as i see on checkpoint documentation the upgrade will be done directly from the chassis. My question is the vsx and vs are managed by server management . could you please tel me if there is a required action from the server management after the upgrade from the chassis.

if you have any experiance for this upgrade you are welcom

Best regards

As the major version from the Check Point Security Management point of view is the same, you shouldn't need to do anything there.

Think you very much for you help : could you tell me a bout downgrade from R76SP.50 to R76SP.30 .

it is mandatory to upgrade Firmware for the chassis  after upgrade also .

best regards

Downgrade should be done via rollback to pre-upgrade snapshot. There is no change on the mgmt side.

If you are referring to SSM firmware, keeping this to the latest version (regardless of software version) is always a good idea.
