Why each option
The cpconfig utility is the command-line tool on Check Point gateways used to configure core gateway features, including enabling ClusterXL for high availability and load sharing. It provides a menu-driven interface for gateway-level configuration.
SmartUpdate (not 'SmarrUpdate') is used to manage software packages, licenses, and upgrades centrally - it does not enable gateway clustering features.
cpconfig is the Check Point configuration utility run on the Security Gateway that presents an interactive menu allowing administrators to enable or disable features including ClusterXL. It is the correct and supported tool for toggling ClusterXL mode (HA or Load Sharing) on a gateway node.
SmartConsole is the centralized management GUI used to define cluster objects and policies, but the actual ClusterXL feature must be enabled on the gateway itself using cpconfig.
sysconfig is a system-level configuration tool used for network interface and OS settings on Gaia, not for enabling Check Point-specific features like ClusterXL.
