OL-10410-01
When restoring the primary GSSM from a previous backup, use the last backup
to restore the GSS device network configuration settings as well as the encryption
keys used to communicate with other GSS devices. Restoring the primary GSSM
from a backup returns the device to its exact configuration as of the last backup.
To restore an earlier version of the primary GSSM from a previous backup,
perform the following steps:
Log in to the primary GSSM CLI and enable privileged EXEC mode.
1.
gssm1.example.com> enable
gssm1.example.com#
Verify that your previous backup of the primary GSSM is in a location that is

accessible from the GSSM being restored. Previous backups have a .full file
extension. For details about locating files in a GSS directory, see the
"Managing GSS
Files"section in

command to confirm that the primary GSSM has stopped.
