Remote R60 to R65 Upgrade

I am a Check Point newbie so I apologize if this is a dumb
question.  I
need to upgrade our SPLAT NGX R60 firewall to R65.  Is it
possible to
perform the upgrade remotely?  I was planning on using Putty
to ssh into
the firewall and perform the upgrade by copying the .iso
image to the
firewall and then mounting the image and running patch add
cd.  Is this
possible to do remotely or will I loose connectivity during
the upgrade
process?

 

Thanks for the help.

hi,

if this system ist not your management (smartcenter) server
you can 
use smart-update if you have this feature enabled for the
upgrade.
