Configuration changes do not take effect immediately. It can sometimes take
up to ten minutes for the other GSS devices in the network to learn about the
new primary GSSM.
8. Enter the gssm database validate command to validate the database records
of the interim primary GSSM.
gssm2.example.com# gssm database validate
9. Exit privileged EXEC mode. The standby GSSM begins to function in its new
role as the interim primary GSSM and is now fully functional. You may now
access the GUI.
Reversing the Roles of the Interim Primary and Standby GSSM
Devices
When the original primary GSSM is available for use in the network, reverse the
roles of the two GSSM devices back to the original GSS network deployment.
Note If your original primary GSSM has been replaced by Cisco Systems, refer to the
“Replacing the Primary GSSM With an Available GSS” section for details about
replacing a primary GSSM with a new GSS device.
To reverse the roles of the interim primary and standby GSSM devices:
1. Log in to the CLI of the interim primary GSSM and enable privileged EXEC
mode.
gssm2.example.com> enable
gssm2.example.com#
2. If the GUI configuration has changed, perform a full backup of the interim
primary GSSM to preserve the current network and configuration settings
(refer to the
“Performing a Full Primary GSSM Backup” section in Chapter 7,
Backing Up and Restoring the GSSM).
