How it Works!
§ A primary and standby server are clustered using 3rd party open source software packages. These packages are: – Pacemaker: Monitors the health of the servers and Asterisk – Corasync: When the primary fails Corasync starts the applications on the
standby server when it is promoted to primary
§ The R-Series utility (RCTL) interacts with
the cluster management
applications on each server
– DRDB: Application for
mirroring of Asterisk
configuration files
42 Creative Innovation – Customer Satisfaction – Continual Quality Improvement
How it Works!
§ If a hardware or software failure event occurs on the primary server, it will be removed from the cluster and the R-Series is instructed to move the PSTN circuits to the standby
§ The standby server
assumes the role of primary without loss of services such as voice mail,
phone registrations,
etc.

§ When the primary server hardware or software fails, will the standby server automatically take over communications? – Yes
§ Does the system automatically switch the PSTN circuits back when the primary is once again operational? – No, the primary will rejoin the server cluster and become the standby
44 Creative Innovation – Customer Satisfaction – Continual Quality Improvement
R-Series FAQ’s
§ How are add-on licenses such as G.729 and Fax for Asterisk handled between the primary and secondary? Will the primary licenses work on the secondary? – The secondary will need to have it’s own licenses for add-on software
and registered with Digium when the standby server is configured
§ Does the R-Series have a GUI? – No, the unit does not have a GUI
§ What are the “Passthrough” ports on the units used for? – These ports are reserved for future use
