Upgrading Multi-Domain Servers in High Availability from R80.20 and higher with Migration

In a migration and upgrade scenario, you perform the procedure on the source Multi-Domain Servers and the different target Multi-Domain Servers.

Notes: This procedure is supported only for servers that run R80.20.M1, R80.20, R80.20.M2, R80.30, or higher versions. For additional information related to this upgrade, see sk163814.

Important - Before you upgrade Multi-Domain Servers: Step Instructions 1 Back up your current configuration (see Backing Up and Restoring). 2 See the Upgrade Options and Prerequisites. 3 Only the latest published database revision is upgraded. If there are pending changes, we recommend to Publish the session. 4 If there are Global Policies configured on the Global Domain: Connect with SmartConsole Check Point GUI application used to manage a Check Point environment - configure Security Policies, configure devices, monitor products and events, install updates, and so on. to the Global Domain on your source Multi-Domain Server Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to host virtual Security Management Servers called Domain Management Servers. Synonym: Multi-Domain Security Management Server. Acronym: MDS.. Reassign all Global Policies to all applicable Domains. Important - Do not publish any changes in the Global Domain until you complete the upgrade to the next available version. This is necessary to avoid any potential issues caused by different policy revisions on the Global Domain and on other Domains. 5 You must close all GUI clients (SmartConsole applications) connected to the source Multi-Domain Server. 6 Install the latest version of the CPUSE Check Point Upgrade Service Engine for Gaia Operating System. With CPUSE, you can automatically update Check Point products for the Gaia OS, and the Gaia OS itself. from sk92449. Note - This is to make sure the CPUSE is able to support the required Upgrade Tools package. 7 Run the Pre-Upgrade Verifier on all source servers and fix all detected issues before you start the upgrade. 8 In Management High Availability, before you start the upgrade on other servers: Make sure the Primary Multi-Domain Server is upgraded and runs. Make sure the Multi-Domain Security Management Servers can communicate with each other and SIC Secure Internal Communication. The Check Point proprietary mechanism with which Check Point computers that run Check Point software authenticate each other over SSL, for secure communication. This authentication is based on the certificates issued by the ICA on a Check Point Management Server. works between these servers. For details, see sk179794.

Important - Before you can install Hotfixes on servers that work in Management High Availability, you must upgrade all these servers.

Procedure:

1. If the Primary Multi-Domain Server is not available, promote the Secondary Multi-Domain Server to be the Primary

   For instructions, see the R81 Multi-Domain Security Management Administration Guide - Chapter Working with High Availability - Section Failure Recovery - Subsection Promoting the Secondary Multi-Domain Server to Primary.

10. On the Primary R81 Multi-Domain Server, import the databases

    Required JSON configuration file

    If you installed the target R81 Multi-Domain Server with a different IP address than the source Multi-Domain Server, you must create a special JSON configuration file before you import the management database from the source Multi-Domain Server. Note that you have to issue licenses for the new IP address.

    Important: If none of the servers in the same Multi-Domain Security Management environment changed their original IP addresses, then you do not need to create the special JSON configuration file. Even if only one of the servers migrates to a new IP address, all the other servers (including all Log Servers and SmartEvent Servers) must get this configuration file for the import process. You must use the same JSON configuration file on all servers (including Log Servers and SmartEvent Servers) in the same Multi-Domain Security Management environment.

    To create the required JSON configuration file:

    Step	Instructions
    1	Connect to the command line on the target R81 Multi-Domain Server.
    2	Log in to the Expert mode.
    3	Create the /var/log/mdss.json file that contains each server that migrates to a new IP address. Format for migrating only the Primary Multi-Domain Server to a new IP address [{"name":"<Name of Primary Multi-Domain Server Object in SmartConsole>","newIpAddress4":"<New IPv4 Address of Primary R81 Multi-Domain Server>"}] Format for migrating both the Primary and the Secondary Multi-Domain Servers to new IP addresses [{"name":"<Name of Primary Multi-Domain Server Object in SmartConsole>","newIpAddress4":"<New IPv4 Address of Primary R81 Multi-Domain Server>"}, {"name":"<Name of Secondary Multi-Domain Server Object in SmartConsole>","newIpAddress4":"<New IPv4 Address of Secondary R81 Multi-Domain Server>"}] Format for migrating both the Primary and the Secondary Multi-Domain Servers, and the Multi-Domain Log Server to new IP addresses [{"name":"<Name of Primary Multi-Domain Server Object in SmartConsole>","newIpAddress4":"<New IPv4 Address of Primary R81 Multi-Domain Server>"}, {"name":"<Name of Secondary Multi-Domain Server Object in SmartConsole>","newIpAddress4":"<New IPv4 Address of Secondary R81 Multi-Domain Server>"}, {"name":"<Name of Multi-Domain Log Server Object in SmartConsole>","newIpAddress4":"<New IPv4 Address of R81 Multi-Domain Log Server"}]
    	Example There are 3 servers in the R80.30 Multi-Domain Security Management environment - the Primary Multi-Domain Server, the Secondary Multi-Domain Server, and the Multi-Domain Log Server Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to store and process logs in a Multi-Domain Security Management environment. The Multi-Domain Log Server consists of Domain Log Servers that store and process logs from Security Gateways that are managed by the corresponding Domain Management Servers. Acronym: MDLS.. Both the Primary and the Secondary Multi-Domain Servers migrate to new IP addresses. The Multi-Domain Log Server Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to store and process logs. remains with the original IP address. The current IPv4 address of the source Primary R80.30 Multi-Domain Server is: 192.168.10.21 The current IPv4 address of the source Secondary R80.30 Multi-Domain Server is: 192.168.10.22 The name of the source Primary R80.30 Multi-Domain Server object in SmartConsole is: MyPrimaryMDS The name of the source Secondary R80.30 Multi-Domain Server object in SmartConsole is: MySecondaryMDS The new IPv4 address of the target Primary R81 Multi-Domain Server is: 172.30.40.51 The new IPv4 address of the target Secondary R81 Multi-Domain Server is: 172.30.40.52 The required syntax for the JSON configuration file you must use on both the Primary and the Secondary Multi-Domain Servers, and on the Multi-Domain Log Server: [{"name":"MyPrimaryMDS","newIpAddress4":"172.30.40.51"},{"name":"MySecondaryMDS","newIpAddress4":"172.30.40.52"}] Important - All servers in this environment must get this same information.
