Checkpoint Software and Hardware upgrade

[Rahul_Borah]

HI Experts,

Need your advice on upgradation.

I am going to upgrade checkpoint hardware with software. Presently we are using R77.30 software and 4200 series hardware with Active/Passive configuration. Now we are going to upgrade R80.10 software and 12600 series hardware. So, can you please guide me the process of up gradation (Backup, Restore, HA configuration). Please share your experience.

Thanks in Advance

Regards,

Rahul B

If it is a business critical environment and this is your first tango with the product, I strongly suggest using professional services.
