Hello Everyone,
Im trying to promote my secondary management server running R80.20 to primary as i want to sync another newly installed management server, im trying to follow this sk here 114933 but for the first solution when i execute
$FWDIR/bin/promote_util
-bash: /opt/CPsuite-R80.20/fw1/bin/promote_util: No such file or directory
It shows no such file or directory, now do i create that myself or whats me next step because the second solution as stated below is very difficult to follow -
This one utility does the same as following manual procedure outlined below:
On the Secondary Security Management Server perform following procedure:
- Stop all running Check Point services by running the cpstop command.
- Backup the $FWDIR/conf/objects_5_0.C file.
- Edit the objects_5_0.C file as follows:
- Edit the former Primary Server Object definitions by searching for Primary Server Object name:
Example of the beginning of an object that is called PRIMARY-CP-MGMT : (PRIMARY-CP-MGMT
under section :AdminInfo change
From
:Deleteable (false)
To
:Deleteable (true)
in the same object search for :primary_management and change
From
:primary_management (true)
To
:primary_management (false)
- Edit the old Secondary Object definitions by searching for the secondary management server object name:
under section :AdminInfo change
From
:Deleteable (true)
To
:Deleteable (false)
From
:primary_management (false)
To
:primary_management (true)
There are more steps which i havent copied here but it seems too difficult to follow as i am able to get to the objects_5_0.C file and search for : (PRIMARY-CP-MGMT nothing shows up, i search for "PRIMARY" keyword as well and nothing shows up, and there seems to be hundreds of sections that have ":AdminInfo" keyword in them so no idea which exact part i have to edit so please need help here, just want to be able to sync the newly setup management server successfully.
