@mohan

Assuming you are still running R77.30 in your environment, several steps, including lab staging, might be required:

1. To move from Standalone to distributed, look here: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk61681

2. To consolidate 5 Smartceters into a single one, use cp_merge utility: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk33751

Thanks Val_Loukine,

I am Using CP_merge utility but getting error in importing gateway object.

The following objects will not be imported.

CP
Do you want to see an expanded report y/n [y] ? y

The following objects will not be imported because one of their attributes'
values is not valid. Use Check Point Database Tool to correct the objects on
the source Management Server:
CP : Validation error in field 'Log Servers' at object 'CP' @ 'Network Objects' --> Validation error in field 'Always send alerts to' of element #1 --> The refe renced object 'CP' from table 'network_objects' does not exist in the database

Validation error in field 'Always send logs to' of element #1 --> The referenced object 'CP' from table 'network_objects' does not exist in the database

CP Is my gateway name in Standalone setup
