Configuration Checkpointing

During configuration checkpointing, all configuration activity and changes on one Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller are automatically mirrored on the other. Checkpointed transactions include adding, deleting, or modifying a configuration on the active Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller . This means that you only need to perform configuration tasks on the active Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller because the standby system will go through the checkpointing process and synchronize its configuration to reflect activity and changes.

Because of the way configuration checkpointing works, the ACLI save-config and activate-config commands can only be used on the active Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller .

• When you use the ACLI save-config command on the active Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller , the standby Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller learns of the action and updates its own configuration. Then the standby Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller saves the configuration automatically.
• When you use the ACLI activate-config command on the active Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller , the standby Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller learns of the action and activates its own, updated configuration.

The ACLI acquire-config command is used to copy configuration information from one Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller to another.
