I'm upgrading from NGFP3 (IPSO and a single SPLAT box) to NG AI R55.
First to go is the management server which currently is a Windows 2000
box.
I've already upgraded the mgmt server to AI and it works fine
afterwards, but I want to get rid of Windows and install it as a SPLAT
mgmnt server instead.
Q1: So just to make sure I understand this correctly, I run an
upgrade_export and FTP the files to a server, "trash" the Windows box
and install SPLAT on it, FTP the files back and then run upgrade_import
and everything is fine again? I know this is in theory, but....?
This has worked for me.
Q2: Will this process also import all licensing information or do I need
to reinstall the licenses?
This has also worked for me.
Q3: Will I need to push the policy on the modules after upgrading, the
upgrade_guide.pdf document on p37 says this; I pushed the present W2K
R55 policy to a less important firewall, and while everything seems ok,
the following errors appears in the log:
Dec 28 13:38:34 FW [LOG_CRIT] kernel: set_timeout_to_MSPI_by_methods:
not in MSPI_by_Methods Dec 28 13:38:34 FW [LOG_CRIT] kernel:
set_timeout_to_MSPI_by_methods: not in MSPI_by_Methods Dec 28 13:38:53
FW [LOG_CRIT] kernel: FW-1: fw_runfilter: wrong number of arguments (0

kernel: FW-1: fw_runfilter: wrong number of arguments (0 != 2) to
function gtp_path_code (58)
I've seen the fw_runfilter error above. Upgrading the enforcement point to
R55 gets rid of it.
I installed the policy on a backup firewall that was not on a network so I
don't know what would have happened if I put it online.
Hope this helps....
