How are you handling your FS box crashing? -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of John Dalgliesh Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 9:04 PM To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Live Upgrade Techniques Hi, I am slowly gaining confidence using FreeSWITCH in production, but there is one issue that I'm still wondering about: how are people upgrading their FreeSWITCH installation binaries without dropping all current calls? So far I have been upgrading in the dead of night, after pausing for 5 minutes then dropping the stragglers, but this is hardly ideal. What I would like to do is to run an upgraded instance of FreeSWITCH on the same machine, and have it handle all new call packets, whereas the old instance continues to handle the existing call packets, until there are no more old calls left. I can think of about seven ways to accomplish this, but before I dive into the code I thought I'd better ask what everyone else has been doing :) (The only standard way I can think of doing this is to have a SIP proxy sitting in front of FS the whole time, just to handle these upgrade windows. It seems like a bit of a waste.) So how are you handling your FS software upgrades? {P^/ John _______________________________________________ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
