Check Point Management Server Migrate from R80.20 to R81.20

We are planning to migrate our management server from R80.20 to R81.20. 

We will perform the below steps on current management server

R80.20 Managemenet Server:

Download and install latest Deployement Agent for R80.20 To download latest Deployment Agent, refer sk92449 

 

import and install upgrade tools from GUI for R81.20, Download the applicable Check Point Upgrade Tools Package as per the sk135172

cpprod_util CPPROD_GetValue CPupgrade-tools-R81.20 BuildNumber 1

The output must be same as build number is mentioned on downloaded upgrade TGZ package.

Now run the verify command to check, migrate is possible or not

$FWDIR/scripts/migrate_server verify -skip_upgrade_tools_check -v R81.20

To Start the database export run the below commands

$FWDIR/scripts/migrate_server export -skip_upgrade_tools_check -v R81.20 /var/log/R8020_to_R8120.tgz

Once the export is completed Check the md5 value

md5sum /var/log/R8020_to_R8120.tgz

Make sure to Copy the exported into your system using WinSCP before shutting down to R80.20 management server.

R81.20 Management Server:

We will perform the below steps on new R81.20 management server.

Copy the R80.20 exported file into new R81.20 Mangement server and do the md5sum

Always Copy in /opt/CPsuite-R81.20/fw1/bin/upgrade_tools/ directory Only

md5sum /opt/CPsuite-R81.20/fw1/bin/upgrade_tools/R8020_to_R8120.tgz

Once the md5 value iss verified, go to the below directory

cd $FWDIR/scripts/

Now run the import command

./migrate_server import -v R81.20 -skip_upgrade_tools_check /opt/CPsuite-R81.20/fw1/bin/upgrade_tools/R8020_to_R8120.tgz
