Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81.20 — Question 87

What are the correct steps upgrading a HA cluster (M1 is active, M2 is passive) using Multi-Version Cluster(MVC)Upgrade?

Answer options

• A. 1) In SmartConsole, change the version of the cluster object 2) Upgrade the passive node M2 to R81.20 3) Enable the MVC mechanism on the upgraded R81.20 Cluster Member M2 in CLISH: set cluster member mvc on 4) Install the Access Control Policy and make sure that the installation will not stop if installation on one cluster member fails 5) After examine the cluster states upgrade node M1 to R81.20 6) On each Cluster Member, disable the MVC mechanism and Install the Access Control Policy SmartConsole, change the version of the cluster object,
• B. 1) Enable the MVC mechanism on both cluster members #cphaprob mvc on 2) Upgrade the passive node M2 to R81.20 3) In SmartConsole, change the version of the cluster object 4) Install the Access Control Policy 5) After examine the cluster states upgrade node M1 to R81.20 6) On each Cluster Member, disable the MVC mechanism and Install the Access Control Policy
• C. 1) Enable the MVC mechanism on both cluster members in CLISH: set cluster member mvc on 2) Upgrade the passive node M2 to R81.20 3) In SmartConsole, change the version of the cluster object 4) Install the Access Control Policy and make sure that the installation will not stop if installation on one cluster member fails 5) After examine the cluster states upgrade node M1 to R81.20 6) On each Cluster Member, disable the MVC mechanism
• D. 1) Upgrade the passive node M2 to R81.20 2) Enable the MVC mechanism on the upgraded R81.20 Cluster Member M2 #cphaconf mvc on 3) In SmartConsole, change the version of the cluster object 4) Install the Access Control Policy 5) After examine the cluster states upgrade node M1 to R81.20 6) On each Cluster Member, disable the MVC mechanism and Install the Access Control Policy upgrade the passive node M2 to R81.20

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because it follows the required steps of changing the cluster object version in SmartConsole first, then upgrading the passive node, enabling MVC for the upgraded member, and installing the Access Control Policy while allowing for potential installation failures. The other options fail to correctly sequence the steps or include unnecessary commands, which may not lead to a successful upgrade.
