One of my clients have 2 GSS 4900 running ver 4.1(1)
I can not get the gss service running properly in the one running gssm-secondary. Gssm service looks like it starts but if I check "gss status" och "show system status" in it is waiting for configuration data
NTM-GSS-002.nt.se#show system-status
Cisco GSS - 4.1(1) GSSM - standby [Tue Nov 12 16:10:21 UTC 2013]
Registered to primary GSSM: 10.16.0.15
Routing component waiting for configuration data (wait a minute). [runmode = 3]
START SERVER
16:01 Config Agent (crdirector)
16:01 Config Server (crm)
16:01 Database
16:01 GUI Server (tomcat)
16:01 Node Manager
16:01 Web Server (apache)
Ping works fine between the the GSS:es and there is no firewall involved (both are located on the same ip subnet).
I did gss stop and then gss start. Waited for 24 hours but the status is the same.
If I run tcpdump on the secondary I can see TCP and UDP traffic between the primary and the secondary though all UDP packets have a bad checksum warning.
I have no idea on how to t-shoot this. Should I do gss disable, remove this gss from the primary gssm and enable gss again in the secondary?
Any takers?

Hi,
There seems to be some communication problem. You can do the following and see if GSS goes to runmode=5.
On the standby: gss stop gss disable Then, go into the GUI of the GSSM and delete the standby GSS from the resources tab Then go to standby: gss enable gssm-standby x.x.x.x (IP of primary )
Then in the GUI of primary GSSM, you will again see the standby in the resources tab. Click on it, and check on the activate button, then hit submit. Make sure the standby goes to runmode 5 under "gss status" output.
If this doesn't work then you can try the below:
Go to the GUI of the GSSM and delete the standby GSS from the resources tab. On the standby: gss stop restore-factory-defaults Make sure you have a console connection so you can do the initial config on the Standby GSS (add IP, etc). Once done, enter standby:
gss enable gssm-standby x.x.x.x Then in the GUI of primary GSSM, you will again see the standby in the resources tab.
Click on it, and check on the activate button, then hit submit. Make sure the standby goes to runmode 5.

Thanks a lot Kanwal! It was that last thing - activate the standby gss - we had forgot.
