Checkpoint Policy Installation failed on gateway. Error code: 0-2000240

Device Information

Appliance: CheckPoint 2200

OS: Gaia

Version R80.30

Type: Standalone gateway

 

Current Utilization: CPU= 3%; Memory 88%

 

Problem

When installing policy from Smart Console, I either got the following error and failed

  • Checkpoint Policy Installation failed on gateway. Error code: 0-2000240
  • Installation failed. Reason: Policy install commit function was unsuccessful due to timeout
  • Policy installation failed on gateway. If the problem persists contact Check Point support (Error code:0-2000108)

 

Appreciate your help in giving possible root cause.

The 2200 is a box with very limited CPU and memory, what does output of these commands show:

free -m

enabled_blades

netstat -ni

The policy installation failure is probably caused by lack of free memory on the 2200 causing the commit/atomic load to fail.

Yeah as I suspected, way short on memory for what you are asking the box to do.  You are 736MB into swap on a box that only has 2GB of RAM.  More RAM will help a lot, although the 2200's are not "officially" upgradeable as far as memory if you get my drift.  If you can't push policy, reboot the box to free up some memory and try again.  Not an ideal solution, but when the box is that far oversubscribed for memory there is not much you can do other than disabling features and occasional reboots.

A 3200 appliance is the recommended replacement...

Upgrading is not an option at the moment. Stick on the current setup 🙂

Disabling some blades could help?

Yes, try disabling IPS first and see how that impacts memory usage after a reboot.  Then perhaps AV.
