Connecting anynode Instances with Replication
In this chapter, we will explore the critical steps necessary to connect anynode instances in a replication environment, ensuring that your primary and standby systems are synchronized and ready for high availability operations. This setup is vital for maintaining telephony, as it allows the standby instance to take over in case of an issue with the primary instance.
We will begin by configuring the Local Backend Connector on the standby system, which ensures that the standby system is properly prepared to receive and process data. Next, we'll guide you through adding the Remote Backend Instance on the primary system, enabling it to communicate effectively with the standby system. Additionally, we'll cover per-instance settings to show you which settings won't be replicated.
We'll review the correct management of Licenses, as each instance must be properly licensed to operate within the replication environment. In addition, we will examine Network Interfaces and understand that they, too, have instance-dependent settings that are not replicated across instances.
To better manage your replication environment, we will investigate how the Information section allows you to view system-related information that is unique to each system. This includes details such as the operating system, System Name, and System Identifier, which are specific to each anynode instance and not replicated.
Finally, we will guide initiating Tracing correctly, ensuring that it starts on the right system to avoid any conflicts, and explain how to handle Licenses appropriately within a replicated setup.
