Hi,
I am new to this board but I am a long time Checkpoint customer since version R77.xx, but I have not done CP gateway on virtual system so your comments will be greatly appreciated.
I have a VM Security Management GaiA server running on Hyper-V for a few years now, and a pair 4200 appliances running R80.40 as ClusterXL Active/Standby function, however the 4200 will be discontinue soon.
I am planning to build two dedicate Dell rack servers running windows server 2016 Hyper-V platform and install 2 VM Checkpoint gateway version R81.10 and set them up as clusterXL just like I have with the 4200. I saw on YouTube that you can install R81.10 on Windows Hyper-V but can it setup to run ClusterXL as active/standby using a dedicate dumb switch as sync interface? Keep in mind it is not a Full HA.
Also can I copy and import rules, objects from 4200 appliances to the new virtual system?
My management security GiaA R80.40 is already running as VM on Windows Hyper-V. Can I upgrade it to R81.10 and still manage 4200 gateway R80.40? Can it also connect to manage new Cluster R81.10 virtual system or I have to create another new R81.10 management security VM for the new virtual system. Again thank for your comments.
