Question 530
A Check Point gateway still runs R80.30 and the change ticket requests R82 directly. The team has not confirmed whether this source version can follow a single upgrade step, and the package is not yet installed. An alternate diagnosis concerns the requirement to identify a management upgrade that includes database export/import, for which a colleague suggests use Advanced Upgrade or migration rather than gateway CDT. Based on the recorded symptoms, which corrective step should have priority?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Upgrade method support differs for gateways and management servers. This directly addresses the documented incident evidence.
Incorrect Answers
CPUSE supports management in-place upgrade workflows, yet that applies to perform a management in-place upgrade with supported tooling rather than the observed issue.
Management upgrading can require exporting and importing database content, but the current evidence calls for a different R82 operation.
CDT uses the Management Server to deploy to gateways; this does not resolve the observed condition.
