INITIAL CONFIGURATION  
1
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.

10  
CHAPTER 1: INITIAL CONFIGURATION  
IP Configuration  
3Com recommends that you define the IP configuration using the  
/etc/hostsfiles on the two systems.  
The /etc/hostsfile on each server must contain identical information  
about the Intelligent Mirroring configuration. Other information in the  
file may vary. The examples in this document contain the information  
that must be identical.  
For each network to which Intelligent Mirroring is connected, you  
must configure four unique IP addresses, all on the same subnetwork:  
Two of these addresses are static and are assigned to the primary  
network interface cards on the two systems.  
The other two IP addresses are aliases that are dynamically assigned  
based on the state (active versus standby) of the Intelligent Mirroring  
servers. These addresses are not associated with any hardware.  
Single Network To configure both the Primary and Secondary servers on a single network,  
Configuration follow the instructions in this section. For the instructions on how to  
configure the servers on two networks, see Dual Network Configuration.  
3Com recommends that you configure the systems on which  
Intelligent Mirroring runs so that each one is connected to two  
independent networks on separate switches. This provides additional  
reliability should problems develop on either network (for example, if  
a switch fails). See Figure 1 on page 12.  
The examples in this section are based on these assumptions:  
System 1 (Primary Server)  
System Name — voipbox1  
IP Address (subnetwork 126) — 192.168.126.1 (associated with  
the primary network interface on the Primary Server)  
System 2 (Secondary Server)  
System Name — voipbox2  
IP Address (subnetwork 126) — 192.168.126.2 (associated with  
the primary network interface on the Secondary Server)

IP Configuration  
11  
CAUTION: IP addresses 192.168.126.3 and 192.168.126.4 are the  
dynamic alias IP addresses. Do not associate them with any network  
interface.  
Sample /etc/hosts File Entries for a Single Network Configuration  
This section describes entries that you would add to the /etc/hosts file if  
your configuration was identical to the configuration examples listed  
earlier in this section.

192.168.126.3 active activea activeb activec actived  
192.168.126.4 standby standbya standbyb standbyc standbyd  
CAUTION: The host names that end in a, b, c, and d are used internally  
by Intelligent Mirroring or Call Builder (or both). These names must be  
present in the /etc/hosts file.  
Dual Network To configure the Primary and Secondary servers so that they are each  
Configuration connected to two networks, follow the instructions in this section.  
Dual network configuration is possible only if the UMS software is  
running on different servers than the Call Processor software. If you are  
running all VCX software on a single pair of servers, you cannot configure  
UMS for dual networks.  
3Com recommends that you configure the systems on which Intelligent  
Mirroring runs so that each one is connected to two independent  
networks on separate switches. This provides additional reliability should  
problems develop on either network (for example, if a switch fails).  
The examples in this section are based on the assumption that two  
subnetworks (192.168.126.XXX and 192.168.127.XXX) are used. If you  
choose not to use subnetworks, modify the examples accordingly.

present in the /etc/hosts file.  
Domain Name  
System (DNS)  
Configuration  
To enable proper operation of the UMS e-mail server (SMTP, POP3, and  
IMAP) you must configure the DNS servers on your network.  
To configure a DNS server:  
1 Create a host name for the UMS e-mail server.  
The domain name of the UMS e-mail server is the host name that you just  
created, together with the appropriate DNS suffix.  
2 Bind both the primary and secondary IP address of the e-mail server to  
the host name that you just created.  
If the VCX system is a single-box configuration, you need only bind the  
one IP address of the system to the host name.

CHAPTER 1: INITIAL CONFIGURATION  
3 Restart the named service on the DNS server to update the server settings  
with the new configuration information.  
For any PC on which you intend to run an e-mail client program,  
configure the PC so that it uses, as its primary DNS server , the DNS server  
that you have just configured.  
Sample DNS Names Modify these sample host and file names to conform to your network  
and Files configuration.  
E-mail Server Host Name — umsemail  
DNS Suffix — vcx.wan.3com.com  
Domain Name — umsemail.vcx.wan.3com.com

Verifying DNS Configuration  
To verify that the DNS server is properly configured for UMS:  
1 On a PC where you run the e-mail client, open a command window.  
2 Enter this command:  
nslookup umsemail  
The output from the command should look something like this:  
E:\UMS>nslookup umsemail  
Server: galaxy.vcx.wan.3com.com  
Address: 192.168.126.1  
Name: umsemail.vcx.wan.3com.com  
Addresses: 192.168.126.1 192.168.126.2  
In this example, the domain name is resolved to two IP addresses, one for  
the primary server and one for the secondary server.  
3 Enter this command:  
ping umsemail  
Continuing with the information in this example, you would see replies  
from umsemail.vcx.wan.3com.com.

