[asterisk-users] Where are phone registrations kept?

[Bart Coninckx]

Hi,

I've built an Asterisk HA cluster by means of heartbeat and drbd. The 
following folders are stored on shared storage and referred to by means of 
symbolic links:

/etc/asterisk
/var/lib/asterisk
/usr/lib/asterisk
/var/spool/asterisk
/var/log/asterisk


I was under the impression that phone registrations were stored 
in /var/lib/asterisk/astdb and as such preserved when failing over. 
But when failing over I need to restart the phones in order to have them work 
with the newly actived asterisk node.

This seems to point to the fact that phone registrations are stored elsewhere 
or are forgotten when Asterisk is restarted, but the latter seems not really 
true anyway.

So, what is going wrong here? Were are the registrations stored? Or should I 
build in something to have the phones rebooted when I failover?

Thank you,


Bart
