Keywords:
Use this procedure to convert a dedicated SBC in the Commissioned state to an HA deployment by joining the Commissioned SBC with another SBC that is in the Registered state. Both SBCs will be within the same EMS.
Caution:
Configuration changes are service affecting. Do these procedures during a planned maintenance window when there is no traffic on the system. Inform all users that calls cannot be placed during this time frame, and that any active calls will be dropped.
Before you begin
Collect the IPv4 IP address of the Commissioned SBC server to which you want to join as an HA deployment.
Confirm that the SBC you want to join in an HA deployment is in the Commissioned state and that the existing SBC is in the Registered state.
Take a backup of your system.
  1. Log on to the CLI of the SBC that is in the Registered state with administrator credentials.
  2. Enter the following command:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    sbceconfigurator.py join-ha <PEER_HA_IP>
    Where <PEER_HA_IP> is the IPv4 IP address of the SBC server that is in the Commissioned state.
    STEP RESULT:
    You will see the message Successfully joined HA Pair and processes are restarted on the current SBC.
    If you see error messages on the screen, contact Avaya support.
  3. Once processes come up on the current SBC, restart the processes on the peer Commissioned SBC so that the HA state comes up properly. Use the following command:
