Jabber High Availability Setup

[alfonso.cornejo]

Hi,

I'm working on a deployment of IM&P Server v9.1 with a publisher and a subscriber in a cluster, I've configured HA for the cluster and it is working fine (when the pub goes down no one gets disconnected and all the chat services work fine) but I have a question about the configuration in the jabber software for windows, ios, android, etc:

Let's take a look to the jabber desktop for windows, when you configure the ip address of the server, what should you configure there??? in my case I've configured the ip add of the IM&P Pub and my users worked fine with all the services BUT if the pub goes down no one can login using the jabber (this make sense since is the pub add the one that the users are looking for in that config) unless I configure in this screen the ip add of the Sub.

Is there a configuration that can be done in order to have this automatic???

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Thanks alot for your comment!

Just one question, besides this DNS SRV config what do I need to configure in the IM&Presence Server in order to have this working???

How can I make jabber to know when to use one record or the other??

Thanks in advance for your help.
