Hi, I have recently tried pg_ctl promote to promote one of our standby server to promote as primary server. Eventually I will be doing this in production. I could successfully execute the pg_ctl promote command. My only question do I have to change postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf files manually to have parameters/settings specificto read/write server. For example: hot_standby to off from on in postgresql.conf host replication all (remove this from pg_hba.conf) Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/pg-ctl-promote-tp5787858.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
