Upgrade to R80.30 fails

[ken_networks]

Standalone full HA deployment running R80.10 in a test lab environment.

Trying to upgrade to R80.30 using the following guide:

https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R80.30/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R80.30_Installation_and_Upgrade_Gui...

I've exported the R80.30_T200_Fresh_Install_and_Upgrade_Security_Gateway.tgz file from a separate (LIVE) firewall and imported this onto the 2nd cluster member as the cluster doesn't have internet connectivity.

When attempting to upgrade (right click and selecting 'Upgrade') the installation fails shortly after.  Here is a copy of the install log:

[11/08/19 - 15:44:59][18264 4126043024]:------ Installing: ------

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Is your CPUSE Gaia Deployment Agent out of date? I've seen weird issues when there isn't a new enough version to support the package you are trying to use.

This was the issue.

Once the deployment agent was up to date, the upgrade worked successfully.

Did you try upgrading the Primary Standalone Member and then synchronize to a clean installation of a Secondary Standalone Member?
