[Bulk] Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk failover solution

[Bernard Cresencia]

How about a script to send a reboot command to the phones during a switchover. I've seen a page in the wiki where (for Grandstream phones) you can send a command via curl to reboot the phones (http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20phone%20grandstream%20budgetone). Of course this may not be practical in every environment, depending on what phones you have out there, etc. I wouldn't worry about interrupting any calls because the server would have been down for the moment anyway.

It's not pretty but it may work.

  Of course this solution can be broken by phones that cache DNS answers, and the phone may require a reboot to actually force it to go and contact the smart DNS server for a new ip address.

    If your phones are setup to connect to the asterisk box by name, then a smart DNS server can just point phones to the backup box after failure.  However, since asterisk running on the backup box doesn't know about the phones, this is only half the solution

    Dear All, 
     I am using Linux-High Availability between two Asterisk servers, everything is fine but I do have one problem with this, When a server fails and the other  assumes the ip address and start asterisk on server 2, the ip phone must re-register themselves again, otherwise the phones are dead. 

     Does anyone have Ideas of how to overcome this.
