Chapter 7 Backing Up and Restoring the GSSM
Restoring a Primary GSSM Backup
6. Confirm your decision to restore primary GSSM platform information or only
the GSS database. This selection enables you to return the primary GSSM
back to the original state prior to the database backup. Platform information
includes all configuration parameters set at the CLI, including: interface
configuration, hostname, service settings (NTP, SSH, Telnet, FTP, and
SNMP), timezone, logging levels, Web certificates, inter-GSS
communication certificates, access lists and access groups, CLI user
information, GUI user information, and property-set CLI commands.
This backup contains a backup of the platform configuration.
'n' restores just the database. Restoring platform files requires
a reboot.
Restore Platform files? [y/n]: y
Perform one of the following actions:
• Select y to restore GSSM platform information.
Note Restoring platform information requires a reboot of the GSS at the
end of the restore procedure.
• Select n to restore only the primary GSSM database and not the GSSM
platform information. If you choose not to restore GSSM platform
information, reconfigure the GSSM platform information from the CLI.
Refer to the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide for details.
7. Confirm your decision to restore the GSS network information for remote
devices activated from the primary GSSM.
Do you want to replace your current GSS network configuration with
the one specified in the backup file? (y/n): y
Perform one of the following actions:
• Select y to restore the GSS network information, such as registered GSS
devices, GSS device status, node information, and IP addresses. This is
the network information displayed in the Global Site Selectors list table
in the Resources tab. GSS network information does not include DNS
rules, answers, and keepalives. Those configuration elements are
automatically restored as part of the database restore process.
