[ILUG-Cochin.org] HA for Asterisk

[John Joseph]

Hi All
I did try out "hearbeat" to implement HA for asterisk based PBX system and it was success .
Right now I have different asterisk front end GUI on my server. The reason for that is to find which is better.May be later I will switch both the server to the selected one .
On "Asterisk Server 1" I have "druid" installed and I have named it as "druid".
On " Asterisk Server 2" I have "elastix" installed and I have name it as "elastik" .
My aim is to make the switch over happen whenever "the link to Asterisk server 1" service is down .

I would like to post the "conf" files for others.

### My configuration file *****

# haresources

[root at druid ha.d]# pwd
/etc/ha.d
[root at druid ha.d]# cat haresources
druid 192.168.21.84 asterisk
[root at druid ha.d]#

// ie 'hostname of primary server ' 'floating IP address' 'names of service to be executed during failover

*** ha.cf ******
debugfile /var/log/ha- debug
logfile /var/log/ha- log
keepalive 2
deadtime 10
bcast eth0
node druid elastix
auto_failback off
