<div dir="ltr">AsteriskNOW 1 and 2 are both based on Centos 5 and I think the new AsteriskNOW 3 is based on Centos 6 so upgrades are not supported by the Linux OS distribution[1]. It's best to backup and reinstall with the new version. It's a shame AsteriskNOW is not based on Debian so it could be dist-upgraded between versions.<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello all. I was hoping someone out there might have some advice or suggestions regarding an upgrade from an archaic Asterisk version.<br>
<br>
I've been given the daunting task of upgrading a very old Asterisk-1.0.x install to a recent LTS version. I'll also need the install to have high-availability and failover support.<br>
<br>
>From my research, it would appear that AsteriskNOW-3.0 might be my best bet, as it seems to be running Asterisk-11. I've previously installed Asterisk-11+FreePBX in a VM, and this appears to be very similar. Is there any upside to using AsteriskNOW vs. Asterisk+FreePBX? Other than the obvious fact that everything is nicely placed on an iso for ease of installation?<br>
<br>
As for the actual upgrade, is it possible to step through each of the UPGRADE*.txt files under the Asterisk-11 source? I.e, UPGRADE-1.2.txt -> UPGRADE-1.4.txt -> UPGRADE-1.6.txt -> UPGRADE-1.8.txt -> UPGRADE.txt? Or would it be prudent to recreate my current 1.0.x configuration under Asterisk-11 instead?<br>
<br>
Regarding HA/failover, is a hardware solution (such as Digium's R800/R850) my only option? During my research I've found scripts on the internet that allow for failover using arp/nmap, however those appear to only work for hardware failures. I would need something that can account for both hardware and software failures.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone can give on the subject. Any suggestions, etc. would help immensely!<br>
