Hi,

You might remember, that some months ago I was drafting an HA plan with
3 nodes trying to solve the sipxconfig and mediaservices SPOF.

The basic idea was to set up node 1 on site A and node 2 + 3 on site B.
Node 1(config+media services) and node 2(redundant proxy) form a
traditional HA SIP cluster. When node 1 fails, the node 3 on site B
comes up and takes over IP address and role of node 1 and vice versa.
For this, some file/DB replication has to be in place and additionally
some mechanism to make sure the system is always in a valid state. The
system is supposed to stay fully functional with any 2 of the nodes
running at a given time(excluding failover time).

In the recent weeks I had some time to work on this and managed to put
together the file replication and IP failover part, which is in a quite
good shape now. Last week I started adding the control of the sipXecs
"on top of it" and there is some progress as well. When creating a user
on node 1 and pulling network cable out of it, shortly after the node 3
comes up and the newly created user is visible there.

Where I'm kind of stuck at the moment is the /var/sipxdata directory.
Could someone please tell me which directories are _NOT_ necessary in it
from replication point of view? I suppose /var/sipxdata/tmp/ is not and
I'm not entirely sure about /var/sipxdata/process-state/. Are there any
others, which could be excluded? 

Thanks in advance,
Chris

PS: In case of questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
