Hi, This is a bit of a long shot and I don't have much information on what is actually happening...
Our production Asterisk system: ~2,000 SIP handsets, (2) Digium TE220s, Asterisk 1.6.2.18, RHEL 5 x86_64 Every few weeks, or few months, or X amount of time, the SIP portion of Asterisk seems to hang/die. Nothing abnormal in the typical Asterisk logs; the "rest" of Asterisk still seems to function fine -- incoming DAHDI calls come in and are queued in the various queues. 'sip set debug on' gives NO messages/errors/information at all; 'module reload chan_sip.so' does nothing (never seems to unload/load it), again nothing in the logs. It just seems like the chan_sip.so (or everything SIP) just hangs -- no errors related to SIP; when Asterisk is in this "state" we are unable to stop it gracefully -- it always requires a kill -9. The times this happen seem totally random -- this issue has persisted through several different versions of Asterisk 1.6.2.x branch. Sometimes its weeks between occurrences, other times its months. This Asterisk host easily processes several thousand calls per day. Any ideas or if anyone could at least point us in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. When this does happen, and we need to intervene, we try to poke around for a few seconds and test different things, but again this is a production system, so the quicker its back up, the better. =) Thanks, Marc -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
