You can use these methods to upgrade your Management Servers and Log Servers:

Important:

  • Upgrade with CPUSE is supported only on Check Point computers that currently run Gaia Operating System.

  • Before you upgrade your Security Gateways and Cluster Members, you must upgrade your Management Servers that manage them.

  • You must upgrade your dedicated Log Servers and SmartEvent Servers to the same version as the Management Servers that manage them.

    You must upgrade your Management Servers before you can upgrade these dedicated servers.

  • You must upgrade your Multi-Domain Log Servers to the same version as the Multi-Domain Servers that manage them.

  • Gradual Upgrade is supported only from R7x versions.

  • During the upgrade process in a Management High Availability environment, we recommend that you do not use any of the Security Management Servers or Multi-Domain Servers to make changes in the management databases.

    This can cause inconsistent synchronization between these servers.
