Move a GSS or GSSM to a different network of GSS devices
•
Use the gss disable command to disable a selected GSSM or GSS. This command
removes the existing configuration and returns the GSS device to its initial state,
which includes deleting the GSSM database from the GSS device and removing
all configured DNS rules and keepalives. The gss disable command also removes
any certificate attributes specified using the certificate set-attributes command.
To disable a GSS device, enter:
gssm1.example.com# gss disable
gssm1.example.com# shutdown
To reenable the GSS device as a primary GSSM, standby GSSM, or a GSS, see
the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide.
The restore-factory-defaults command erases your GSSM database and all of its
data and resets all network settings, returning your GSS hardware to the same
state it was in when it first arrived from the factory. If your GSS device is
improperly configured, use the restore-factory-defaults command to restore the
device to its initial state and allow you to properly configure the GSS device for
use on your network.
Before you enter the restore-factory-defaults command, ensure that you back up
any vital data in the database component of the primary GSSM, along with its
network and device configuration information. Use the gssm backup command
to perform a primary GSSM backup. See
Downgrading the GSSM Database
User files will also be deleted when you enter the restore-factory-defaults
command. If you have any important files in the /home directory that you want to
save, use either the secure copy (scp) or ftp commands to copy those files before
you enter the restore-factory-defaults command.
Enter the gss stop command before you execute the restore-factory-defaults
command to stop the GSS software and avoid disrupting in-process activities (for
example, serving DNS requests or sending keepalives).
