Hi, I'm trying to set up at least 3 servers using hot standby streaming replication. I'd like to have one primary and 2 secondary (on 2 different locations in case of a desaster in the server room). A primary B secondary 1 C secondary 2 (on a different location that A and B) Are the following actions in case of recovering to any of the standby servers (B or C) correct ? 1. primary A crashes/maintenance or whatever 2. creating the trigger file on B brings this server to life. 3. stop server on C 4. make base backup on B and install it on C and A (if already available) 5. change primary_conninfo in recovery.conf on A,C to reflect new primary B 6. start server on A,C These actions should all be automated, since I have no redundancy between step 1 and 6, so in case something happens to the just switched over new primary, I have no up to date server to bring up from standby. Making base backup takes ~10 mins, installing probably also about 10 mins, so I have 20 minutes, where nothing should happen to B :-( But maybe I'm also missing something. regards Gerhard -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
