I haven't seen it posted yet, but your SE or sales rep can get it.

Anyone know if this supports the Dell Perc6 (ie 2950 III) controller for SPLAT? According to Check Point this controller is not certified.

Can you get this version by ordering NGX High-End Security Product Suite (R65) or does this media pack still have the vsx ngx scalabilty pack.

You still need to contact your Check Point SE. There is a cross-licensing issue that has held up the distrobution of VSX R65 to the general public, much to the dismay of the field.

Chillyjim, Thanks.

I finally have had the chance to work with it. The upgrade process for converting a R60 to R65 vsx cluster is pretty slick. I'm working on upgrading four clusters in the next two months.

I did run into a major issue with P1 and VSX R65. There is a patch on the plugin cd, no release notes, or any documentaton with it. If you upgrade your P1 only install the plugin, do not install the P1 HFA02 and the two other private patches for memory leaks like I did. You'll end up rebuilding your P1 like I have to. I did not know about this HFA25 patch on the plugin cd and installed it first, then installed the HFA02 and the other two patches. Now I have to rebuild my P1.
