Configuring the Primary server for High Availability

Last Updated : Dec 04, 2024 |

About this task

Using EM, perform the following procedure to configure the role of Avaya Aura® MS as a Primary server in a 1+1 High Availability cluster:

Deploy two media servers to be configured as the Primary and Backup servers.
Ensure to replace the default staging certificates. See Replacing Default Staging certificates for the procedure.
The Primary and Backup servers must have identical configuration so that either server can take over the full media processing load. Ensure that the servers in this cluster meet the 1+1 High Availability requirements listed at the beginning of this section.
Ensure that the system is configured with a license.

To designate Linux® based Avaya Aura® MS as a Primary server, navigate to EM > Cluster Configuration > Server Designation.
In the Local Server section, set the Role to Primary.
Note the Primary node IP address and the UUID since you will need this information later when configuring the Backup server.
In the Replication Account section, ensure Enable Replication Account is selected.
In the Username, Password, and Confirm Password fields, enter a user name and password.

Important:
Use the same Replication Account user name and password on both servers in the High Availability pair.
Click Save.
Click Confirm.

Deploy and configure a Backup server for High Availability.
