Have you ever needed to disable a cluster in Check Point? Well, I had a situation where two IP 5070 appliances were really giving us some problems. It always seems to revolve around clustering with Check Point in my recent troubleshooting experiences. Well, there are two places you need to go to disable clustering. First in is the Dashboard, and second is in the OS. See below what I did to disable clustering on SecurePlatform.
[Expert@CheckPoint]# cpconfig
This program will let you re-configure

(8) Disable Check Point SecureXL

(10) Automatic start of Check Point Products

Enter your choice (1-11) :7
