can do from a lower model to higher model but the table says the target module should be x600.
