Synchronize HA Peers

The process for synchronizing the peers in a High Availability (HA) node for the first time by way of the ACLI includes the following steps.

1. Create a complete configuration on the active Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC). Include all HA node parameters and all rear interface configurations. Confirm that the rear interfaces are configured to send and receive information across the HA node.
2. On the active E-SBC, save the configuration.
3. On the active E-SBC, reboot to run the new configuration.

   Use the ACLI show health command to see that the active E-SBC booted without a peer. This changes after you copy the configuration to the standby E-SBC and activate the configuration.

4. On the standby E-SBC, perform the ACLI acquire-config command to copy the configuration from the active E-SBC. Use the acquire-config command with the IPv4 address of wancom 0 on the active E-SBC.

   ACMEPACKET2# acquire-config 192.168.12.4

   The IPv4 address of wancom 0 on the active E-SBC is the IPv4 address portion of the value displayed for the IP Address boot parameter. The following codeblock shows an example of theIP Address value that the system displays when you view the boot parameters:

   IP Address        : 192.168.12.4

5. When the copying process (acquire-config) is complete, reboot the standby E-SBC to activate the configuration. The system boots and displays start-up information.
6. Confirm that the HA node synchronized the configurations by using the ACLI display-current-cfg-version and display-running-cfg-version commands:

   ORACLE# display-current-cfg-version
   Current configuration version is 3
   ORACLE# display-running-cfg-version
   Running configuration version is 3
   ORACLE# display-current-cfg-version
   Current configuration version is 3
   ORACLE# display-running-cfg-version
   Running configuration version is 3

   In the preceding example, all configuration versions—current and running—are the same number (3).
