3. On the Licenses tab, add Multi-Domain Server licenses as required for your deployment. Click Add to
add a new license or Fetch From File to import a license from a file.
4. Click OK to continue. A message appears recommending that you initialize synchronization between
Multi-Domain Server machines at this time. Click Yes to continue. When the initialization process
finishes, the Multi-Domain Server appears as standby in the Multi-Domain Server contents view.
5. To fully synchronize the new Multi-Domain Server, right click on the Multi-Domain Server in the High
Availability - Multi-Domain Server Contents view and select Synchronize from the option menu.
Defining Domains and Servers
This section describes define and manage Domains using the SmartDomain Manager. A Domain is a Multi-
Domain Security Management object that represents a discrete business entity whose networks are
protected by Check Point security solutions, including VSX. In many Multi-Domain Security Management
deployments, Domain objects represent the physical Domains of a managed service provider or data center.
The Domain is a Multi-Domain Security Management object that manages a protected network for a specific
Domain, emulating the functionality of Security Gateway. The Domain Management Server manages all
Virtual Systems and other virtual devices, as well as any physical Security Gateways and other Check Point
devices protecting the Domain network. An individual Domain can have multiple Domain Management
Servers, but they must reside on separate Multi-Domain Server.
Once you have defined Domain Management Servers for a Domain, you can begin defining Virtual Systems,
other virtual devices and physical devices for your Domain. Proceed to the Working with Virtual Devices
procedure ("Working with Virtual Devices" on page 81) to define virtual devices for a Domain Management
Server.
Creating a New Domain Object
To create a new Multi-Domain Security Management Domain, perform the following procedures:
Starting the Add Domain Wizard
1. In the Domain Contents area of the SmartDomain Manager, right-click on Multi-Domain Security
Management and select New Domain. The Add Domain wizard opens, displaying the General
Definitions page.
2. Enter an object name for the Domain in the Domain Name field. Only alphanumeric characters and the
underscore character are valid.
3. If you are defining a Domain Management Server that will only manage Virtual Systems, clear the
Enable QoS option, as this option is not relevant for VSX environments.
