Hi Eric - How do you handle transfering vmail from one user to another when they're on separate servers? I'm using the single vmail server, mounted NFS partition for this right now.

Luckily, this client really doesn't need voicemail transfer capability. They opted to forego multi-site voicemail transfer in order to get stable and reliable voicemail. I've toyed with the idea of making some code contributions to Asterisk to implement a shared-directory / multi-server-voicemail-transfer feature. I think this would require some radical modifications to the existing structure. Also, my coding skills are quite rusty, and I don't have a lot of time to devote to this. Even if I began coding in earnest right now, I wouldn't be able to get anything in until the 1.8 release at the earliest.

Re: [asterisk-users] Voicemail on Different Server
Hi Forest - I have two seperate systems at two different locations. Each hosts there own voicemail for their phones. I have thought about just having all voicemail on one server. Is the best way to do this just through a dial app? Can anyone think of draw backs to this? One I can think of is I will have to specify a extension to redirect 0 (for receptionist) back to the Site A server. I will also have to redirect all directory apps to the voicemail server. The first time I set up a multi-site Asterisk, I tried to do centralized voicemail. My only real motivation for it was to have a centralized directory. I originally did the NFS-mount method. If the internet connection ever went down at the non-central offices there were two problems 1) users didn't have access to their voicemail, 2) asterisk did not handle the situation gracefully. I believe asterisk will now handle the situation gracefully, but users still won't be able to get their voicemail. This was not acceptable to me or to the client, so I changed to storing the voicemail via ODBC on MySQL. Each server had it's own local storage, and then MySQL replicated the databases between the sites. This setup was terribly finicky and unstable. It was much worse than the NFS mount. I quickly gave it up. My eventual solution for this client was to store voicemail locally at each site. For the centralized directory, I just wrote a quick shell script to rsync the voicemail.conf file and all personal greetings between all the servers. Cron runs this script periodically to keep all the asterisk servers up to date. This solution is MUCH better. It's been very stable and reliable. There's now another option - you can store the messages on a central IMAP server. That may work for you. I haven't done this setup yet, but I believe if you wanted the centralized directory, you'd still need to do something like an rsync script between various asterisk servers. - Noah On 4/27/07, Anthony Rodgers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: mount -o intr,nolock ought to do the trick. we're using those options now, but thankfully haven't had reason to find out if they work or not yet.

[asterisk-users] Voicemail on Different Server
I have two seperate systems at two different locations. Each hosts
there own voicemail for their phones.
I have thought about just having all voicemail on one server. Is the
best way to do this just through a dial app?
For example, if someone dials 1000 to check voicemail at site A. The
dialplan will be something like this on Site A:
[context-for-phones-at-one-location]
exten = 1000,1,Dial(SIP/voicemailserver/${EXTEN})
Then on Site B where the voicemail is to be stored:
[context-for-incoming-voicemail]
exten = 1000,1,Voicemail(@vmcontext)
exten = o,1,Dial(SIP/siteAserver/receptionistextension
Can anyone think of draw backs to this? One I can think of is I will
have to specify a extension to redirect 0 (for receptionist) back to
the Site A server. I will also have to redirect all directory apps to
the voicemail server.
Does anyone do this? How do you handle it?
Thanks.
