Re: [asterisk-users] HA Asterisk
Yes - the USB connection carries the data. Keep in mind that the HA aspect of this product just means you can connect to two asterisk servers. There is not data replication, detection of asterisk failure, etc. (without buying more xorcom products). Be sure to do your homework. But they do make a good bank product.

Not sure i understand that. 3) How does the xorcom box communicate with the Asterisk Server which do not contain any PRI Card inside the system. Much Appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Kaushal Kaushal, 1) it's all clearly explained on their page. Looking at the video, one can tell they have 8 PRI ports on that box and 8 FXS ports and there's space for 3 further 8-channel modules that can be added. You can get an XR0111 for 8 PRIs (or XR0015 for BRI): http://www.xorcom.com/telephony-interfaces/astribank-models.html 2) It also states there that the Astribank's drivers have been a part of Zaptel/DAHDI since early 2006. Which means that it's MOST likely compatible with any home-baked Asterisk installation without the need to buy Xorcom Servers. 3) Lastly, it clearly uses these Astribank drivers in DAHDI to make the Astribank channel bank as an external hardware to Asterisk to talk back and forth. Since USB is a physical connection between the two, I'm sure if a server is down, the software in Astribank can detect the lack of connectivity on that USB port (i.e. voltage) as well as it might realise there's no communication between it and the Astribank driver in DAHDI on the Asterisk server. One should not just try and get answers the easy way. You could've figured all this out in 5 mins just like I did...not that I'm saying I'm really smart ;) Anyway, hope it helps :) Now, I wonder what're the alternatives that people have been using for Asterisk HA other than commercially available solutions like HAAST and Astribanks assuming that kaushal is right and SCF isn't production ready yet. Anyone wants to chime in here with a solution built with readily available linux software like heartbeat , linux-ha, shared filesystems, filesystem replication and of course asterisk realtime? My requirement might be more along the lines of having several asterisk servers in a farm/pool without actually caring about the failover, so it might not even matter for me to worry about all of this, but I'm still curious as to what people are doing out there.

Can someone please pitch in about HA feature in Asterisk ? (HA - High Availability.) The current production ready versions of Asterisk (1.4, 1.6, 1.8) do not have any native HA support. You have to engineer that on your own, or purchase a commercial product that handles it for you. How this is engineered would be based on your specific requirements. Also, What would be the pros and cons of using AsteriskNow over Asterisk ? Are the versions same in Asterisk and AsteriskNow ? AsteriskNOW is a simple to install complete Asterisk setup, just add hardware. While that is great, it would probably be more of a pain to make AsteriskNOW into an HA install than build one yourself based on your specific requirements. I haven't personally tried though, so YMMV. It appears that AsteriskNOW 1.7.1 64-bit contains Asterisk version 1.4.35 and 1.6.2.11. Both versions are now at Security Update Only status (but that's a conversation for another thread) We have been evaluating Asterisk for our Voice Application and it seems it would fit the requirement. Is Asterisk a CPU Intensive or a Memory Intensive application. In my specific experience, I would say Asterisk is neither CPU or Memory intensive. Memory has never been an issue, and we are not transcoding between different codecs. If you plan to do a lot of transcoding in software, then your CPU usage will increase. You would have to test using your specific requirements to know how it will impact your systems. -Jonathan -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

My requirement might be more along the lines of having several asterisk servers in a farm/pool without actually caring about the failover, so it might not even matter for me to worry about all of this, but I'm still curious as to what people are doing out there. For our specific needs we have build an active/passive Asterisk cluster based on CentOS 5 and cman/drbd/gfs2. Two nodes replicate data (configs, voicemail, provisioning data) on a Master/Master DRBD volume, using GFS2 as the shared file system. We use Asterisk Realtime via ODBC (MySQL Backend) for SIP/Extensions/CDR. All services bind to a floating IP Address. CMAN controls what server is running the services at any time, and handles migrating of the IP as well. Lights Out cards (via IPMI) are used for fencing. For access to the PSTN, I prefer to use an external device. We run a mix of Cisco 2800's and AudioCodes Mediant 1000's. I prefer to use PSTN to SIP gateways over cards built-in to the servers, or Astribanks as I feel they are more flexible. You could allow direct media, or allow multiple servers to communicate with the gateways at that same time. So that is the setup that we have chosen, and it might not be right for anyone else. The best advice I can give is to implement something at your comfort level, and test test test! I am aware of the potential issues with our setup, and am prepared to deal with them because of extensive testing. -Jonathan -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

That's right. By failover in this context just means making a connection to another box.

Re: [asterisk-users] HA Asterisk
You can't do PRI failover while using internal PRI cards. To do so you need a standalone PRI box a good one i use often is foneBridge from Redfone. U can use foneBridge as follow: PSTN(Tdm) - FoneBridge(TDMoE)- Asterisk .

Re: [asterisk-users] HA Asterisk
For the High Availability part check out the HAAST add-on for Asterisk at www.generationd.com It detects a variety of failures, shuts down the failing system, starts asterisk on the peer, moves the IP over, etc. Runs with every Asterisk variant and every Linux distro. No special hardware required. Michelle (I'd tell you how great it is but I work for Generation D ...)

Are the versions same in Asterisk and AsteriskNow ? We have been evaluating Asterisk for our Voice Application and it seems it would fit the requirement. Is Asterisk a CPU Intensive or a Memory Intensive application. Please suggest/guide. Regards, Kaushal -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] HA - asterisk service is not starting
Hi Alexis, Thanks for for answer. This is the master node debug, asterisk zaptel starts correctly when I start it manual. The HA config is the same for both nodes. There is an strange event: When I start both nodes, Master node does not start the services, but if I turn off master, Slave works as expected, it checks master is down and turn both services on. If I turn on Master again and turn off Slave, The master takes control and works pretty fine bringing up both services again. This malfunction or configuration mistake, I think, it´s only happening while master is turned on by first time...but I simply don´t know what could it be. Thanks for your help!! Kind Regards. Juan.
