to instruct the software not to restore GSS network information to the
GSSM. If you choose not to restore the GSS network information, you must
reenable each device, then reregister the device with the primary GSSM. See
the
Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide
for details.
Note
Disabling and enabling each device, then reregistering the device with the
primary GSSM, may result in a temporary network service outage.

Confirm that the primary GSSM is up and running in normal operation mode
(runmode = 5), by using the
gss
status
command.
After you restore a backup file in which you did not preserve the GSS network
information, note the following configuration changes in the primary GSSM
GUI:
•
All previous associations established between a GSS device and a location are
removed. When you access the Modifying GSS details page (Resources tab)
of the primary GSSM GUI, each GSS location is set to Unspecified. If
necessary, reestablish the association between a GSS device and location on
the Modifying GSS details page as described in the
Cisco Global Site
Selector Administration Guide
.
•
For a DNS sticky configuration, all favored peer associations established
between a local GSS node and a remote GSS peer are removed. When you
access the Global Sticky Configuration details page (Traffic Mgmt tab) of the
primary GSSM GUI, each local GSS node favored peer is set to Unspecified.
If necessary, reestablish the association between each local GSS node and its
favored peer as described in the
Cisco Global Site Selector Global Server
Load-Balancing Configuration Guide
