INITIAL CONFIGURATION
This chapter provides an overview of how to configure Intelligent
Mirroring on a Primary and Secondary server for the V7300 Voice
Applications Suite.
Intelligent Mirroring is the mirroring of application data on two
independently running servers. The mirrored application data is
composed of table data and message component files.
Overview When you configure two servers for Intelligent Mirroring:
One of the servers operates in the active state
The other operates in standby state
At any one time, either the Primary or the Secondary server can be in
the active state.
You can install the Primary and Secondary servers on the same
network or, for added reliability, you can connect each of them to an
A and a B network (see
Figure 1 on page 12). Both approaches are
described in this guide.
Before you begin to install Intelligent Mirroring on the Primary and
Secondary servers, verify that you have the equipment and
information outlined in the next two sections.
Hardware
Prerequisites
The Primary and Secondary Intelligent Mirroring servers run on the same
hardware platforms that run the messaging system software.
3Com recommends that you connect each server to two different
subnetworks for added reliability. To make these connections, each
server requires two network interface cards, for a total of four cards.
