R82.10 ISO download issue

[StevePearson]

I'm trying to test with virtual SMS on VMware.

I've downloaded the latest ISO image "Check_Point_R82.10_T467.iso" but it refuses to boot when attached to a new VM. Switched to a slightly older one "Check_Point_R82.10_T464.iso" and that boots fine!

I'm thinking the image is corrupt and having downloaded it 3 times on different machines, I don't think it's me!

Has anyone else had any problems with this?

I cannot comment, but since you mentioned image corruption, did you validate the hash matches?

• SHA256 - df66d4453a1922babc561f87bae2f08bb0a799a1660c21024e6338bf4d844bbe This ISO? 

Powershell cmd: Get-FileHash <file> -Algorithm SHA256

Hi,

Your "This IOS" line goes to the CPUSE download not the ISO, so the hash you show does not match the one I get with the .iso file!

Definitely seems like could be the image...did you verify with TAC?

Hello  @StevePearson 

This was already tested, but we are currently verifying it again.

Please make sure your ISO has the correct SHA256:
37569f4609b0ba1b62eded60a7f7a3a0d78a0008f7551a5c140cd6bb38a49e81

Also, please send me a direct email so we can check this together in your environment:

Thank you!

Hello @StevePearson,
Updating that we verified the ISO again on several VMs and the installation was successful.
To proceed, we will need to review your environment.
Please contact me directly via email so we can continue the investigation.henhe@checkpoint.com

Thank you !!

Hi Hen_Hertz,

I have verified the hash and it matches what you have posted here.

I'll drop you an email directly as requested.

Thanks,

Steve

I finally traced the issue to a corruption of the iso during the upload process to the VM datastore!
The hash of the file I uploaded was fine, but when I downloaded it again to check it, the hash was different! (never had anything like this happen before!)
I have now deleted it and re-uploaded it, and the vm now boots into the installer as expected.