CHAPTER 1: INITIAL CONFIGURATION  
Enabling Secure  
Copy (SCP) and  
Secure Shell (SSH)  
Commands  
UMS uses shell scripts to synchronize the two servers. These scripts use  
the SCP and SSH commands. For these commands to work properly in  
this environment, you must configure each UMS server so that the  
commands do not prompt for a password.  
Perform these steps on the voipbox1 and voipbox2 servers as user app:  
1 To create the private and public keys, enter this command:  
ssh-keygen -t dsa  
2 When you are prompted for a key location, press Enter to accept the  
default.  
3 When you are asked for a passphrase, press Enter to leave the  
passphrase blank.  
Perform these steps on the designated server only, as user app:  
1 On voipbox1, copy the public key to the voipbox2 using this command:  
cat ~app/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh app@voipbox2 "cat - >> ~app/.ssh/authorized_keys"..  
2 On voipbox2, copy the public key to the voipbox1 using this command:  
cat ~app/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh app@voipbox1"cat - >> ~app/.ssh/authorized_keys"..  
Network Time  
Protocol (NTP)  
Configuration  
Intelligent Mirroring requires that the clocks on the two systems be  
synchronized to within 1 second.  
3Com recommends that you use an external NTP server to maintain time  
synchronization with Universal Time.  
Configuration To configure Network Time Protocol on the two systems:  
1 On the voipbox1 system, create the /etc/ntp.conf file.  
2 Edit the file and add these lines:  
server 127.127.1.1  
fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 8  
peer voipbox2  
The IP address 127.127.1.1 designates the local oscillator (clock). This  
entry is required. If no external NTP server is configured or available, the  
two systems use the local oscillator. The fudge command sets the local

Network Time Protocol (NTP) Configuration  
17  
oscillator to stratum 8 in order to allow the two systems to use a lower  
stratum server (7 or lower) if one is available. By default, the system uses  
this drift file: /etc/ntp/drift.  
3 On the voipbox2 system, create the /etc/ntp.conf file.  
4 Edit the file and add these lines:  
server 127.127.1.1  
peer voipbox1  
5 On the voipbox1 server, su to root and execute these commands:  
/etc/init.d/ntpd stop  
/etc/init.d/ntpd start  
6 On the voipbox2 server, su to root and execute the same commands:  
/etc/init.d/ntpd stop  
/etc/init.d/ntpd start  
Optionally, you can add any number of additional server entries in the  
ntp.conf file.  
Verification To verify that the NTP service is properly configured, run this command:  
ntpq -p  
Any user can run the ntpq command.  
The output from this command shows the state of all of the ntp  
servers with which the local system is communicating.

The Secondary Server now restarts itself and picks up the Line and Port  
configuration from the Primary Server.  
The portion of the firstboot script that deals with UMS Intelligentigent  
Mirroring has now been completed. The firstboot script continues  
with other configuration questions.  
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 This policy specifies that whenever the Primary Server is running, it enters  
Mirroring Policy 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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
22  
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION  
For new installations, the policy is set to Primary by default.  
To configure the primary policy:  
1 Edit this file on the Primary Server:  
/usr/app/app.dir/config.app  
2 Find the line that begins with:  
IM_policy=  
3 Modify the line, if necessary, so that it reads:  
IM_policy=primary  
4 Restart Call Builder on the Primary Server.  
When Call Builder restarts on the Primary Server, it is in the standby state.  
After 5 minutes, it switches to active state.  
Balanced Intelligent This policy specifies that when one of the servers enters the active state, it  
Mirroring Policy stays in that state until it fails or someone shuts it down.  
To configure the balanced policy:  
1 Edit this file on the Primary Server:  
/usr/app/app.dir/config.app  
2 Find the line that begins with:  
IM_policy=  
3 Modify the line, if necessary, so that it reads:  
IM_policy=balanced  
4 Restart Call Builder on the Primary Server.  
Switching Between The Primary Server can enter the standby state in either of these two  
Active and Standby ways:  
States  
When the Primary Server starts, the Secondary Server is in the active  
state. Therefore, the Primary Server enters the standby state.  
OR  
Someone issues a command to force the Primary Server into the  
standby state.

