The installation of R80 Security Management is similar as previous version. This post will use Vmware ESXi as platform to present the installation steps again.
Note: It also works on Vmware Workstation 10 which is the one I tested.
1. Create a new VM
3. First Time Configuration Wizard
Note: During installation, I got an error which told me Cannot install Check Point Security Management Server. It is because of incompatible hardware at least 2 CPUs required. If you see this message, you will have to re-create your vm with at least 2 CPUs and re-do all steps.
