Configure the GSS device as the primary GSSM in the GSS network by
entering the following command:
gssm1.example.com#
gss enable gssm-primary
9.
Determine if you have a full backup of the original primary GSSM database
that can be loaded on the replacement GSS as follows:
•
If yes, restore the primary GSSM database as described in the
“Restoring a
Primary GSSM Backup”
section in
Chapter 7,
,
Backing Up, Restoring, and
Downgrading the GSSM Database
.
•
If no, proceed to Step 10.

If you do not have a backup of the original primary GSSM database, do the
following:
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 10c. 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.
gssm2.example.com#
gss disable
d.
At the CLI of the standby GSSM, enter the
gss enable gssm-standby
command to reenable 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.
gss1.example.com#
gss enable gssm-standby gssm1.example.com
