We currently have 3 data centers, 2 redundant clusters (A & B) being remotely managed by a management server at one of the data centers (A), and a stand alone management server/gateway at the 3rd location (C).

We have purchased the extra licenses for the management server, and clusterXL license for the 3rd data center.

What should l do 1st? 2nd? 3rd?
* Upgrade the single management server/gateway (C) to R62 (same as the other gateways)? * Migrate the single management server/gateway (C) to be managed remotely by the remote management station (A)?
   * Cluster the gateways (C)?
l will be changing the external connectivity in the next month, so this seems the perfect time to perform these migrations/upgrades.

l have already commenced cleaning up the firewall policy on the stand alone unit to make the upgrade/migration as easy as possible.

All 3 data centers will be interconeected via VPN tunnels.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
