A physical gateway can either run in VSX mode or not.
If it is in VSX mode, you create one or more virtual systems that run on that physical gateway.
Highly recommend starting with the VSX Admin Guide: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R80.30/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R80.30_VSX_AdminGuide/html_frameset.htm

The main point here is that to be able to create a VS you need to define your gateway or cluster as a VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster in SmartConsole.
the: set vsx on
command does nothing but disable some CLI functions and the WebUI.
Be aware that for VS's you need additional VSX licenses, running only 1 VS does not require additional licenses.
