Hi there,

Is it possible to move a SmartCenter server from behind the Cluster
into (behind) a standalone firewall server? I have a firewall cluster
which contains two cluster member and the SmartCenter is located behind
this cluster. Recently, I had so-called 'break' the cluster which I
removed one of the cluster member to become a standalone firewall in a
new network. I have only one SmartCenter and I do not have a spare
machine as a SmartCenter. What I would like to know if it is possible
to move the SmartCenter from behind the firewall cluster into (behind)
a standalone firewall (formerly a member cluster) in a new network,
while still able to manage cluster and the standalone firewall?

I knew not many people do this but I wish if someone out there can give
me an enlightenment about this.

Hi.
If I understand correctly you are basically want to change an IP for
the SmartCenter.
If so, all you need is just to change the IP for the SmartCenter and
make sure that you have SIC (Secure Internal Communication) between the
fw module and the SmartCenter. You will need to open some ports on the
firewall which is hiding the SmartCenter.
