PROBLEM:

Need steps to create a backup SSP.
Also need procedure to convert SSP from main to backup.

------------------------------------------------------------

SOLUTION:


1) Backup from original SSP
    a) $SSPVAR/.ssp_private
    b) $SSPVAR/etc
    c) /etc/ethers
    d) /etc/hosts

2) Load SSP packages on spare SSP.

3) Restore files from step 1 on backup SSP.

4) Edit ssp_to_domain_hosts and change ssp host name to that of the new SSP. Fix /etc/hosts as needed.

5) Run ssp_config and answer "N" to "Are you currently configuring for the MAIN SSP?"


Basic steps to convert from one SSP to the other:

1) On original SSP, Run ssp_config and answer "N" to "Are you currently configuring for the MAIN SSP?". Reboot

2) On new SSP run "ssp_config spare".

3) On new SSP run "ssp_config cb". 

4) Reboot new SSP.
