Configure the current primary GSSM as the standby GSSM. Use the gssm
primary-to-standby command to place the primary GSSM in standby mode.
gssm1.example.com# gssm primary-to-standby
(Optional) Power down the primary GSSM by entering the following
command:
gssm1.example.com# shutdown
Exit from the CLI of the primary GSSM.
Log in to the CLI of the standby GSSM and enable privileged EXEC mode.
gssm2.example.com> enable
Configure the current standby GSSM to function as the temporary primary
GSSM for your GSS network. Use the gssm standby-to-primary command
to reconfigure your standby GSSM as the primary GSSM in your GSS
network.
gssm2.example.com# gssm standby-to-primary
After entering the gssm primary-to-standby command, you should
ensure that at least 1 minute passes before you enter the gssm
standby-to-primary command in order to allow time for proper GSS
device synchronization.
Configuration changes do not take effect immediately. It may take up to 10
minutes before the other GSS devices in the network learn about the new
primary GSSM.
Validate the database records of the interim primary GSSM by entering the
following command:
gssm2.example.com# gssm database validate
Exit privileged EXEC mode. The standby GSSM begins to function in its new
role as the interim primary GSSM and is now fully functional. You may now
access the GUI.
