RTC Notes
Starting in Release 4.1, the HA configuration is supported for real-time configuration (RTC). However, not all of the HA-related parameters are covered by RTC because of the impact on service it would cause to reconfigure these parameters dynamically.
This section sets out what parameters you should not dynamically reconfigure, or should dynamically reconfigure with care.
HA
Changes to the following ACLI parameters will have the noted consequences when dynamically reconfigured:
- cfg-max-trans—Changing this value could cause the activation time to lengthen slightly
- init-time, becoming-standby-time, and becoming-active-time—Changes take place only if the system is not transitioning between these states; otherwise the system waits until the transition is complete to make changes
- percent-drift and advertisement-time—Changes are communicated between nodes in the HA pair as part of regular health advertisements
In addition, the following parameters are not part of the RTC enhancement, for the reason specified in the right-hand column.
Parameter | Impact |
---|---|
state | Disrupts service |
port | Disrupts service; leaves systems in an HA node without a means of communicating with each other |
cfg-port | Disrupts service; leaves systems in an HA node without a means of communicating with each other |
cfg-max-trans | Disrupts service |
cfg-sync-start-time | Disrupts configuration replication |
cfg-sync-comp-time | Disrupts configuration replication |
Protocol-Specific Parameters and RTC
In addition, you should not change any of the parameters related to HA that are part of protocol or media management configurations that are used for protocol/media checkpointing. These are:
- SIP configuration
- red-max-trans
- red-sync-start-time
- red-sync-comp-time
- Media Manager configuration
- red-flow-port
- red-max-trans
- red-sync-start-time
- red-sync-comp-time
