SPLAT Upgrade error on HA backup

[rob_murray]

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade the backup SPLAT server from NGR55 AI to NGX R62.
The SPLAT server is in another country therefore I cannot put the CD in the drive so I have copied the entire CD contents to the /sysimg directory on the remote server. I then try to run the upgrade using the command "patch add /full_path/CPsupgrade_R62.tgz "

Am I doing this wrong?

the upgrade begins but then very quickly halt with the below error message.
You are in expert mode now.

Hi, your NGX R55 you want to upgrade is a SmartCenter (alone), a Gateway (remotely managed by another SmartCenter) or a stand alone fw (E.g. SmartCenter with Gateway on same machine)

Sorry I should have mentioned that. It is a standalone smart centre.

we have 6 gateways running on Nokia IPSOs and 2 smart centre servers running on Secure platform set up in H.A. I have upgraded the primary but I am struggling to get the upgrade to run on the secondary which is at a remote site. I think i may have to copy the files as an ISO image to the remote box and then nmount it as a CDROM. I will try that and postback if it works or not.

Ok I did mount -o loop NGX.iso /mnt/cdrom then ran patch add cd.

It starts up successfully - goes through the license upgrade then fails at the point when it should detect the checkkpoint products installed. No error message just installation / upgrade failure.
