Two CS1K’s, two sites: one “system.” Primary call server and backup call server. Geo-redundancy. Database is backed up to backup site during midnight routines and to removable media each night. Question about setting up IP phones.
Vendor recommended setting up 1140E IP phones like this: Server 1 (S1) is the backup site. Server 2 (S2) is the primary site. They say this is the best case scenario if the primary site fails and the backup needs to take over.
How bad would it be to reverse this? I.e., set up the primary call server as S1, and the backup call server as S2. During a failure at the primary call server, would the IP phone automatically reboot and then find S2 as the active server? Or would the IP phone just fail, and a manual reboot would be required?
Is this the common way to set up IP phones that can look to multiple call servers?
Thanks as always!
