Chapter 2 Managing the GSS from the CLI
Replacing GSS Devices in Your GSS Network
Replacing the Primary GSSM with an Available GSS
To replace a malfunctioning primary GSSM with an available GSS, perform the
following steps:
1.
Determine if you can wait for a replacement primary GSSM or if you require
an immediate primary GSSM configuration change in your network to
preserve the network configuration as follows:
•
If yes, wait until the replacement GSS is available and configure it as the
primary GSSM. Proceed to Step 6.
•
If no, configure an available GSS device as the primary GSSM. Proceed to
Step 2.
2.
Log in to the CLI of the primary GSSM, enable privileged EXEC mode, and
perform a full backup of your primary GSSM to preserve your current
network and configuration settings (see the
“Performing a Full Primary
GSSM Backup”
section in
Chapter 7,
,

Downgrading the GSSM Database
.
3.
Log in to the CLI of the GSS and enable privileged EXEC mode.

enable
gss3.example.com#
4.
Stop the GSS software running on the GSS by entering the following
command:
gss3.example.com#
gss stop
5.
Remove the existing configuration and return the GSS device to an initial
state, including the removal of all previously configured DNS rules and
keepalives, by entering the following command:
gss3.example.com#
gss disable
6.
If this is a new GSS device, configure basic network connectivity settings
following the procedures outlined in the
Cisco Global Site Selector Getting
Started Guide
, Chapter 3, Setting Up Your GSS. Ensure that you specify the
same hostname and IP address of the original primary GSSM.
7.
Save your configuration changes to memory by entering the following
command:
gssm1.example.com#
copy running-config startup-config
