Hi;
I am using 3CX Standard Edition, I am trying to setup a standby server, in case of the primary out of service; I can easy to bring up the Standby server and shorter the length of downtime. In my test, my standby server is another IP address let's say 192.168.1.2 and the production server is 192.168.1.1. In my test, I restored the config file from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 and shutdown the server 192.168.1.1, then change the ip addres on host from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.1. (I am using Debian 9 for both 3CX from 3CX image)
When I power on the standby, I found that some function is not working, such as 3CX mobile, the desk phone is fine. When I check the Parameter in Settings, I found that a lot of parameter is still using the 192.168.1.2 ip address, I think; because when I setup the Standby server withh 3CX Debian image, I was using 192.168.1.2 during setup.
In order to prepare a Standby server for Standard edition, do you have any steps or experience to share?
Here is my step to setup the Standby server.
1. Build a new 3CX server with Debian image
2. Provide the ip address 192.168.1.2 during 3CX setup
3. Restore the config file from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2
