Usage Guidelines Use the cms config-sync command to enable registered WAAS devices and standby WAAS Central
Manager to contact the primary WAAS Central Manager immediately for a getUpdate (get configuration
poll) request before the default polling interval of 5 minutes. For example, when a node is registered with
the primary WAAS Central Manager and activated, it appears as Pending in the WAAS Central Manager
GUI until it sends a getUpdate request. The cms config-sync command causes the registered node to
send a getUpdate request at once, and the status of the node changes as Online.
Use the cms database create command to initialize the CMS database for a device that is already
registered with the WAAS Central Manager. Then use the cms enable command to enable the CMS. For
a device that is not registered with a WAAS Central Manager, use only the cms enable command to
initialize the CMS database tables, register the node, and enable the CMS.
Before a node can join a WAAS network, it must first be registered and then activated. Activate the node
by using the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
The cms deregister command removes the node from the WAAS network by deleting registration
information and database tables.
The cms deregister force command forces the removal of the node from the WAAS network by deleting
registration information and database tables. If disk encryption is enabled on the device, it is disabled
after you confirm this action. All data in encrypted file systems and imported certificates and private
keys for the SSL accelerator are lost after a reload.
To back up the existing management database for the WAAS Central Manager, use the cms database
backup command. For database backups, specify the following items:
• Location, password, and user ID
• Dump format in PostgreSQL plain text syntax
The naming convention for backup files includes the time stamp and the WAAS version number.
Note For information on the procedure to back up and restore the CMS database on the WAAS Central
Manager, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.
Note Do not run multiple instances of the cms database backup command simultaneously on a device. If a
backup is in progress, you must wait for it to finish before using the command again.
When you use the cms recover identity word command when recovering lost registration information,
or replacing a failed node with a new node that has the same registration information, you must specify
the device recovery key that you configured in the Modifying Config Property,
System.device.recovery.key window of the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
Note All CMS-related commands are disabled when running the cms restore command.
