@Dhikra Marghli if you are concerned about upgrading, you could have an issue with any version you upgrade to. Version 6.6 is the latest you can upgrade to and is considered better with more bug fixes and features than any of the other previous versions.
If you are still concerned contact TAC.
03-08-2022 12:40 AM
@Dhikra Marghli No. The FMC must be the same version or higher than the devices it manages. So you will have to upgrade the FMC to 6.6 as well.
03-08-2022 01:43 AM
Both the solution works, which ever works for you, since both are valid,
as mentioned FMC higher version can have compatability with Lower version ( check the firepower compatability)
upgrading to new code 6.6 have advantage lot of bugs fixed and new GUI screens (Blue) and fast also.
when you moving from OLD to new version always suggest to read release noted and comptability.

Another note, before upgrade to new version, make sure no changes and take the config backup.
Also make sure no pending sync from cisco updates.

@Dhikra Marghli backup both, especially the FMC.

@Dhikra Marghli are you referring to the ASA software?, that can be found here
https://software.cisco.com/download/home/284143129/type/280775065/release/9.14.3%20Interim
You should really plan on upgrading to a version newer than 6.2.3.x, so many bug fixes and better features.

ASA Holds the Firepower Module (it does not contain FMC) so you need to look for the firepower which can support ASA ?
Look at the document table 8. ASA or FTD, and Firepower 4100/9300 Compatibility
CISCO 4000. !!! - not sure what is the model ( you mean Firepower FTD ?)
03-07-2022 05:02 AM
The FMC 4000 supports up to FMC version 6.6.
