• Select n to instruct the software not to restore GSS network information
to the GSSM. If you choose not to restore the GSS network information,
you must reenable each device, then reregister the device with the
primary GSSM. Refer to the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started
Guide for details.
Note Disabling and enabling each device, then reregistering the device with the
primary GSSM, may result in a temporary network service outage.

8. Use the gss status command to confirm that the primary GSSM is up and
running in normal operation mode (
runmode = 5).
After you restore a backup file in which you did not preserve the GSS network
information, note the following configuration changes in the primary GSSM GUI:
• All previous associations established between a GSS device and a location are
removed. When you access the Modifying GSS details page (Resources tab)
of the primary GSSM GUI, each GSS location is set to “Unspecified”. If
necessary, reestablish the association between a GSS device and location on
the Modifying GSS details page as described in the Cisco Global Site
Selector Administration Guide.
• For a DNS sticky configuration, all favored peer associations established
between a local GSS node and a remote GSS peer are removed. When you
access the Global Sticky Configuration details page (Traffic Mgmt tab) of the
primary GSSM GUI, each local GSS node favored peer is set to
“Unspecified”. If necessary, reestablish the association between each local
GSS node and its favored peer as described in the Cisco Global Site Selector
Global Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide.
