R82 Upgrade Failed Error HV000028: Unexpected exception during isValid call.

reybanger — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 15:59:47 GMT

Hello CheckMates,

I am seeking some help on the topic of Checkpoint R81.20 JHF 118 > R82 inline upgrade in Azure.

I have been attempting to perform inline upgrade on Azure-hosted management, however run into weird issues.

Import of one of the domains into Multi-Domain Management failed with the following error:
HV000028: Unexpected exception during isValid call.

This interrupted the whole import of the Management Database.

TAC doesnt know yet. Anyone have seen something like this?

Checked few SKs, one mentioned objects that contains omre than 32k of objects, but that is not the case. I do not have so many object in any group.

Appreciate any guidance

CPM log shows errors like this:

Did verification suceed?

Re: R82 Upgrade Failed Error HV000028: Unexpected exception during isValid call.

reybanger — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 14:01:43 GMT

Without this, it would not work, so yes, it did succeed

Did TAC suggest anything yet?

It's with R&D now. Seems like a bigger issue.

Please keep us posted. But yes, I do agree, if its with R&D, seems like a bigger problem.
