Istalling additional tel server into old cluster WARNING!

Postby xtdirect » Thu Dec 09, 2021 6:21 pm

Vicibox express 7
VERSION: 2.14-667a
BUILD: 180331-1715

Background:
Need to install an additional telephony server into an existing old cluster.
The cluster consists of a database, web and three telephony servers.
I have 4 new servers staged with Phase 1 installation complete using the same vicibox 7 iso as the cluster.
The new servers will be telephony servers in the cluster.
When I run "vicibox-install" I get the warning below:

****************************
Do you want to continue with the ViciBox install? [y/N] : y

Do you want to enable expert installation? [y/N] : n

The Internal IP address found was 10.0.1.104.
Do you want to use this IP address for ViciDial? [Y/n] : y

Will this server be used as the Database? [y/N] : n

Please input the master database IP address (10.0.1.104) : 10.0.1.70
Do you want to connect using the default ViciDial DB settings? [Y/n] : y
Database entry does not match settings supplied! Enabling legacy mode!
Please verify all data before continuing! Installing on a cluster that
is already set-up can cause irreparable damage! You have been warned.
***************************************************

When I run mysql -h 10.0.1.70 -u cron -p1234 asterisk -e "select * from vicidial_users";
The new server is able to log in and read the database.

Running the following:
# cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/
# svn info

Shows the same svn version E155007 on both the database and the to be installed telephony server.

Question
Why am I receiving the Legacy warning?
What could the ramifications be for the existing cluster if it fails?
Any steps to resolve this?

Thanks in advance for your input.

if I were you, I will reinstall primary db server again with default db settings and then add other servers. I think the warning says that you have used non-default database settings on the primary DB and if you remember that, you should match those setting on every server you need to add to cluster..

Thanks for the response.
The db has 10 years worth of logs. so it would be no easy task... and I am not sure how to re-adopt the web and existing telephony servers.... (re-run vicibox-install)??
My gut tells me this is a false error as the potential new box is able to login to the DB with the default credentials.

I'm just not clear on what would happen if I proceed with the install.

If the new telephony server would just not be adopted, I could live with that. But if it messes up the existing cluster... that would be an issue.

I would dump the logs and only keep what you need.

Then dump the database and load into a fresh machine to see if any issue. If all is good, i would recommend to upgrade to V9 and Opensuse15.2

Just my 2cents
Built too many to count, Centos7 Scratch install, Opensuse Scratch install, Centos8 Scratch install, etc.
