80.10 to 80.20 Pre-Upgrade Verifier

[Kevin_Werner]

I'm attempting to run the 80.20 pre-upgrade verification script on my 80.10 management server, but nothing appears to be happening when I execute it.  I've run the tool in the past with no issues so I am assuming there is a problem with my syntax.   

I'm running ./pre_upgrade_verifier -p $FWDIR -c R80 -t R80.20 and am not getting an output.  The help doesn't list 80.10 as a possibility for the currently installed version so I'm partially wondering if its not supported.

where the Currently installed version is one of the following:
NGX_R65 (aliases: 6.0.1.0)
R70 (aliases: R70_R70, 6.0.1.6)
R71 (aliases: R71_R71, 6.0.1.7)
R75 (aliases: R75_R75, 6.0.2.0)
R75.20 (aliases: R75.20_R75.20, 6.0.2.1)
R75.40 (aliases: R75.40_R75.40, 6.0.2.5)
R75.40VS (aliases: R75.40VS_R75.40VS, 6.0.3.0)
R76 (aliases: R76_R76, 6.0.3.5)
R77 (aliases: R77_R77, 6.0.4.0)
R80 (aliases: R80_R80, 6.0.4.8)

Try "echo $?" straight after executing the script in case you get a non-0 exit status code.

[Kevin_Werner]

Thanks Nicholas, is this correct (below is my output when i ran "echo $?" after running the script)?

#./pre_upgrade_verifier -p $FWDIR -c R80 -t R80.20
# echo $?
0

[Nick_Doropoulos]

Code 0 is translated to a clean exit without any problems or issues. It basically means that your script run successfully.

I will attempt to reproduce the problem at the earliest opportunity and let you know of my findings if they are any different.

If you are already on r80.x then preverifiyng doesn’t make much sense..

[Kevin_Werner]

It pre-specifies R80 to R80.20 as one of the supported pre-verification paths and the pre-verifier has been helpful in the past at identifying issues in my environment

Hello,

Hi Kevin,

were you able to find what was causing the issue?

[emmanuel]

Hi,

In case someone still thinks it's an issue, not it's not cos PUV is not supported for R80.10 upgrade to R80.20. And this is because it's not necessary. Just take your snapshot/backup and run upgrade with CPUSE.

See https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R80.20_GA/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R80.20_Installation_and_Upgrade_...

HTH,

Emmanuel.

Hi Kevin,

Not sure if you solved this, but Im pretty positive that reason is because you did not copy over upgrade tools from R80.20 version over to R80 and then ran the pre upgrade verifier. So, what I did was found the tools online (just search for R80.20 upgrade tools, its on CP site) and once you copy them over to R80 device (you can simply give them full permission and move them over to $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools?R80.20_tools and then execute below command:

./pre_upgrade_verifier -p $FWDIR -c R80 -t R80.20

Im 100% sure it will work.

In case it does not, let me know and Im happy to help you. Just as a reference, below is file content I received when running a tool on R77.30 vm box (file is called pre_upgrade_verification_report.txt

Content (not that this matters to you personally, but just to give you an idea :))
