Apologies for not having included the sr-users in the previous email.
Anyhow, the solution suggested by Social Boh indeed worked, as a side
effect of which we would not run into the issue described.
*NOTE:* There was a peculiar configuration in keepalived with keeping both
the nodes as BACKUP and setting the 'nopreempt' flag only in the actual
MASTER(one with higher 'priority') side to make the keepalived thing to
work properly.
However, I was wondering if someone could confirm if this issue has been
fixed inside the source code itself as I am using an older release v5.3.2

Thanks Social Boh,
I will investigate this possibility and if it does work in our case, that
should circumvent the issue.
In addition, is there a fix known to the SR-Users which could be available
inside the Dispatcher module to cause syncing just like the syncing is
there in the Dialog module via DMQ. I wanted to check this as I am using
v5.3.2 and unaware if new releases could have fixed this issue?

Maybe a option is leave the secondary like
primary when primary go up
newly.
Example: Primary go down, Secondary is the new Primary. Primary came back
up but Secondary still is the VIP and still process the calls.
Only if Secondary go down, primary is the new VIP.
The keepalived parameter for this behaviour is:
*nopreempt*

Hi All,
I am using Kamailio in HA mode with Keepalived providing the VIP(Virtual
IP) functionality, and have run into a rather peculiar issue.
*Setup:*
Caller ------------ KamailioVIP(*Primary *and *Secondary*
Kamailio)------- Callee
HA provided by Keepalived
DMQ is used between the Primary and Secondary Kamailio for dialog sync
*Issue Seen:*
*Suppose the Primary Kamailio has been brought down* and the Secondary
one is actually active and tied to the VIP.
When a call is fired from the Caller, it traverses through the Secondary
Kamailio and lands onto the callee. The dialogs are updated properly. At
this point, the Primary Kamailio is brought up, and dialog state is synced
due to the DMQ module.
The Keepalived will now attach the VIP to the Primary Instance. If the
caller hangs up the phone at this point, the BYE sip message traverses
through the Primary Kamailio instance to the callee and the call is
cleared, but there are two issues here.
1. The Primary Kamailio throws an error in *ds_load_remove() *saying
that it cannot find the load for the specific call id. This is apparently
due to the fact that the dispatcher data is not synced between the two
modules but dialog data is. So dialog wise, things are fine. Can this be
fixed somehow?
2. The above is still as grave a problem as the dialogs are cleared.
BUT, if we check the '*kamcmd dispatcher.list*' on the *SECONDARY*
kamailio even well after the call is cleared, the *DLGLOAD* shows 1.
Since we are using the *Call Load based distribution* for the
dispatching, this is effectively one call stuck on the dispatcher, which
leads to resource leak.
Is this a known issue, and if so, do we have a way to circumvent this?
Regards,
Harneet Singh
