Hello All,
I am new to Checkpoint looking for all the valuable suggestions from everyone. We have a site in London office which is hosting a SMS server with two security gateways whereas Noida office just have two security gateways. Both sites have different networks and subnets. The SMS at London is responsible for managing all the security gateways. Due to some reasons, we are shutting down our London office by next week and we need to move SMS VM (Hyper-V hosted) to Noida site. For we did following:
1. Added a new interface to original VM in hyper-v and SMS with the new IP address of Noida site.
2. Copied the VM to Noida, imported in hyper-v, up and running, setup DNS etc.
3. Followed sk73120 on how to migrate the management database to a machine with a different IP address, sk98530 on how to generate a security management license and applied the license to the VM in Noida.
No matter what we did, we could not manage to establish a communication between the SMS and security gateways at both sites. We also tried setting up a HA approach but failed at the first step because when creating a second checkpoint host entry, we couldn't fix SIC errors. That part shows "SIC initialized but trust not established".
I request you all to please provide valuable inputs as I am absolute beginner in the world of checkpoint. We only have this week to complete the work and then we are loosing the only working SMS (at London site) next week.
