Before you continue with the upgrade procedure, verify that the roles of the
designated primary and standby GSSMs have not changed. The changing of roles
between the designated primary GSSM and the standby GSSM is intended to be
a temporary GSS network configuration until the original primary GSSM is back
online.
To verify the role of the current primary GSSM and the standby GSSM, perform
the following steps:
At the CLI of the current primary GSSM, enter the following commands:
1.
gssm1.example.com# cd /home
gssm1.example.com# type ../props.cfg | grep -i fqdn
The following output appears:
controllerFqdn= domain_name
2. Based on the output value for controllerFqdn, follow these guidelines:
If the value of the domain name or IP address is the current primary GSSM
•
in your network, then the current primary GSSM and standby GSSM
configuration is the original configuration and no further action is needed.
See the "Backing up and Archiving the Primary GSSM"
If the value of the domain name or IP address is the current standby GSSM in
•
your network, then the current primary GSSM and standby GSSM
configuration is not the original configuration. In this case, you must reverse
the roles of the primary and standby GSSM devices to those of the original
GSS network deployment. See the
Primary and Standby GSSM Devices"
GSS from the CLI.
If the value of the domain name or IP address is not the current primary
•
GSSM or the standby GSSM in your network, this indicates that the device is
not a primary GSSM or is no longer on the network. No further action is
required. See the
The next step is to ensure that you have a full (and current) backup of the primary
GSSM database and that you archive this backup. Proceed to the
