Hi,
Looking to upgrade a standalone FMC and FP modules located at different sites.
1. I am unsure of which model of FMC I am running how can I tell?
Also unsure of the software version the FMC will need to go to. When looking in the cisco software downloads I can see FMC 1000, 2000, 3000 etc but what is mine?
Details of FMC below.

2. When upgrading the individual FirePower modules on the ASA's is that done via the FMC or on the ASA/FirePower module by CLI?
The firewalls are ASA5512 currently 6.2.0.6-110 software and application version software.
Thanks

Hi,
As per the details you shared...
You are having a vFMC 6.2.1 and ASA5512x with SFR modules on version 6.2.0.6
The latest Firpower version is 6.3, but ASA 5512x does not support 6.3. So you can Upgrade upto 6.2.3.11 until now.
ASA modules need to upgraded from FMC. The image for upgrading FMC you can get from the download center.
Hope This Helps

You can run FMC at the latest release (currently 6.3.0.2). First upgrade to 6.3.0 and then patch to 6.3.0.2.
As @Abheesh Kumar your 5512-X cannot run anything later than 6.2.3.x.

hi,
for question #1, it depends how many managed devices or sensors are you deploying. virtual FMC can only manage up to 25 sensors.
for #2, i read somewhere you can upgrade "minor" patch from FMC. but i would rather perform any upgrades locally since these images are quite large and can significantly consume WAN BW.
