[Freeswitch-users] Live Upgrade Techniques

[Michael Giagnocavo]

Well, Nextone for instance has a database the keeps most of the state of calls, and it's replicated between the two nodes. (I seem to recall the database was GNU dbm, but I might be mistaken.) However, as of 4.3 anyways, the CDRs still get truncated when there's any kind of switchover.

But Nextone is a closed system with limited services. As MikeJ mentioned, it was discussed for FS, but it's a LOT of work to get that state synchronized. And, every custom app/module would have to register and support recreating their state.

No idea at all,

It's a commercial SBC.

I wish if we can have same functionality in FS.

Can you comment some more on how this is configured?
Would it be something that could be added to the wiki in the SBC setup page?

Best regards,

I've experience with a commercial SBC, these are two machines running in cluster mode. In that case if one SBC is going down then other will take all new calls including the call which were active on broken SBC (SIP only).

Thats quite ideal for wholesale traffic where the SBC will never be idle.

Yes I'm sure much of their software can do this but it has been set up for
static numeric IPs. And getting the IP changed is a week-long process for
some customers!

Yes and I don't want to touch established calls - those calls can stay
there until they drop. This is sent to new requests when
switch_core_session_request fails in mod_sofia.

Some are broken. Some just have this feature disabled. For 'security
reasons'. You know the drill.
