Re: [FW-1] upgrade to fp3

[Frank Darden]

According to the release notes, if you are running 4.1 SP6, you can cleanly upgrade to NG FP3… We have tried it in our labs, with a high degree of success. When all else fails, just delete all your Check Point product objects from your objects.c BEFORE you do the upgrade..   ======================================= Frank Darden Chief Technology Officer Mission Critical Systems 3320 NW 53rd St. Suite 202 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309 Phone (954)766-2550 x203 Fax (954-766-2580 AIM/MSN FishinCritical  ===========================================   -----Original Message----- From: Mark Moss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 3:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [FW-1] upgrade to fp3   I’ve never got the upgrade from 4.1 to FP3 to work.  The best route I have found is.   Upgrade IPSO to 3.5 FCS10.  This supports both 4.1 and NG. In case you have to roll back.   Make sure 4.1 is at least sp5a or sp6.   Run the Nokia upgrade (complete bundle) to FP2.  Straight forward.  Use the console cable or you’ll be in trouble.  Nokia have a document on this.   Finally run the FP3 upgrade.   Done this many a time and works each time.  Do not remove any old versions of NG.   A few things to be careful if you are using the SMTP security server on 4.1.  In NG the settings are now in the firewall object.  These revert back to the default after an upgrade and over-ride any previous settings made in the cpconfig program.   This should get you going.  At worst you can always roll back lang=EN-GB style='mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>   Mark     -----Original Message----- From: Mehta, Phoram [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 October 2002 17:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW-1] upgrade to fp3   Does anybody have a step-by-step procedure (with common problems and tweaks) to upgrade FW-4.1 to FP3 on IPSO3.4.1-fcs10. So basically I have to upgrade the IPSO also simultaneously to 3.6. What I am looking for is the right way to do it. I mean can I go to 3.6 from 3.4.1 straight away? Similarly how about 4.1 to FP3.     I am sure there are enough Pros who have done this many times and exactly know the procedure without experiencing lot of downtime(I have only one nokia box) so I cannot do a fresh install on one box and upgrade it from there.
