Here is what you can do.

1. Make the new management module with the same name as your current machine.
2.  Do an upgrade_export on the current machine.
3. Install management (select only smartcenter) on the new machine and use the exported configuration (advanced install). 4. Create a new checkpoint gateway (new name) for your firewall and provide all required parameters.
5.  Modify your rule base (if required) to push policy to this object.
6. Install vpn-1 pro only on the current machine. (Before that you can uninstall the complete product).
7.  Establish sic with the new management.
8.  Push policy.
9.  You are set to go.

This to note: If you have central licensing, you have to create all new licenses with your new managment IP. This can be done via your usercenter login. If you have local license you have to split the management and firewall license, but it is better to have central license. If you want to give a new name to your management, you will have some issues including the internal CA has to be reconfigured invalidating all the certificates.

I currently have a single firewall running both Management
and Enforcement modules.  I am intending to split this
into a two-server configuration with the Management Module
on a new machine and the Enforcement Module staying where
it is.

How difficult is this to do?  Is there any documentation
or guidance anywhere I should read?


Thanks.
