Configuring Application Server Failover for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
How to Configure Application Server Failover
7
Step 3
Enter the following command to set up Node 1 for failover:
failoverUtil setDeployment failover
Step 4
Follow the CLI prompts to configure the virtual network interface (eth0:0) with an IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, and hostname.
mask, default gateway, and hostname.
Node 1 automatically restarts and enters standby mode.
Step 5
Log in to the CLI of Node 2.
If you are logging in remotely, use the temporary Node 2 eth0 IP address or hostname that you entered
during installation in
during installation in
Step 6
Enter the
address and hostname.
Because Node 1 is still in standby mode, Node 2 is now the active server.
Step 7
Enter reboot to restart Node 2.
Step 8
Log in to the CLI of Node 2, this time using the shared eth0 IP address or hostname.
Step 9
Enter the following command to set up Node 2 for failover:
failoverUtil setDeployment failover
Step 10
Follow the CLI prompts to configure the virtual network interface (eth0:0) with an IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, and hostname.
mask, default gateway, and hostname.
Node 2 automatically restarts and enters standby mode.
Step 11
Enter the following command to initialize database replication:
mp_replication init -n 2 -r remote-eth0:0 [-v]
Step 12
Log in to the CLI of Node 1.
If you are logging in remotely, use the Node 1 eth0:0 IP address or hostname.
Step 13
Enter the following commands to initialize and start database replication and synchronize existing data:
mp_replication init -n 1 -r remote-eth0:0 [-v]
mp_replication switchON -S -F from-sync [-v]
Step 14
Enter the following command to change Node 1 from standby mode to active mode:
failoverUtil setServer active
Verifying
Using the hostname or IP address of the virtual eth0:0 interface, log in to the Administration Center of
each node, and verify that the correct failover deployment mode (active or standby) appears at the top of
the page.
each node, and verify that the correct failover deployment mode (active or standby) appears at the top of
the page.
To verify that the replication was successful, log in to both nodes (eth0:0 interface) as root user and enter
the mp_replication status command. The following should display in your output:
