How to remove config lock in Checkpoint IPSO?
How to remove config lock in Checkpoint IPSO?
I was trying to set clock on my checkpoint firewall but it was letting me do that. Every time I enter the set command it gives me error, config-lock has been taken by another user. I couldn't figure out the other user. So I had to remove the config lock with following steps:
NokiaIPSO25>set config-lock on override
NokiaIPSO25>set config-lock off
NokiaIPSO25>exit
Now you have rights to make the changes.
"set config-lock on override" is similar to "lock database override"
"set config-lock off" is similar to "unlock database"
I hope it helps!

What is the location for log files in Checkpoint R80?
What is the location for log files in Checkpoint R80?
I just upgraded my checkpoint to R80.10. It was on R77.20 earlier. After few days I started to see alerts on solar wind about log space to be over utilized.
So I checked the usual location for log folder but did not find any log file there. The usual location is :
But there was nothing. It was because of the old log files I had when I was running 77.20. So I started looking for that location. And here it is for you:
/var/log/opt/CPsuite-R77/fw1/log
This location has the old log files that were present while you were running old OS.
