CLI upgrade guide for R75.40 SPLAT to R75.40 Gaia

using the CLI...

1. upload the Check_Point_R75.40_Gaia.iso file or insert media into the firewall

2. mount the media

[Expert@chkpfw2]# mount /mnt/cdrom

or

[Expert@chkpfw2]# mkdir /mnt/iso
[Expert@chkpfw2]# mount -o loop /var/tmp/Check_Point_R75.40_Gaia.iso /mnt/iso

3. verify backup status

cphaprob stat

4. uninstall something...

  The upgrade wrapper script will force us to chose a new product to install, so uninstall something simple.  I chose Performance Pack.
[Expert@chkpfw2]# rpm -e CPppak-R75.40-00

5. Start upgrade

[Expert@chkpfw2]# patch add cd

6. Reboot

7. Install policy

8. Failover cpha

9. Edit local.arp. Replace the old unicast MAC addresses used by CPHA with the VMAC address associated with the VRRP backup-addresses.
