a.
Reconfigure the global server load-balancing configuration settings on
the new primary GSSM as described in the
Cisco Global Site Selector
Global Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide
(GUI-based or
CLI-based version)
.
b.
Send DNS queries to the new primary GSSM and ensure that it replies
properly to the queries. If the new primary GSSM replies properly,
proceed to step 13c. If it fails to reply properly, verify the network
connectivity settings and resend DNS queries to the device.
c.
At the CLI of the standby GSSM and of each GSS device in your
network, enter the
gss disable
command to remove the existing
configuration, including the deletion of the GSSM database from the
standby GSSM, and return the GSS device to an initial state. The deletion
process includes removing all previously configured DNS rules and
keepalives.

d.
At the CLI of the standby GSSM, enter the
gss enable gssm-standby
command to configure the GSS device as the standby GSSM in the GSS
network and direct it to the primary GSSM. See the
“Replacing the
Standby GSSM in the Network”
section for details about the
gss enable
gssm-standby
command.
gssm2.example.com#
gss enable gssm-standby gssm1.example.com
e.
At the CLI of each GSS, enter the
gss enable
command to enable your
GSS device as a GSS and direct it to the primary GSSM. Specify either
the domain name or the network address of the primary GSSM. See the
“Replacing a GSS in the Network”
section for details about the
gss
enable
command.
Note
You may want to perform this step on one GSS device at a time to
minimize disruptions on your GSS network.

gss enable gss gssm1.example.com
f.
Register the standby GSSM and each GSS device with the new primary
GSSM. See the
“Activating GSS Devices from the Primary GSSM”
section in
Chapter 1,
,
Managing GSS Devices from the GUI
.
You can now use the replacement primary GSSM in your GSS network.
