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 | The Primary and Secondary Intelligent Mirroring servers run on the same |
Prerequisites | 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. |
