Hi Checkpoint experts,
I got a question regarding Checkpoint license cores,, we have this license to allow to use 8 cores in a gateway , I understand that is for CoreXL allocation.
1.) Would this also means that we are allowed to use 8 physical cores in Checkpoint VM? Does the license had an effect on physical or hardware cpu core limitations?
2.) And if we only have 3 firewall workers activated , does that mean we are not utilizing the other 5 cores? or those cores were used in some processes?
[Expert]# fw ctl multik stat
ID | Active | CPU | Connections | Peak
----------------------------------------------
0 | Yes | 7 | 192 | 1473
1 | Yes | 3 | 211 | 1369
2 | Yes | 6 | 215 | 1387
[Expert]# fw ctl affinity -l
Kernel fw_0: CPU 7
Kernel fw_1: CPU 3
Kernel fw_2: CPU 6
[Expert]# fw ctl get int fwlic_num_of_allowed_cores
fwlic_num_of_allowed_cores = 8
> Total VM hardware Cores = 8
