f. Register the standby GSSM and each GSS device with the new primary
GSSM. Refer to the
“Activating GSS Devices from the Primary GSSM”
section in Chapter 1, Managing GSS Devices from the GUI..
You can now use the replacement primary GSSM in your GSS network.
Replacing the Primary GSSM With an Available GSS
To replace a malfunctioning primary GSSM with an available GSS:
1. Determine if you can wait for a replacement primary GSSM or if you require
an immediate primary GSSM configuration change in your network to
preserve the network configuration.
• If yes, wait until the replacement GSS is available and configure it as the
primary GSSM. Proceed to step 6.
• If no, configure an available GSS device as the primary GSSM. Proceed
to step 2.
2. 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).
3. Log in to the CLI of the GSS and enable privileged EXEC mode.
gss3.example.com> enable
gss3.example.com#
4. Use the gss stop command to stop the GSS software running on the GSS.
gss3.example.com# gss stop
5. Use the gss disable command to disable the GSS. This command removes the
existing configuration and returns the GSS device to an initial state, including
the removal of all previously configured DNS rules and keepalives.
