Cisco IM&Presence Persistent chat redundancy

[Alexey Smirnov]

Hello

I have an installation of IM&Presence 10.5 with 2 servers in subcluster. During the outage of the first server my client (Cisco Jabber for Windows) automatically reconnects to the subscriber thus performing high-availability.

But if I create a persistent chat room with a name "test" and a particular persistent chat alias, which is tied to the first server (publisher), this room becomes unavailable when this publisher is down.

Is there any way to implement high-availability in this case? Or the only choice is to develop a custom "XMPP-proxy" for this?

Thanks!

Hi Alexey

The following link seems to say that is an expected behaviour

Thank you, Carlo.

The document you sent says

On all clients, any persistent chat rooms that users create on the failed node cannot be accessed again until recovery.

Hope Cisco will do something about it the next releases.
