Chapter 4 Configuring the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software

Initializing the Call Screening Database

where activehost is the name (not IP address) of your active host. In the example below, the active host

is hostx and the standby host is hosty.

Caution Do not use IP addresses when setting up database replication. If you do, replication will fail.

Example 4-2 Initializing Database Replication on the Standby Host

Configuring replication for DSN=howdydb

Restoring file /opt/TimesTen4.1/datastore/howdydb.ds0 from backup

RAM Residence Policy :inUse

Manually Loaded In Ram :False

Replication Agent Policy :manual

Replication Manually Started :True

Oracle Agent Policy :manual

Oracle Agent Manually Started :False

Replication setup completed.

Note If the replication setup on the standby host fails, you must run delete_replication.sh on both active and

standby hosts. Then change the value of the TTREPPORT variable from 2890 to 2891 in the

setup_replication.sh script on both active and standby hosts and save your changes. Perform the whole

procedure again.

Step 5 Start the both active and standby Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch as root:

# /etc/init.d/CiscoMGC start

Proceed to “Verifying Database Replication”.

Verifying Database Replication

To verify that replication is working, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Log in to the active host and start an MML session by entering mml.

Step 2 Add a test entry into the B white list database using the numan-add MML command. For example:

mml> numan-add:bwhite:custgrpid="S018",svcname="testsvc",cli="9998"

Text similar to the following is displayed:

VSC-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2000-08-30 11:31:25

M COMPLD

"bwhite"

;

Step 3 Delete the test entry using the numan-dlt MML command.

mml> numan-add:bwhite:custgrpid="S018",svcname="testsvc",cli="9998"

Step 4 Log in to the standby host and start an MML session by entering mml.
