After two attempts I’m stumped.
GOAL : replace running FreePBX server with same software but better hardware
We have FreePBX running on a dual core desktop machine.
We purchased better hardware (quad core), more RAM, etc.
We want FreePBX running on this new hardware.
Thus far we’ve installed FreePBX on the new hardware.
Backed up the running server and restored it on the new hardware.
Changed IP of new hardware to IP of old server and powered off the old server.
That doesn’t work well. The asterisk console scrolls nonstop errors about creating Contacts and pjsip errors in various c-libraries.
What steps are we missing here? And I’m looking for details.
One thing I discovered is that after switching to the new box we must reboot all the Grandstream phones.
Please offer your step-by-step instructions if you’ve done this sort of upgrade before. We’re seriously stumped over here.
PS - This is our “upgrade” process because if it doesn’t work we just fail back to the well behaved running machine on its older hardware.