Intelligent Mirroring Active/Standby Policy  
23  
When the Primary Server is in the standby state, it periodically checks the  
value of IM_policy and, depending on the value, the Primary Server may  
switch from the standby state to the active state.  
If IM_policy is set to primary, a 5-minute timer is activated. When the  
timer value expires, the Primary Server switches from standby to the  
active state and negotiates with the Secondary Server so that the  
Secondary Server switches to the standby state.  
If IM_policy is set to balanced, no action is taken.

OPERATION  
3
This chapter describes how to verify the proper operation of Intelligent  
Mirroring and synchronization between the servers. It also describes how  
to manually switch server states and how to resynchronize the databases  
and file systems on the two servers if that becomes necessary.  
VerifyingIntelligent To verify that Intelligent Mirroring is operating properly, perform these  
Mirroring  
Operation  
steps on each server:  
1 In a command window, enter this command:  
xattach app  
2 In the screen that appears:  
a On the active server, verify that:  
The status in the Intelligent Mirroring Status window is Active.  
The status of each of the 4 pipes is Alive.  
b On the standby server, verify that:  
The status in the Intelligent Mirroring Status window is Standby.  
The status of each of the 4 pipes is Alive.  
This message is not scrolling in the Message window:  
VM_INIT vm_nanch:-1  
If the “VM_INIT vm_nanch: -1” message is scrolling in the Message  
Window, go to the active server and type killit msg4 16at the  
command line. If this does not clear the problem, then there is a network  
configuration problem.

CHAPTER 3: OPERATION  
Manual Switchover  
You can manually switch either server to the active or standby state,  
provided that you have root privileges.  
1 In a command window, enter this command:  
xattach app  
2 In the screen that appears, click one of these two items to command the  
system to switch state:  
Scripts/Spawn vssu_active  
Scripts/Spawn vssu_stanby  
3 In the Intelligent Mirroring Status window, verify that the state changes  
appear immediately.  
4 In the Message window, verify that the messages indicate the progress of  
the switchover.  
Example:  
The following message window sequence is typical when you command  
the active server to go to standby mode:  
../app_ss.c:137 Request to become standby  
../app_ss.c:193 Remote end has requested to become active  
Shutdown from msg4  
This side is standby

Synchronization  
You can verify that the databases and the file systems on the Primary and  
Secondary Servers are synchronized.  
Database To verify database synchronization, at the command line, enter this  
command:  
tblcmp  
If the databases are synchronized, you see this message:  
Tables are identical

Verifying Server Synchronization  
27  
If the databases are not synchronized, you see a list of the records that  
are different.  
The synchronization of the Primary and Secondary servers is a real-time  
activity. The tblcmp utility gives accurate results only on an idle system  
(one that is not processing telephone calls).  
To re-synchronize the databases:  
1 On the active server, at the command line enter this command:  
xattach app  
2 In the screen that appears, click Scripts/Spawn vssu_sync.  
3 In the blue Tables window that appears, click the SS button to select all  
the tables that are synchronized with Intelligent Mirroring.  
4 Page down until you see checked boxes that indicate that the associated  
tables are selected for synchronization.  
5 Click the UD button to synchronize the selected tables.  
The standby server is updated and restarted.  
File System To verify that the file systems are synchronized, follow the procedures in  
this section.  
At the command line on both the Primary and Secondary Servers:  
1 Enter this command:  
diffmsg  
If there are many files on the system, the diffmsg utility may take some  
time to complete operation.  
When the diffmsg utility stops, the system displays these two file counts:  
Files to copy: — The number of files that exist on the other server  
but do not exist on the local server.  
Files to remove: — The number of files that exist on the local server  
but do not exist on the other server.  
If the value of files to copy is 0 (zero), then the file system is synchronized  
from the perspective of the local server.  
2 If the value of files to copy is not 0 (zero), then enter the command:  
diff2rcp

CHAPTER 3: OPERATION  
This command creates a shell script (/usr/app/app.dir/diffmsg.rcp) that  
you can run from the command line to copy the missing files from the  
other server.  
3 If the value of files to remove is not 0 (zero), then run this command on  
the local server:  
diffmsg  
and run this command on the other server:  
diff2rcp  
To run the synchronization command line utilities, both servers must have  
secure shell information configured (see “Enabling Secure Copy (SCP)  
and Secure Shell (SSH) Commands” on page 16).
