This section contains the following procedures:

• Replacing the Standby GSSM in the Network
• Replacing a GSS in the Network
Replacing the Primary GSSM in the Network
To replace a malfunctioning primary GSSM in your GSS network to regain GUI
management, determine if there is a standby GSSM available in your network:
• If you have a standby GSSM that you can convert to the primary GSSM,
proceed to the
“Converting the Standby GSSM to a Primary GSSM” section
• If you do not have a standby GSSM but do have an available GSS that you can
convert to the primary GSSM, proceed to the
“Replacing the Primary GSSM
With an Available GSS” section.
Converting the Standby GSSM to a Primary GSSM
Note Ensure that the designated primary GSSM is either offline or configured as a
standby GSSM before you attempt to enable the standby GSSM as the new interim
primary GSSM. Having two primary GSSM devices active at the same time may
result in the inadvertent loss of configuration changes for your GSS network.
To convert the standby GSSM to a primary GSSM:
1. If possible, log in to the CLI of the primary GSSM, enable privileged EXEC
mode, and perform a full backup of your primary GSSM to preserve your
current network and configuration settings (refer to the
“Performing a Full
Primary GSSM Backup” section in Chapter 7, Backing Up and Restoring the
GSSM).
2. Log in to the CLI of the standby GSSM and enable privileged EXEC mode.
