This is really great news for me! Thanks.
One more question. Do these patches let Asterisk store recorded voice mail
messages in MySQL or are they still stored under /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail?
The reason I ask is the former allows for an asterisk server to go offline and
not affect the customers ability to get their messages.

Oh yeah, one more REALLY important feature. It allows
you to have a cluster
of Asterisk servers all run off a live common config. No more having to
mess around with NFS or trying to sync config files :) Mark Spencer has
said he plans on putting this patch in Asterisk 1.1 or 1.2 but since 1.0.0
JUST came out you can bet it will be a while.

Yup, that's exactly what they do. We put the full LERG in
there which is
about 350,000 routes and it doesn't even bother it thanks to
MySQL's ability
to search records lightning fast.
We also use it to provision our customers and their routing
live via some
PHP scripts which simply write to the MySQL tables
appropriately. No more
restarting or reloading Asterisk :)

Michael,
I think your idea for a db_mode 3 is a good idea especially
considering that
I'll soon be in the same position as you with respect to ser.
On an Asterisk note you mentioned patches at
http://svn.asteriskdocs.org/res_data/. Do these patches allow
Asterisk to store
user and server configuration data in a MySQL database rather
than in .conf
files? If not, could you elaborate a bit on what these
patches fix or features
that they provide?
Best Regards,
Paul

thanks though.
I thought of that but the problem is that it takes up to
the max time of my
longest REGISTER client timer before its back in
sync with
the one that runs
off the DB. It would be nice if there was a 3rd
option i.e.
modparam("usrloc", "db_mode", 3) that would make it read
only
at startup to
"seed" the memory database. The reason
I need this is
because I have a few
SER servers behind a Foundry ServerIron XL layer
4 switch.
When I bring the
failed server back online the Foundry
automatically
recognizes that port
5060 is alive again and immediately starts
sending it
traffic. If the RAM
based location table hasn't been fully
populated by the
time this happens
then we have a bunch of failed calls until it
syncs up
which in my case is
up to 5 min. I can get around this manually by
removing it
from the cluster
config in the Foundry but that takes away from
the
automation of the whole
thing.
Andrei/Jiri, what do you guys think of adding that as an
option? It seems
to me that it would be the most logical way to go
about
doing it and should
be very easy to do since all it is combining
parts of mode
0 and 1/2. I
have little experience doing any programming in
SER
otherwise I would just
write it and submit it as a patch. Most of my
time gets
sucked up into
Asterisk patches (see
http://svn.asteriskdocs.org/res_data/
for MySQL
dynamic config files, this is a must for
carriers... Well
at least for me :)
), but if you 2 don't have time or don't
think its worth
while then I guess
I will have find time. Please let me know what
you guys
think of this as
> soon as you get a chance.
