Hi,

Yes, you are able to upgrade FAZ 300G to version 7.2.4 as per below doc guide.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortianalyzer/7.2.4/upgrade-guide/350652/supported-models

The firmware upgrade path is as below doc guide as well (6.4.13 > 7.0.10 > 7.2.4).

i have one fortigate 401E still on 6.4.xx.

will upgrade to 7.2.x next week.

do i wait until all FGT is on 7.2.xx then i upgrade the FAZ to 7.2.xx ?

[jasonhong]

Since FAZ 7.2.4 is fully compatible with FOS 6.4.x, there is no dependency to upgrade all FGT first to 7.2.x prior to upgrading FAZ to 7.2.4.

i have one new FG100F with version 7.2.5 that cannot be added to my FAZ 6.4.x.

FOS 7.2.5 is not compatible with FAZ 6.4.x.

Please view the full compatibility matrix chart as below.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager/7.4.0/compatibility-with-fortios
Note: The FortiManager can support only ADOMs two versions below and if the FortiManager become upgraded to 7.2 and keep an ADOM at 6.2 which is not supported then it will be impossible to be upgraded. All upgrades of the ADOMs are made manually and are not part of the upgrade of the firmware.

Best,
