Chapter 3 Getting Started
Configuring Primary and Standby CDSMs
Step 2 Configure the standby CDSM.
CDE(config)# cdsm role standby
Step 3 Identify the IP address of the primary CDSM.
CDE(config)# cdsm ip 10.1.1.90
Step 4 Initiate the Centralized Management System (CMS).
CDE(config)# cms enable
Step 5 Save the configuration.
CDE# copy running-config startup-config
Step 6 Activate the standby CDSM by using the web interface of the primary CDSM.
The primary CDSM notifies all registered devices that a standby CDSM exists and sends each device the
information it needs to contact the standby should the primary fail or become inactive.
Note You cannot log in to the web interface of the standby CDSM. Its function is to maintain an up-to-date
copy of the primary’s database.
Changing a Standby to a Primary CDSM
Note If your primary CDSM is still operating, you must change its role to standby by executing the cdsm role
standby command before following these steps. You can only have one primary CDSM operating at any
given time.
To change the standby CDSM to become the primary, do the following:
Step 1 If your primary CDSM has failed, enter the following command:
CDE(config)# cdsm role primary
Step 2 Save the configuration.
CDE# copy running-config startup-config
Note If you have recently made configuration changes to the primary CDSM, wait at least the polling interval
before changing roles to ensure that the standby has a record of the most recent configuration changes.
