hi
ok, thanks for the update. i kind of dropped that
track as i had all those errors.
with your experience, is that a better solution than
using the t_replicate? i'm only synchronizing two servers.

Well, there is a trade-off between the complexity of a mysql cluster deployment and the possible inconsistencies introduced by t_replicate.

With mysql cluster, you can always be sure that both of your proxies have the same, consistent view of the registration state. This comes at the prize of deploying and maintaining the db cluster. t_replicate is a lightweight replication mechanism that doesn't ensure registration state consistency. I like the simplicity of this approach.

Personally, I prefer having a consistent registration state. I also think that the mysql guys have done a great job in making the cluster deployment and management as easy as possible.

hi
i'm curious about this one. we used to run a dual Openser
installation
with MySQL cluster, but this proved to very unstable (on
the cluster
side).
is this working fine now? for instance, if one of the mysql cluster nodes was
disconnected, this
could lead to complete cluster shut down, and nodes didn't handle reconnect very good.

so, we actually switched to the register replication instead...
We're running a mysql 5.0.22 cluster for our two redundant openser proxies. This setup works very stable for about a year now.

In the beginning our cluster was shutting down itself quite regularly e.g. after a network failure. Since then we

- are running the management nodes on hosts that are connected to the data nodes through different network paths (this is essential, a cluster node needs to be able to solve the splitbrain problem)

- have added 'StopOnError = 0' to the data node settings (this causes a data nodes to try to reconnect after it lost communication to its neighbors, per default, a data node just shuts itself down)

- added enough DataMemory and IndexMemory for the data nodes (DataMemory = 1024M, IndexMemory = 64M)


Overall I'm quite pleased with our mysql cluster solution, although I'd prefer a solution where the UAs do register with both of our proxies, so that there is no need to replicate registration state between the proxies.

Our mysql cluster basically only contains the 'location' table since we store all account data on redundant LDAP/H350 directories.

unfortunately you then cannot support presence. using

presence and other sip methods.
What exactly prevents me from using a dedicated presence server? And why can't I support presence with db_mode=3?

E.g. if I just want to deploy a simple PA using the PRESENCE module, I don't see any dependencies on USRLOC.

I'm not sure if PUA_USRLOC depends on db_mode<3, but at least the documentation doesn't mention it. And it looks to me like I could use pua_set_publish() from PUA_USRLOC to send a PUBLISH to my dedicated presence server ;-) ... I haven't tried that though.

by the way, looks like presence related requests are by
far the most
common ones if all sip UAs have presence turned on.  it means that
presence would also create biggest db activity.
Yes, I know, SIP presence is very chatty.
