Re: Recovery - New Slave PostgreSQL 9.2

Hi,

I'm a little late to this thread, but in looking at the errors you originally posted, two things come to mind:

First, when you built the slave server, I'm assuming you used pg_basebackup and if you did, did you specify -X s in your command?

Second, the missing history file isn't an issue, in case you're unfamiliar with this. However, yeah, the missing WAL segment is, as well as the bad timeline error.  Is that missing segment still on your primary?  You know you could just copy it manually to your standby and start from that. As far as the timeline error, that's disturbing to me as it's claiming the primary is actually a failed over standby. AFAIK, that's the main if not only way transaction timelines increment.

I would suggest, in spite of of the 2TB size, rebuilding the standby servers with a proper pg_basebackup.

Hi, thanks for your reply... I've been working on this problem for 20h =(
# cat postgresql.conf | grep synchronous_standby_names
#synchronous_standby_names = '' - It's commented 

# cat postgresql.conf |  grep application_name
log_line_prefix = '%m|%p|%q[%c]@%r|%u|%a|%d '
( %a = application name )

I can't resyc all the DB again, because it has 2TB of data :(

Is there anything else I can do?
Thank you

Hi there!
Yep, it's correct: 
It looks like You have a set up A (Master) ---> B (Replica) ---> C Replica (Base backup from Replica B)

Master (A): 192.168.100.1
Slave1 (B): 192.168.100.2
Slave2 (C): 192.168.100.3

My recovery.conf in slave2(C) is:
restore_command = 'exec nice -n 19 ionice -c 2 -n 7 ../../bin/restore_wal_segment.bash "../wal_archive/%f" "%p"'
archive_cleanup_command = 'exec nice -n 19 ionice -c 2 -n 7 ../../bin/pg_archivecleaup_mv.bash -d "../wal_archive" "%r"'
recovery_target_timeline = 'latest'
standby_mode = on
primary_conninfo = 'host=192.168.100.2 port=5432 user=replicator application_name=replication_slave02'
So, seems to be right to me... Is that u mean?

Thanks

Can you post the contents of your recovery.conf file, suitably

anonymised if necessary?

Hi Lucas,

I followed your question I generated the same error:

cp: cannot stat `/pgdata/arch/00000003.history': No such file or directory
2016-01-09 14:11:42 IST FATAL:  timeline 1 of the primary does not
match recovery target timeline 2

It looks like You have a set up A (Master) ---> B (Replica) ---> C Replica (Base backup from Replica B)

It seems you have used recovery.conf (to replicate from master to slave) to new replica setup C and there is high probability not changing the primary connection info
in C's recovery.conf (Replica B's Connection info)

During testing providing B's connection info in C's recovery.conf resolved the issue.

Please verify the Primary connection info parameter in recovery.conf (C replica) might resolve your problem.

Hi Lucas,
It looks like application_name parameter that set in recovery.conf may mismatch. 
Please verify the value to synchronous_standby_names  value set in the postgresql.conf of Replica - C and the value that using as application_name in recovery.conf

Also, check whether the Async replication works with out using application_name in recovery.conf of replica -C and check the status in pg_stat_replication catalog table.
