High Availability (200D & 200D PoE)
Currently i have 2 fortigate firewall models 200D & 200D PoE. I want to perform High availability between both the firewalls.
If it is possible than it is fine, If it is not than please tell me the reasons.

Yes, you can implement HA on 200D. All you need is to have the knowledge of implementing HA, if not, I can help you.

You did not get my question.
Note that 1 model is 200D that is non PoE and the other one is 200D that is PoE.
Now HA has to be configured between these 2 firewalls that are 200D non PoE & 200D PoE.

hi,
officially, for a HA cluster to form IDENTICAL hardware is required. Insofar, your question in valid and I'm afraid you will not like the answer.
BUT...starting in FOS v5.4 (or even v5.2) Fortinet introduced a setting to be able to ignore hardware differences in HA. I think it's an 'exec' command, the Handbook or CLI RefGuide will give you the exact syntax. I'm not sure it will work in your case but it's worth a try.

Ede has stated it right, same hardware ,model, version.
The cmd he's referencing
exec ha ignore-hardware-revision
http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/viewContent.do?externalId=FD35376&sliceId=1
Since in your question and what was propose these are not-like-is models with minor revisin, so I don't think that cmd will work and here's why.
The POE model get system status will show a "different" output than the non-POE model. Just my 2cts

The answer is in the command. "Hardware revision", not "hardware version".
