The following results are not compatible with the package:

- Machine's configuration is 'LogServer'

- Machine's configuration is 'Secondary'

Note that secondary log servers can only be upgraded after the primary has been done.
Also, it may be that you have to use the non-Blink image to do the upgrade in this case (necessitating installing JHF 84 as a second step).

The primary has been upgraded to 81.20 already , the verification was taken on log server straight after.

Will the blink version fail ?

What is the link for non blink version please ?

They are listed as the bottom of sk173903 under "Additional Downloads and Products."
I believe this is what you're looking for (offline CPUSE package): https://support.checkpoint.com/results/download/124401

I will try the blink package first and if that fails then the manual or best to do manual only ? is there a step by step guide to install manual ?

The basic process using this case is the same as using the blink image (using CPUSE).
You will be able to install JHF 84 after you upgrade to R81.20…which will require another reboot.

The blink image installed as new image but server came up as a primary instead of secondary. Had to install new image R81.20 and then install JHF 84 like you say. Took 4 hours as the first installed had to be reverted from snapshot.
