100% CPU after policy install

[K.H. Cheung]

Dear all,

I installed policy on a CheckPoint firewall cluster (2 servers with SPlat
R55 HFA12). Afterwards, the CPU of one firewall jumped from about 20%
to 100% and did not fall back even after a few hours. Eventually, I
needed to reboot the firewall to make it normal again.

One day later, my another firewall in the same cluster got the same
problem as well. This time I didn't do any policy installation.

In both cases, no processes were shown to be CPU-intensive when
I ran the "top" commands.

Did anyone face the same problem before or know any solution? Thanks
a lot.

Check Release Notes for last HFA, some problems with high processor loading was resolved in it. May be some of them resolve your problem.

How do you monitor CPU loading?
