Hi Mariana,

Well, before considering how opensips can "see" the dialogs created by other opensips instance, you should consider how the sequential request will get to the other instance.
Let me explain:
(1) dialog is created through instance X with IP1, so call is record routed with this IP1 (2) instance X goes down, but you have another instance Y up and running with IP2 (3) considering that sequential requests tries to go to IP1, how do you make them being routed (Ip level) to IP2 where the Y instance is running ?

Regards,
Bogdan

Hello Bodgan,

The problem is sequential requests in that dialog would not be delivered to the end-user, since the server would have gone down. BYE and re-INVITE messages wouldn't be relayed, affecting billing and features like call hold and call transfer. Also, we wouldn't be able to release media gateways resources.

Despite all this, you sound like this is not an appropriate solution. If so, what other directions would you suggest?

Thanks for your help!
Mariana.

    Hello Mariana,

    Currently there is no way you can share the dialog state between 2
    running instances of opensips. Probably this will be available in
    the next versions (1.9 maybe ?).

    But my question is how comes you have such a scenario that
    requests of the same dialog end up on different servers ?? may you
    such consider fixing that part.

    Regards,
    Bogdan

    Hello,

    I've been searching a lot on how to have more than one OpenSIPS
    handling messages from the same dialog (for example, the initial
    request goes to server #1 and the sequential requests go to
    server #2, in case server #1 goes down). I've tried pointing the
    db_url to the same database on both servers, setting db_mode
    parameter to 1 (flush all dialog data into DB immediately),
    setting the db_update_period to a smaller value than the default
    but didn't work, except for when we stop server #1 smoothly. Even
    so, some header translations we should do were not performed.

    I'm supposed to find out how a distributed key-value store like
    Redis can be useful on that. I've seen the example in the
    Key-value Interface Tutorial but I have no idea on how to
    transfer dialog values, flags along with other dialog state
    information from the database to a KVP store. Would it be
    something like having a whole new dialog module that uses a
    distributed cache_db instead? Sounds hard to accomplish...

    Is this
    http://lists.opensips.org/pipermail/users/2012-February/020657.html supposed
    to do what I need? Is there any example of use anywhere? What I
    got from it is just profiling distribution, I don't get how could
    this allow all dialog state to be shared...

    Thanks a lot for any pointer or help.
    Mariana.
