The AutoStart software is manually installed when you configure the pair of
CallPilot servers with the High Availability feature. The required AutoStart
software is included on the CallPilot 5.0 Applications CD.
This version of the software is tested and verified to work correctly with the
CallPilot 5.0 High Availability feature. The AutoStart software on the CallPilot
server must not be updated or patched unless the new software or patch is tested
and validated by Nortel.

.
Keeps the hard drives on both servers synchronized through a mirroring
process.
Manages the IP addresses of the ELAN subnet and Nortel Server
subnet, making the server pair appear as a single server to the network.
Provides a mechanism for administrator-initiated (manual) failovers.
AutoStart Agent—The Agent software resides on both CallPilot servers
and provides the disk mirroring and managed IP services. The AutoStart
Agent includes the set of processes that performs the AutoStart
monitoring and management functionality.
AutoStart Backbone—The AutoStart Backbone includes the processes
running on the AutoStart Agent that provide messaging services.
AutoStart Console—The Console software provides a visual interface
to the High Availability server pair and is used to administer the Agent
software installed on the CallPilot servers. By default, the Console
software is installed on both CallPilot servers so administration of the
pair can be done when the administrator is logged on to either server;
however, the Console software can also be installed on a PC on the
Nortel Server subnet for remote administration.
The AutoStart Console provides the following:
— A centralized monitoring and administration tool for taking managed
resources and resource groups online and offline, which reduces
administrative overhead.
— A real-time reflection of object states. As soon as AutoStart detects
a state change for an object, the graphical interface updates its
display to reflect that change. See
servers and failovers" (page
— An interface to define and configure all the managed resources from
a single local or remote location.
