<div>We have been successful running multiple instances of

wondering if there is any value in taking advantage of the
Proxmox High Availability or Cluster (Which I don't have

<div>I think it would be great if I get a brief of over-view of HA

Hello<br>
We use Asterisk on hardware because we still have a pots line and
use queues . [ I read in the past that queues + virtualization did
not work well .]<br>
<br>
Our high availability set up on h/w uses drbd and heartbeat . if
the phone system breaks or has to be restarted to use a new kernel
then the secondary takes over. Of course restarts due to kernel
upgrade is done off hours and I always do this before a switch
over: <tt>asterisk -rx "core show channels"</tt><br>
I like the proxmox 2.0 high availability setup better then our
drbd/heartbeat method , mainly because it is easier for others to
understand and administer. <br>
<tt><br>
</tt> In my opinion , high availability for asterisk is very
important. Having a set up that makes it so if a motherboard broke
, that Asterisk would be running with in 60 seconds or less to
another node is excellent, and that is what proxmox 2.0 high
availability should do. <br>
<br>
for not interrupting a phone call the best way to better then
that is to use the best hardware a business can afford. <br>
<br>
BTW: do you use queues using openvz?<br>
