Intelligent
Mirroring
Active/Standby
Policy
Intelligent Mirroring uses one of two policies to determine which server
operates in the active state and which operates in the standby state. The
Primary and Balanced policies, explained next, control the two server
states.
The example answers in this script assume that you are using voipbox1,
that voipbox1 will be the primary server, and that voipbox2 will be the
secondary server.
Configuration of a mirroring policy can be done only after the firstboot
script has been completed and the VCX system has been rebooted.
Primary Intelligent
Mirroring Policy
This policy specifies that whenever the Primary Server is running, it enters
the active state. If the Secondary Server was running in the active state,
the two servers negotiate so that the Secondary Server switches to the
standby state.
