Replacing GSS Devices in Your GSS Network
12. If you do not have a backup of either the interim or original primary GSSM
database:
a. Reconfigure the global server load-balancing configuration settings on
the new primary GSSM as described in the Cisco Global Site Selector
Global Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide.
b. Send DNS queries to the new primary GSSM and ensure that it replies
properly to the queries. If the new primary GSSM replies properly,
proceed to step c. If it fails to reply properly, verify the network
connectivity settings and resend DNS queries to the device.
c. At the CLI of the standby GSSM and of each GSS device in your
network, enter the gss disable command. This command removes the
existing configuration, including the deletion of the GSSM database from
the standby GSSM, and returns the GSS device to an initial state. The
deletion process including the removal of all previously configured DNS
rules and keepalives.

d. At the CLI of the standby GSSM, enter the gss enable gssm-standby
command to configure the GSS device as the standby GSSM in the GSS
network and direct it to the primary GSSM. See the
“Replacing the
Standby GSSM in the Network” section for details about the gss enable
gssm-standby command.
gssm2.example.com# gss enable gssm-standby gssm1.example.com
e. At the CLI of each GSS, enter the gss enable command to enable your
GSS device as a GSS and direct it to the primary GSSM. Specify either
the domain name or the network address of the primary GSSM. See the
“Replacing a GSS in the Network” section for details about the gss
enable command.
Note You may want to perform this step on one GSS device at a time to
minimize disruptions on your GSS network.
