Release Notes for the Passport 8600 Release 3.7.6
• To join a cluster after a /boot/delete process, use the following steps:
1 Before you use
/boot/delete, make sure all the HA options (ha, aa,
and clusterxl in the
/cfg/sys/net/vrrp/ menu) are disabled.
2 After the
/boot/delete, make sure that you do not see the deleted host
in the
/cfg/sys/cluster/cur menu.
3 If you see the deleted host in the above step, then enter the CLI command:
/cfg/sys/cluster/host#/delete/apply
4 If you have already used join on the first host (the host that used the new
command during initial configuration) after using
/boot/delete to
remove it, then you must follow the procedure below:
a Ensure that your configuration is intact.
b Disable all HA options (ha, aa, and clusterxl in /cfg/sys/net/vrrp/
menu).
c boot/delete the second host (the host that used the
join command
during initial configuration).
d Repeat step 3.
e Join the second host back to the cluster.
f Make sure configuration is intact.
g Enable whatever HA options you want.
• Check Point Radius Authentication in Active-Standby configuration. In the
Active-Standby configuration, change the Radius Server configuration to
accept the request from all Virtual IP and Real IP addresses of the interface in
which the Radius Server is connected.
• If you already have an SDM firewall with traffic running through it, traffic is
disrupted when you join a new SDM firewall to the cluster until you complete
the entire network configuration.
• When you enable the SmartUpdate Mode, all the disk partitions must become
read-write. In some instances, this may not happen.
Please verify that all disk partitions are read-write/read-only by executing the
command from Figure 1 at the root prompt.
