Change Primary VIP Access Manager Gateway

VIP Access Manager
Issue/Introduction
The primary VIP Access Manager gateway server has become corrupt or unrecoverable (i.e. from a backup or VM snapshot).
Resolution
It is possible to set a secondary gateway as the primary. To designate a secondary gateway as the new primary, log on to the system as the root user either via SSH or console.
Run the following script:
# sam-promote
Once the new primary gateway has been set, any additional gateways must be updated to point to the new primary. This is done by running the sam-switch script on the additional gateways and providing the IP for the new primary gateway.
Note: Once a new primary gateway has been configured it is not possible to revert this change.
