Problems to apply HFA60 on Flash-based systems

Recently, I needed to install HFA60 in Nokia IP290 (Flash-based) 1GB with NGX R65. I followed all procedures of HFA Release Notes document:

To install NGX R65 HFA 60 on IPSO Flash-based:

1. If using 1GB RAM systems, run the following command to extend the /opt RAM disk partition: /sbin/mount -u -o extend_partition /dev/null /opt
   To verify that the /opt partition was extended to at least 500000 KB, run the df command.
2. Verify that there is enough free disk space for the installation of the HFA packages:
   * For /preserve, you need at least 455000 KB free.
   (To find absolute free space: run the df -k /preserve command and subtract the 3rd column Used from the 2nd column 1K-blocks).
   * For /opt and /var, you need at least 382000 KB free.
3. Create a temporary directory on /opt: mkdir /opt/hfa
4. Navigate to the new directory: cd /opt/hfa
5. Download Check_Point_NGX_R65_HFA_60.ipso.tgz (http://supportcontent.checkpoint.com/file_download?id=10349) to /opt/hfa and extract the contents.
6. Delete the *.tgz file to save disk space.
7. Execute: ./UnixInstallScript
8. Reboot the machine.

Unfortunately, I had a lot if problems:

1. After make a copy of hfa file, I didn’t extract it, because of lack of disk space.
2. Looking for log files, I deleted some audit log from Nokia Voyager that allow me to extract all content from hfa file.
3. When I tried to execute: ./UnixInstallScript , I got the error: “Can’t open /opt/CPshared/5.0/tmp/.CPprofile.sh”. I searched for this error on User Center and Google, and I didn’t find anything related with my problem.
4. Looking for the Check Point packages, I found the CPInfo package, that I immediately deleted. Reboot. I tried again, getting the same error.
5. I decided then to remove CPsuite-R65 (maybe this procedure will clean all temp files and directories). I rebooted and try to install the CPsuite-R65 again, using IPSO_wrapper_R65.tgz (according Check Point site: NGX R65 Package for Flash Based Platforms with 1GB of RAM or Disk Based Platforms on IPSO 4.1 and 4.2) with 186MB. I did the upload, extract and install. Didn’t install.
6. After a few hours, I found the package fw1_R65_IPSO.tgz (NGX R65 Package for Flash Based Platforms with 512 MB of RAM on IPSO 4.1 and 4.2) with 77MB. So, I uploaded, extracted and installed, rebooted, and in the end, everything works.
7. Immediately I applied the HFA60, following the procedures above, with success.
8. I lost almost 4 hours with this little problem.

Conclusion

The Check Point site shows some confusing information about packages, ipso, and missing for Release Notes files.
