Upgrade VSX Cluster R80.30 -> R80.40 using MVC

Patrick150781 — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 07:11:17 GMT

Dear Checkpoint community,

currenty we are running our VSX cluster on R80.30 managed by MDS also in R80.30. Since R80.30 is EoS end of September 22 we need to upgrade. While checking the R80.40 feature I've notice the Multi-Version Cluster feature.

Here my Question: "Is it possile to running VSX Cluster in different Version (Active= R80.40 and Standby=R80.30)?"

Thank you for your support.

Best Regards

Patrick

Connectivity Upgrade is replaced by MVC and is the new protocol since R80.40 to upgrade sessions to the upgraded version, in your case form R80.30 to R80.40.

You can check de Install and upgrade guide for the limitations Multi-Version Cluster (MVC) Upgrade (checkpoint.com)
