From the known limitations.

Migrating more than one Domain at a time is not supported.

I presume that this is basically the same as always been and that where have VSX where the Base Cluster in one Domain and then VS in other Domains, so that would export each Domain 1 at a time and then import one at a time afterwards then start once all imported.

Same as always been with the VSX.

I had the R80.40 EA running in the LAB. It had made a stabel impression. But I would also wait for the first JHF.

There are great new functions built in. Nice!!!

Thumb up that Check Point included latest CPUSE agent (1848) and cpinfo (914000202) in default R80.40 ISO 🙂

Uninstall EA version and put GA back on. Or, use portable SmartConsole, if you need both in parallel.

Hi Jozko,

Thank you for posting this.

We are aware of this painful issue and are currently working on an updateable SmartConsole.

I hope we will have a positive update on that in the upcoming months.

Upgraded my 3100 appliance at home, looks good, but upgrade took ~4 hours (Standalone deployment), so make sure the wife has plans before upgrading at home 8)

have had the same scenario, did the upgrade of my 2x5600's but before I've made her a list of shopping things 😛 when she was off like 3h I did the cluster upg. all went quite well except ... I've learnt that these days you really rather do that via clish/bash rather than webUI via Chrome 🙂

The R80.40 blink image linked to in sk120193 for management (blink_image_1.1_Check_Point_R80.40_T294_SecurityManagement.tgz) says it is for clean install only when imported into cpuse. When will there be a blink image for upgrade purposes? I haven't checked the gateway image.

Re: Check Point R80.40 has been released!

Blink-based upgrades are part of the road map but are not yet available.

Currently blink images are for clean install only.

Hi Paul.

GW Blink package for R80.40 allows both upgrade and clean installation.
MGMT Blink package for R80.40 allows clean Installation only.

Can anyone comment on the status of local Threat Emulation Gateways with R80.40?

It looks like we and other people on checkmates run into a problem with the download of images:

"Error: Threat Emulation update failed, cannot download Hps Ready Image file for Win10 64b,Office 2016,Adobe DC. Got empty list of available files from download center, and we expected to get files in this type of update."

Hi, Christoph.

TE is not yet supported with R80.40 for local emulation. It is fully supported with R80.40 gateways sending the files to TE cloud.

Local emulation on R80.40 will be supported in Q2.

Cheers,

Kim

Can an r80.40 gateway send files to an internal r80.30 threat emulation appliance ?
