[FW-1] NG upgrade on Solaris

[Subash.Bose@FW1-NOSPAMHPA.COM.AU]

Hi Gurus,

    We are upgrading our checkpoint firewall ver 4.1 to NG. First we start upgrade the Management station running on Ver 4.1 on Solaris 2.6. The following steps I took,

 

I have created a exact mirror of the management console tested the connectivity between clients and console then  upgrade the OS solaris 2.6 to Solaris 8.

And applied all recommended patches by Sun as well as Checkpoint.

Start upgrade management console.  I used csh as Check point recommedation.

 

I was getting some error in the upgrade. I checked the /tmp/wrap_log file and it looks like below..
