This should be pretty simple....provided you have proper backups of your SmartCenter Server.

You would just need to install Check Point on your new system, restore from backup, et voila! It should all just work.

It sounds like you might have just installed Check Point without restoring anything from backup - in which case SIC will not be established. For that matter, the server won't have any records of the rulebases, objects, etc.

So which is it? Did you restore from backup? Using which method?

If you don't have a backup, there is nothing you can do. Leave the current firewall running untouched, and create entirely new objects and rulebases.
