Hi, we spend some time looking to use heartbeat Pg 9.0 and warm standby replication option to configure a "master/slave" system. At the end we have implemented DRBD and STONITH for a master Pg server, DRBD is been used for for all Pg db directories the only exception is the Pg software and backup directory, so far we like that the fail over procedure is very simple and time efficient , Pg is in consistency state always after a clean or "immediate/fast" shutdown ; the downside : this solution is protecting us only from hardware issues not software/Pg issues aka :Pg data, log files corruption. Hope this may help with your decision, Isabella -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Heartbeat-pacemaker-configuration-for-PostgreSQL-log-shipping-tp3394494p3396099.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
