You also tie a virtual IP address to the asterisk instance. Pretty much everything moves from one machine to another. Lots of times people design a system like Active/Active/Active/Passive; where the Active nodes are running an instance of Asterisk and you have a Passive node to accept any other failed nodes instance. This means that Passive nodes needs to be able to run any Asterisk instance. Really what you are protecting here is hardware failure and file system issues. If you had an Active/Passive design you could run different version of Asterisk. This would allow you to try out a new version and if it failed you could easily switch back to the "working" version.

Um...doesn't running the multiple copies on the same machine kinda make the aim of redundancy redundant? :) Use different contexts if you want to split by companies, then failover to other PCs if you have hardware/network problems. -- Cheers, Matt Riddell ___ http://www.sineapps.com/news.php (Daily Asterisk News - html) http://www.sineapps.com/rssfeed.php (Daily Asterisk News - rss) ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Linux-HA Heartbeat2 and Asterisk
The new version of heartbeat (http://linux-ha.org/GettingStartedV2) supports up to 16nodes. I was wondering if anyone has tried it with Asterisk. The biggest hurdle would be to configure multiple instances of Asterisk on the same box. Anyone configure more than one copy of asterisk on the same machine? Each instance would need their own set of configuration files. This would be a VOIP only box with a zaptel interface for timing.
