Rajveer, Yes, you will need to have downtime on the firewall you are upgrading. The beauty of HA is that this should be minimal due to the HA environment. You should be able to take one of the boxes offline while keeping the other box running. Once it is upgraded, I have seen the swap more successful by taking the current firewall down (unplugging interfaces), putting the newly upgraded firewall into production (plugging in interfaces), and then checking to be sure traffic is flowing properly. This should be a fairly quick turnaround (couple of seconds), and after verifying everything is working, you can then upgrade the other box, and put it back in the cluster.
Good luck, Chris -----Original Message----- From: Rajveer Kushwah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 11:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW-1] Checkpoint Enterprise Installation Query Importance: High Hi All, I am having two IP 330 boxes with 25 users license. I would be upgrading it to unlimited users (new product = Checkpoint Enterprise). My queries are : 1) Do I need to reboot or have a downtime when I install the new checkpoint s/w ? I cannot afford to have downtime or reboots since its an HA environment ? 2) Will CP enterprise(unlimited users) run on IP 330 - silly to ask - but just for confirmation ? Please REPLY ASAP.
