This article describes how to fix the error “No Hard Drives Have Been Found” when installing Checkpoint Gaia on ESX.
This is a simple one – I used to work round it by implementing an IDE drive instead of SCSI but actually it’s just due to the SCSI controller type. It happens when you choose a Red Hat machine which in turn sets the SCSI controller type to VMware Paravirtual as shown here below:
All you need to do is go into the VM Settings, SCSI Controller, and change the SCSI controller type from “VMware Paravirtual” to “LSI Logic Parallel” or to “LSI Logic SAS.”
Job done! Screenshots available in SecureKnowledge here.
Some handy bits and pieces for troubleshooting Edge devices. I’ll update this as and when other stuff crops up.
This is quite handy when you haven’t got one to hand. Now if someone would mock one of these up for IPSO / Gaia then we’d be rocking ..
Checkpoint Edge Interface Demo
If you push policies to your Edge device centrally, you need to have the correct libsw files installed on your smartcenter in order to be able to compile the policy. The libsw version directly correlates to the version of firmware running on the Edge so firmware upgrade = libsw upgrade. All the links to the Checkpoint libsw files are contained in one handy list below.
