Upgrading the GSS Software
Backing up and Archiving the Primary GSSM
Obtaining the Software Upgrade
Note
OL-10410-01
Before you upgrade your GSS software, ensure that you have a full backup of your
primary GSSM database and that you archive the backup by moving it to a remote
device. The GSSM database maintains all network and device configuration
information, as well the DNS rules that are used by your GSS devices to route
DNS queries from users to available hosts.
If necessary, you can quickly restore your GSS network to its previous state by
performing a full backup at any time. A full backup does not interfere with the
functions of the primary GSSM or other GSS devices.
See the
"Performing a Full Primary GSSM Backup"
Up, Restoring, and Downgrading the GSSM Database
performing a full backup of your primary GSSM. Performing a full backup
requires access to the CLI.
You are now ready to obtain the upgrade file and upgrade the software on a GSS
device. See the
