<font size=2 face="sans-serif">I can't comment on an Asterisk to Asterisk
migration, but I have done a migration from a different pbx to Asterisk
where no downtime was allowed. What we did was put the new instance (Asterisk)
as the primary call handler with a rule that said anythnig that isn't a
match gets sent over to the secondary PBX (in your case it would be the
Asterisk 1.0.x instance). Then you will also have to make corresponding
changes on the original PBX to send the appropriate calls/extensions back
to the new Asterisk instance. In our case, we started with Asterisk as
a voicemail box, then moved one department at a time over so we could do
testing to make sure it was working. By the end, we were down to all the
extensions that didn't have any kind of special handling on them and we
moved those over as we had time/money for new phones.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Planning, having test extensions and
moving slowly at the start are your friend. Once you understand all the
ins and outs of the migration, you can start moving to the new instance
on a faster pace. It is possible to do it with virtually no downtime.</font>

Thanks for the reply! Keep in mind, I'm wanting to go from vanilla
<br>
Asterisk 1.0.x to AsteriskNOW 3 -- or Asterisk 11 + FreePBX. This
will <br>
be on all new hardware -- which I guess actually answers my question <br>
regarding the feasibility of an in-place upgrade. From what I can
tell, <br>
my only choice will be to rebuild the configuration that is currently in
<br>
the 1.0.x install using AsteriskNOW/Asterisk+FreePBX. Probably won't
be <br>
fun :/<br>
<br>
Any insight on failover solutions?<br>
