Upgrading the GSS Software
This appendix describes how to upgrade the GSS software to a new software
version. To upgrade the software, you must do the following:
•
Have access to the GSS download area of the Cisco software download site
and to Cisco.com.
•
Be familiar with the proper procedure for updating your GSS devices and
know the CLI commands required to execute the backup.
To take full advantage of all of the features and capabilities of the software
release, we recommend that you upgrade all GSS devices in your network within
the same time frame, starting with the primary GSSM. This upgrade sequence
ensures that the other GSS devices properly receive configuration information
from, and are able to send statistics to, the primary GSSM.
This section contains the following procedures:
•
Verifying the GSSM Role in the GSS Network
•
Backing up and Archiving the Primary GSSM
•
Obtaining the Software Upgrade
•
Upgrading Your GSS Devices
The GSS software upgrade requires that you complete each of these procedures in
the order shown in this appendix.
