R75 Multi Domain Management - changes in CMA migration
It worth mentioning that CMA migration has been changed since R71.
If you remember, the old way was to collect 5 folders ($FWDIR/conf, $FWDIR/database, $CPDIR/conf, $CPDIR/database and registry) and then import the results with cma_import or through MDG.
Nowadays if you try this on R75 you will fail. New operation requires using migrate tool I have mentioned in one of my previous posts.
The process is documented in R75 Installation and Upgrade guide, page 114 and bellow.
In brief, you have to export CMA to .tgz file with migrate export command. The result file will be processes with cma_migrate script used in the command line.
To be fair, this path works from R71 already.

UTM-1 and Smart-1 fail to reboot after upgrade to R71.30
I have seen something strange today. The customer has had three R71.10 boxes, two UTM-1s and Smart-1. All with original factory images, no funky business.
We have made a routine upgrade via WebUI to R71.30. All three appliances failed to reboot after being "successfully" upgraded. They were stuck with "loading" messages on LCD screens.
We only could boot them after shutting them down with power switch.
I have checked all forums I know and SK DB for this kind of failure I did not find anything relevant. Did you see this kind of issues, guys?

Check Point reads my blog
I have got a call yesterday from Check Point Israel regarding my recent post about R65 to R71 upgrade failure.
That is sweet, guys. A nice "bachura" (hebrew for "girl" or "young woman") asked me for some details and even debug messages on the issue. I will try to get those, but the case is now cold, and the customer is taking another upgrade path.
I wish Check Point support did the same when I have called them.
Anyway, thanks guys, I can see some of my words are making through the filters.

R75 courses are almost here
Some sources inform that R75 instructor kits are now being distributed to Check Point qualified ATC instructors.
Instructor kit is a special books set with the course materials and instructor notes. It allows ATCs to prepare the courses.
Instructor kits are not available for sale.
If this is true, then official R75 CCSA and CCSE courses are to be available very soon.
Stay tuned.

Hi all!
Navigating through multiple Check Point releases may not be easy. The usual questions are: when released, what's new, what is integration with previous releases.
Check Point seems to care about us, here is the visual release map link with PDF document describing all mentioned above.
Thanks, Check Point, I am impressed.
