Hi Chris_Atkinson,

Thanks for your help,

But i have some little doubt about the migration both Security Gateway are in production. I have less downtime for activity.

Please guide me if both SG are in Cluster. SG-1(Active) & SG-2 (Standby) respectively. if i perform such migration from R80.20 to R80.40 activity on first SMS then same will do on the SG-2 (Standby) by import concern file then upgrade. After reboot it will works in R80.40. After that to make live SG-2. I have to make SG-1(Active) into standby for performing migration to R80.40. Same migration will be perform on SG-1(Active) Standby. SO that SG-1(Active) also running in R80.40. After publishing the policy to SG-1&2 from Security Management Server.

My Question about after migration the Cluster HA (Active-Standby) & SIC both are working fine ? and also about the config file & Policy remains same after upgrade. SIC should not be broken during such activity.

Thanks in advance for your kind support.
