imaging with isomorphic: ISO+USB keeps rolling back to previous version

nflnetwork29 — Sun, 31 Jul 2022 00:39:20 GMT

i am trying to reimage a 3200 security gateway using latest R80.10 image.

Check_Point_R81.10_T335.iso

it runs thru installer but as it's approaching the finish line it rolls back to my previous image R80.40.

Not much info. How to I find out what's happening?

That message is normal, did you reboot the appliance when instructed and remove the USB key?

ISOmorphic works by wiping the storage, creating a new LVM group and a new "factory default" volume, writing the image to the new "factory default" volume, then restoring from that volume to lv_current. Doing it this way ensures you get exactly the same results after ISOmorphic or after restoring from the volume later. Makes it easy to get to a known, predictable state.

"Reverting To Active Image GAIA"is the fourth step. It's normal. Once it finishes, it should ask you to pull the drive and reboot. Once it comes up, it should be on R81.10.
