Chapter 2 Managing the GSS from the CLI
Changing the GSSM Role in the GSS Network
Reversing the Roles of the Interim Primary and Standby GSSM
Devices
When the original primary GSSM is available for use in the network, reverse the
roles of the two GSSM devices back to the original GSS network deployment.
Note
If your original primary GSSM has been replaced by Cisco Systems, see the
“Replacing the Primary GSSM with an Available GSS”
section for details about
replacing a primary GSSM with a new GSS device.
To reverse the roles of the interim primary and standby GSSM devices, perform
the following steps:
1.
Log in to the CLI of the interim primary GSSM and enable privileged EXEC
mode.
gssm2.example.com>
enable
gssm2.example.com#
2.
If the GUI configuration has changed, perform a full backup of the interim
primary GSSM to preserve the current network and configuration settings
(see the
“Performing a Full Primary GSSM Backup”
section in
Chapter 7,
,
Backing Up, Restoring, and Downgrading the GSSM Database
).
3.
Place the current interim primary GSSM in standby mode to resume its role
in the GSS network as the standby GSSM by entering the following
command:
gssm2.example.com#
gssm primary-to-standby
Ensure that a minimum of five minutes have passed since the last GUI
configuration change before you enter the
gssm primary-to-standby
command to convert the interim primary GSSM back to its role as standby
GSSM.
4.
Exit from the CLI of the standby GSSM.
5.
Log in to the CLI of the primary GSSM from your original network
deployment. The CLI prompt appears.
6.
Enable privileged EXEC mode on the primary GSSM.
