Run upgrade_export on your current SmartCenter and after installing your new Smart Center, run upgrade_import on it to get an exact copy of your config on the new box. Just be sure the new box has the exact same hostname and IP addresses.
The procedure is described on the Upgrade Guide PDF available for download at the Check Point website. As for the extra firewall module you would like to have as standby, you can just install it and be use to enter the same activation key you have on your production firewall module, if it fails, put the spare box, reset the SIC and install the policy... that's it! Hope this helps. Regards On 1/22/07, P.V.Sankar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi List, I have my CheckPoint NGX R60 Firewall running on Solaris 8 platform. My SmartCenter Server & Enforcement module are running on different machines. Now i want to setup standby systems for both SmartCenter & Enforcement Module so that in case some thing happens to the running systems, i can plug the standby systems to my network. Now i would like to know what files & directories need to be backed up from running systems, so that i can make an exact replica on standby systems. Since so much of database is sitting on SmartCenter Server, i don't know exactly what to be backed up. Can you please suggest me step-by-step backup on running systems and restoration on standby systems. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
