I want to side-grade from CP R54 on Solaris to CP R54 on SecurePlatform.

I read and tried the suggestions in 'How to Upgrade a Management Server' February 2003 from Check Point.

http://secureknowledge.checkpoint.com/pub/sk/docs/public/firewall1/ng/pdf/upgrade_mgmt_srvr.pdf

It is important that we could reuse the internal CA since we created a lot of certificates on USB tokens which are spread over the world.

After I installed everything on the secureplatform and I open the management client, I open the object of the management station and get the following error:

There is a severe Certificate Authority error, the trust model is corrupted.

To recover the CA, proceed as follows:

1. On the Management Server, reset the modules.

2. Run command line: "fwm sic_reset" to clean the registry and delete database files

3. Using cpconfig, recreate the Certificate Authority

4. Re-build Check Point's Modules trust and IKE certificates.

Any ideas what I could do to prevent recreation of CA and IKE certs?

Any help would be appreciated.
