R80.30 SMS cannot push policy to 1100 appliance

Hi All,

I've inherited a site that has, amongst other things, a bunch of 1100's still running R75.20 (good news is they're slated for replacement within the next two months).

My issue is that, since upgrading the SMS from R80.10 -> R80.30, I cannot push policy to the 1100's anymore.  It fails with "The policy for the selected blades cannot be installed on Gateway". 

According to the R80.30 release notes, the 1100 / R75.20 combo should be supported, and apart from sk154212 I cannot find any reference to this error.  Should also be noted that the only blades enabled on these devices is the IPSEC one.

I know I'm dealing with a very old release that's been out of support for a a couple of years, yet it "should" work?  I'd be grateful for any ideas / suggestions.

Ruan.

Is Check Point R75.20 HFA 71 (R75.20.71) installed ? That was the latest firmware version...

Very good question, I will verify the actual R75.20 release as soon as I'm on-site.

Have a feeling this is a bug and you should get the TAC involved.

What Software Blades are active on your 1100 (specifically on the object defined in SmartConsole)?

Hi Dameon, just the firewall and IPSEC blades are active. Doubled-checked this after going through sk154212.

Is there any layers in the policy, did someone make any changes like that?
Gateways with R7x.x do not support that.

No layers, in fact policies are very simple access policies. I upgraded one appliance to R77.20 and policy pushed fine after that - as you correctly pointed out if this was the issue then push would have failed again.

Ideally I would upgrade all units, but they're deployed in rural areas behind slow / high latency VSAT links, so the risk is just too high at this point.  Kind of hoping I just need to flip a bit on the SMS:-)

Thanks for the responses and suggestions.  We got the go-ahead from the business to upgrade all the remote units, testing shows that in every case the upgrade resolves the issue so this is the path we'll take.
