STEPS:

Prepare your USB.

Use a tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard to delete all partition and format as FAT32 your USB

Set to start as admin the ISOMorphic Tool

Use below Steps (ISOMorphic Steps Credit to Support Center CheckPoint)


Check Point R77.30:
  • Select Iso
  • Set if you want custom config. You need the MAC, IP for MGNT (cant be same with one you will use with your LAN connection, set mask.
  • Cant add any hotfixes
  • Select  USB and continue as per below
Check Point R88.40 (Images from Build 181 and R80.40):
  • Select Iso
  • Set if you want custom config. You need the MAC, set as basic and standalone if will be ALL ONE Machine,  hostname ex gw-2200, IP for MGNT (cant be same with one you will use with your LAN connection, set mask.
  • Add latest hotfix pack and deployment pack
  • Select  USB and continue as per below


In the 'Select source ISO file' field, browse for the Gaia ISO file.




Press ‘Configure’ in order to configure your devices.




If you want to make this USB installation valid for any Check Point appliance, double-click the default entry (Any), or click the 'Add' button for a specific appliance.




Type the MAC address of the device you want to install (in case of a specific device).




Choose your configuration type. This can be Basic, Advanced, Manual:


Basic: You will be able to use pre-defined templates for Security Gateway, Security Management or Standalone (both). Select your product and provide the required info. This will run First Time Wizard with the requested configuration after installation.


Advanced: You will be able to provide a config_system configuration file of your own. This provides you with the means to install any type of Check Point product. First Time Wizard will run with the provided configuration (config_system) after installation.


Manual: You will be asked to perform the First Time Wizard manually after installation completes.

Note: you can choose to provide your own SIC key (in case of gateway installation) or Administrator password (in case of Management installation) and they will be written clear-text on the usb device. By default, the device will randomize these and you'll need to access it after installation and configure them yourself by using the 'cpconfig' command.
Starting from R80, to change the Administrator password, use the mgmt_cli set administrator command. Refer to Management API Reference.

Providing FTW settings to Isomorphic utility results in unattended running of config_system during both Gaia installation and appliance restore to factory defaults.




Configure network access to your device: Hostname, IP address, Default gateway and administrator password:




Select the ‘Additional OS configuration’ checkbox if you want some additional configuration to be applied after First Time Wizard (Basic/Advanced modes) or after after installation (Manual mode). This should be a valid clish script.

Important Note: This clish script should not include any configuration that requires reboot.




Click OK to proceed.


Select your HotFixes by clicking the ‘Select’ button:



Now click the ‘Import’ button and select your hotfixes.

Note:
These should be CPUSE packages. Order is important, make sure it is valid, or consult Check Point support site.
ISOmorphic tool will require to supply offline CPUSE agent tgz file in addition to requested Hotfixes.


Click OK to continue


In the 'Select destination drive' field, select the USB device drive.




Click Go!




Do you want installation to be interactive or unattended? Select your choice:




If you choose an unattended installation, you will see the following warning:




This will completely erase the USB device. Type ‘yes’ if you’re sure you want to continue.




The USB drive will be formatted and prepared. The progress window is displayed.




Wait until all steps are complete and then unplug the USB device from your desktop computer




Do not forget to unplug the USB device from your desktop computer after preparing it.

Important Note: Otherwise, the local drive will be formatted without any user confirmation once your desktop is rebooted.



Install New Clean GAIA

  • Turn Off your 2200 CheckPoint
  • Insert your USB to the USB port at the front (for example I use the top on)
  • Connect serial cable to the RS232 port of your laptop/pc or usb/rs232 adapter.
  • Connect serial cable to the serial port at the front of your 2200
  • Start PuTTY on your PC and set the serial settings as below
  • Click session category and give a name and save if you wish the config
  • Start the connection
  • Power on your 2200 and watch the screen.
  • All going well you will see the 2200 option running the installation until it completes. It will take some time (last one will be to set image to active) 
    At the end you will be prompted that installation finished successfully and orange lights on LAN port will blink in circular mode. 
    You can now turn off your 2200. 

  • Connect the LAN cable to the MGNT port and boo it up!
