I do not mean any dis-respects but unless the Checkpoint engineer has actually tested this in the lab environment, his advise does not carry any weigh. I know a few of checkpoint SEs who have no hand-one experiences and just spewed out stuffs on Checkpoint literatures with nothing to backup when you pinned them down to a specific issue. I've had numerous issues with SPLAT 2.6 kernel in both gateways and Provider-1. It seems like in 2.6 kernel, the cpd process is binded to a single core while the rest of the CPU cores stay idle. Specifically with Provider-1 2.6 kernel, I could NOT migrate CMA from NG AI R55 into this P-1 SPLAT 2.6 kernel. The migration is successful but the CMA refused to start. Happened to multiple CMAs too. I HAVE NO SUCH ISSUES WITH PROVIDER-1 SPLAT 2.4 WITH HFA-02/249 SYSTEM. At this point, I would stay away from splat 2.6 kernel. It is extremely unstable. That's my 2c.
