The variables are:
• primary_GSSM_hostname—The DNS hostname of the device currently
serving as the primary GSSM
• primary_GSSM_IP_address—The DNS hostname of the device currently
serving as the primary GSSM
For example, to enable gss3.example.com as the standby GSSM and direct it
to the primary GSSM, gssm1.example.com, enter:
gss3.example.com# gss enable gssm-standby gssm1.example.com
9. Activate the standby GSSM from the primary GSSM GUI to add it to your
GSS network. 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 standby GSSM in your GSS network.
Replacing a GSS in the Network
To replace a malfunctioning GSS in your GSS network:
1. Configure basic network connectivity for the replacement GSS device
following the procedures outlined in the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting
Started Guide, Chapter 3, Setting Up Your GSS.
2. If you want to use the same host name and IP address of the failed GSS,
determine if you have a backup of the startup-configuration file for that
device:
• If yes, reload the backup copy of the GSS device startup configuration
settings (see the
“Saving the Startup and Running Configuration Files”
section).
• If no, reenter the platform configuration following the procedures
outlined in the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide,
Chapter
3, Setting Up Your GSS.
3. If this is an existing GSS device, delete it from your GSS network through the
primary GSSM GUI. Refer to the
“Deleting GSS Devices” section in
Chapter 1, Managing GSS Devices from the GUI.
