1

Back up your current configuration.

2

See the Upgrade Options and Prerequisites.

3

You must upgrade your Multi-Domain Servers.

4

You must close all GUI clients (SmartConsole applications) connected to the source Multi-Domain Log Server.

1

Download the R80.20 Clean Install ISO file from the R80.20 Home Page SK.

2

Transfer the R80.20 ISO file to the current Multi-Domain Server to some directory (for example, /var/log/path_to_iso/).

Note - Make sure to transfer the file in the binary mode.

1

Connect to the command line on the current Multi-Domain Log Server.

2

Log in with the superuser credentials.

3

Log in to the Expert mode.

4

Stop all Check Point services:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstop

5

Go to the main MDS context:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsenv

6

Mount the R80.20 ISO file:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mount -o loop /var/log/path_to_iso/<R80.20_Gaia>.iso /mnt/cdrom

7

Go to the installation folder in the ISO:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# cd /mnt/cdrom/linux/p1_install/

8

Run the installation script:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# ./mds_setup

This menu shows:

(1) Run Pre-upgrade verification only [recommended before upgrade]
(2) Backup current Multi-Domain Server
(3) Export current Multi-Domain Server
Or 'Q' to quit.

9

Enter 1 to run the Pre-upgrade verification.

Note - The Pre-Upgrade Verifier analyzes compatibility of the currently installed configuration with the version, to which you upgrade. A detailed report shows the steps to do before and after the upgrade.

10

Read the Pre-Upgrade Verifier output.

If you need to fix errors:

1. Start all Check Point services:

   [Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstart

2. Follow the instructions in the report.
3. In a Management High Availability environment R77.30 and lower, if you made changes, synchronize the Domain Management Servers immediately after these changes (in R80 and above, this synchronization occurs automatically).
4. Stop all Check Point services again:

   [Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstop

5. Run the installation script again:

   [Expert@MDLS:0]# ./mds_setup

   This menu shows:

   (1) Run Pre-upgrade verification only [recommended before upgrade]
(2) Backup current Multi-Domain Server
(3) Export current Multi-Domain Server
Or 'Q' to quit.

11

Enter 3 to export the current Multi-Domain Log Server configuration.

12

Answer the interactive questions:

Would you like to proceed with the export now [yes/no] ? yes

Please enter target directory for your Multi-Domain Server export (or 'Q' to quit): /var/log

Do you plan to import to a version newer than R80.20 [yes/no] ? no

Using migrate_tools from disk.

Do you wish to export the log database [yes/no] ? yes (or no)

Note - If you enter no in the question "Do you wish to export the log database", the configuration is still exported.

13

Make sure the export file is created in the specified directory:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# ls -l /var/log/exported_mds.<DDMMYYYY-HHMMSS>.tgz

14

Calculate the MD5 for the exported file:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# md5sum /var/log/exported_mds.<DDMMYYYY-HHMMSS>.tgz

15

Transfer the exported database from the current Multi-Domain Log Server to an external storage:

/var/log/exported_mds.<DDMMYYYY-HHMMSS>.tgz

Note - Make sure to transfer the file in the binary mode.

1

Connect to the command line on the R80.20 Multi-Domain Log Server.

2

Log in with the superuser credentials.

3

Log in to the Expert mode.

4

Make sure a valid license is installed:

mdsenv

cplic print

If it is not already installed, then install a valid license now.

5

Transfer the exported database from an external storage to the R80.20 Multi-Domain Log Server, to some directory.

Note - Make sure to transfer the file in the binary mode.

6

Make sure the transferred file is not corrupted.

Calculate the MD5 for the transferred file and compare it to the MD5 that you calculated on the original Multi-Domain Log Server:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# md5sum /<Full Path>/exported_mds.<DDMMYYYY-HHMMSS>.tgz

7

Import the configuration:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# yes | nohup $MDSDIR/scripts/mds_import.sh /<Full Path>/exported_mds.<DDMMYYYY-HHMMSS>.tgz &

Note: yes | nohup ... & - are mandatory parts of the syntax.

8

Make sure that on all Domain Log Servers, none of the required daemons (FWM, FWD, CPD, and CPCA) are in the state "down" (the "pnd" state is acceptable):

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstat

If some of the required daemons on a Domain Log Server are in the state "down", wait for 5-10 minutes, restart that Domain Log Server and check again. Run these three commands:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstop_customer <IP Address or Name of Domain Log Server>

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstart_customer <IP Address or Name of Domain Log Server>

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstat

1

Connect with SmartConsole to each R80.20 Domain Management Server that manages the Domain Log Server.

2

In the top left corner, click Menu > Install database.

3

Select all objects.

4

Click Install.

5

Click OK.

1

Connect to the command line on the R80.20 Multi-Domain Log Server.

2

Log in with the superuser credentials.

3

Log in to the Expert mode.

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstart_customer <IP Address or Name of Domain Log Server>

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstat

5

Go to the main MDS context:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsenv

6

Upgrade the attributes of all managed objects in all Domain Log Servers at once:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# $MDSDIR/scripts/mds_fix_cmas_clms_version -c ALL

Notes:

• Because the command prompts you for a 'yes/no' for each Domain and each object in the Domain, you can explicitly provide the 'yes' answer to all questions with this command:

  [Expert@MDLS:0]# yes | $MDSDIR/scripts/mds_fix_cmas_clms_version -c ALL

• You can perform this action on one Multi-Domain Log Server at a time with this command:

  [Expert@MDLS:0]# $MDSDIR/scripts/mds_fix_cmas_clms_version -c ALL -n <Name of Multi-Domain Log Server>

7

Allow the database synchronization to run:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# $CPDIR/bin/cpprod_util CPPROD_SetValue "FW1/6.0" AfterUpgradeDbsyncIndication 1 1 0

Restart the Check Point services:

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstop

[Expert@MDLS:0]# mdsstart
