Migrating VSX R77.20 to R80.30

[Moe_89]

Hi,

We will be migrating to new CheckPoint appliances from existing VSX setup running on R77.20, SMS & 12000 cluster with 20 VS to R80.30, SMS & 23500 cluster.

I am trying to migrate the setup in the lab using R80.30 migration tools to export/import the database.

After importing the database, establishing SIC with the gateways and vsx_util upgrade to R80.30

i am getting an "internal error" when pushing VSX configuration from dashboard.

What could be the issue here. Is migrate export/import not supported for VSX migration ?

When you're done with the migration yo need to run the 'vsx_util upgrade' and then 'vsx_util reconfigure' to re-establish the connection to your new gateways.

Hi Maarten,

This was done however the issue is still the same. R80.30 Jumbo HotFix SK mentions a generic internal error fixed for an issue. Not sure if its related to the issue we are facing. 

Will update the HotFix and give it a try again.

In some scenarios, user cannot discard or publish a work session, receiving the general message "Internal error".

To be honest, I will still keep away from R80.30 for VSX gateway for now. There are a number of issues that still need to be resolved and currently the R80.20 with latest Jumbo, would be my way forward for now.
