Ok, so I am stumped... I have a lab i am trying to do..
10 phones
1 Call Manager 4.1
2 2801's
I have all the phones working with the call Manager but I only want 2 of them to work in fail over mode. Here is the kicker... I don't even want the other 8 phones to register on the gateways...not even as ephones.
What i am trying to do is replicate a location that might have 150 phones and one 2811 as a gateway.. (bad design I know but still happens) ... I know i could write a TCL script or use an SLA to monitor the link and write changes based on the sla but I don't really want to do that... ( unless there is no other way) Just wanted to see what ideas you might have...

The quality of a book is never equated to the number of words it contains. -- And neither should be a man by the number of certifications or degree's he has earned.

Ok, have you ever had one of those problem you thought way to much over and it was sitting right there in front of you... I feel so dumb for not being able to see this right away....
Now this is Dirty....But the whole situation is dirty...
First, don't even worry about trying to manually try to hardcode the IP/ephone information on the gateway.
Create two different Device-Pool's
Site1
Site1-Redundant
Site1's device pool set the SRST reference to Disabled.
Site1-Redundant's device pool set the SRST reference to the actual SRST Gateway.
Now add all the redundant phone's to the Site1-Redundant's device pool... Remember that the gateways are designed to handle a certain number of phones so don't put to many...
On Fail over only the device pool with the correct SRST reference will register correctly, the other phones will search for the ccm..The quality of a book is never equated to the number of words it contains. -- And neither should be a man by the number of certifications or degree's he has earned.
