Hi,

yes, v6.0 is the latest and last OS version for FAZ-200D (or any D series FAZ), from June 2021.

 

If you / your company runs virtualized servers (VMware, MS, ...) I recommend to choose the FAZ-VM next time. As it's resources can be adjusted from the hypervisor side, you will not run into these upgrade troubles again. (Of course, that applies to, e.g., FortiGates as well. But FortiGates offer acceleration SPUs in hardware which on a FAZ are neither necessary nor existant.)
