Memory increase in FW's model SMB 1800 after updating to R81.10

[Luis1980]

Hello everyone.

After upgrading to R81.10 in a backup center environment 2 FW's model SMB 1800, it has an increase in memory which is not normal for the use they have. One of them is exceeding 80%, the TAC is investigating but they do not give any clear answer. Can someone help with this issue. Thank you.

This is Check Point's 1800 Appliance R81.10.05 - Build 301

R81.10.05 (996001301)

Hi

In General, if you open an SR and you feel it's going nowhere, you can ask for R&D involvement (Task)

After Briefly looking into it (we are still looking) we found that the memory reserved for some processes was increased (double) than in previous build. it's not a real issue as the memory is just reserved not allocated, and can be freed if needed. it does however change the amount of memory presented as "Free".

This will explain part of the "lost memory" you see. 

TAC remark are only relevant in cases Sizing is a problem. many many host and concurrent connection.

If you feel this is not the case, and TAC answers and not satisficing, please contact us.

thanks
