4 server redundant solution

• Servers 1 and 2 (S1 and S2) are identical. They serve as gateways with Asterisk + MOR installed.
• Both of them have two network interfaces - one for Virtual IP which is visible from outside, and one for local IP for interconnection heartbeat monitoring
• LinuxHA heartbeat monitors servers, e.g.
  • When S1 fails - S2 sees that and after 10s (default) will take Virtual IP, e.g. will start to serve calls, it is done automatically
  • When S1 is back up - S2 returns Virtual IP to S1 and system starts to function in normal work flow (done automatically).

• Servers 3 and 4 (S3 and S4) are identical. They serve as MySQL DB.
• Both of them have two network interfaces - one for Virtual DB IP (Virtual IP No. 2) which is visible for Asterisk servers S1 and S2, and one for local IP for interconnection heartbeat monitoring
• LinuxHA heartbeat monitors servers, e.g.
  • When S3 fails - S4 sees that and after 10s (default) will take Virtual IP, it is done automatically
  • When S3 is back up - S4 returns Virtual IP to S3 and system starts to function in normal work flow (done automatically).
  • S1 connects to S3 over Virtual DB IP
• DBs on S3 and S4 are synchronized over MySQL Replication
