Typically, when you upgrade the Security Management Server, you install and configure a fresh
R77 installation on a new computer and then migrate the database from the original machine.
What is the correct order of the steps below to successfully complete this procedure?
1) Export databases from source.
2) Connect target to network.
3) Prepare the source machine for export.
4) Import databases to target.
5) Install new version on target.
6) Test target deployment.
A.
3, 1, 5, 4, 2, 6
B.
5, 2, 6, 3, 1, 4
C.
3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 2
D.
6, 5, 3, 1, 4, 2
Shouldn’t we first connect the target to the network in order to check the deployment?

Hmm..probably its the last, assuming it has the same IP so you CANNOt connect it to the network without removing the original(old) one first

What about B?
Assuming that “Install new version on target” means a new fresh Security Management Server installation, the answer B really makes sense.

Think C is the correct
you sould connect to the network after you’ve tested that everything is OK with your installation

Edecus you don’t connect target machine to your network before importing config to it.

You connect the target machine to the network last because more than likely you want to keep the same IP addresses. You deploy the target machine using a new vlan which does not interfere with any IPs on the current source machine , do the export, test the deployment and finally join the two machines to the original VLAN . C is the right answer

Options are really strange.
I would keep down time as short as possible even if logging is local (FW) until SMS comes back online (in distributed deployment).
And while C option is probably the best from all how is Target Deployment tested without connecting it to network?

Answer is A:
see Advanced Upgrade and Database Migration: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R77/CP_R77_Gaia_Installation_and_Upgrade_Guide/16535.htm
Migration Workflow
This section includes a procedural overview for database migration and continues with detailed procedures for each platform. Also included are special procedures for migrating:
* A secondary Security Management Server
* To a server with a different IP address
* SmartReporter
* SmartEvent
Migration Workflow
1.Prepare the source Security Management Server for export.
2.Install the R77 Security Management Server or a standalone deployment on the target server.
3.Export the management database from source Security Management Server.
4.Import the management database to the target Security Management Server.
5.Test the target deployment.
6.Connect the target Security Management Server to the network.
