4 Reconfigure the network parameters of the media gateway to conform
to the network segment on which it will reside.
Refer to the instructions in the appropriate media gateway manual for
the media gateways that are included in your configuration. See
“Documentation Resources” on page 8 to identify the correct manual.
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for any additional gateways that require
reconfiguration.
Reconfiguring the Secondary Server
Reconfigure the secondary server so that it will operate in conjunction
with the primary server.
1 Access the secondary VCX Connect server using the ssh command.
Sample command:
ssh root@<secondary server IP address>
2 Run the
vcx-reconfigure
script, and answer the questions that the
script poses. Your answers are used to update the secondary server
configuration so that it will know about and work with the primary
server.
3 Accept the default answer (no) to the network configuration prompt.
4 In the VCX Services section of the
vcx-reconfigure
script, the answers
that you provide to questions such as site description and site name must
match the answers you gave when you configured the primary VCX
Connect server. The answers you provide to other prompts must be
unique to the secondary VCX Connect server. See
“Reconfiguration
Sample Script” on page 60 . The comments within the sample script
provide guidance on how to answer the prompts.
When the vcx-reconfigure script has been completed, the secondary VCX
Connect server is rebooted. The server is then ready to communicate with
the primary VCX Connect server.
Duplicating the VCX Database on the Secondary Server
Before you can set up database replication between the primary and
secondary VCX Connect servers, you must:
■
Back up the database on the primary VCX Connect server
■
Copy the database backup file to the secondary server
■
Restore the database backup file on secondary server.
