Chapter 2 Managing the GSS from the CLI
Replacing GSS Devices in Your GSS Network
6. If this is a new GSS device, configure basic network connectivity settings
following the procedures outlined in the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting
Started Guide, Chapter 3, Setting Up Your GSS. Ensure that you specify the
same hostname and IP address of the original primary GSSM.
Save your configuration changes to memory.
gssm1.example.com# copy running-config startup-config
7. Enter the gss enable gssm-primary command to configure the GSS device
as the primary GSSM in the GSS network.
gssm1.example.com# gss enable gssm-primary
8. Determine if you have a full backup of the original primary GSSM database
that can be loaded on the replacement GSS.
• If yes, restore the primary GSSM database as described in the “Restoring
a Primary GSSM Backup” section in Chapter 7, Backing Up and
Restoring the GSSM.
• If no, proceed to step 9.
9. If you do not have a backup of the 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.
