Managing Cluster
After successfully setting up the PortSIP PBX cluster, you can manage it easily.
Managing Servers
On each cluster server (not the PBX server), you can use the following commands to manage it.
In the commands, use the parameter -s to specify the service name, PortSIP PBX supports these services:
media-server-only
queue-server-only
meeting-server-only
vr-server-only
Start Server
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh cluster_ctl.sh start -s media-server-only
You can replace the media-server-only with another service name such as mentioned above.
Restart Server
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh cluster_ctl.sh restart -s media-server-only
Check Status
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh cluster_ctl.sh status -s media-server-only
Stop Server
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh cluster_ctl.sh stop -s media-server-only
Remove Server
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh cluster_ctl.sh rm -s media-server-only
Managing IM Server
Start Server
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh im_ctl.sh start
Restart Server
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh im_ctl.sh restart
Stop Server
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh im_ctl.sh stop
Check Status
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh im_ctl.sh status
Remove Server
cd /opt/portsip
sudo /bin/sh im_ctl.sh rm
Adding Servers
As the scale of your business expands, you may need to add more servers to the existing cluster.
To do this, simply follow the topics on Preparing Cluster Servers and Configuring Cluster Servers to add servers. Then, restart the resource load balancer and all cluster servers - there is no need to restart the PBX server.
Please note that restarting the resource load balancer and servers will affect the calling service, so it is recommended to do this in the middle night.
Upgrading Servers
It’s crucial to keep your cluster servers updated in line with the latest PortSIP PBX releases. This ensures that all features function as expected and that your system maintains optimal performance and security.
Whenever a new version of PortSIP PBX is released, it’s essential to upgrade your installed cluster servers as well. Follow the steps below to ensure a successful upgrade.
Upgrading the Main PBX Server
