> Is there any tutorials or detailed instructions on how to set up HA postgresql & failover? The documentation (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/warm-standby-failover.html) on this topics is pretty scarce. > > The scenario I'm most interested in is this: > > 2 servers - a master and a hot standby. All writes are sent to master, reads are split between master and hot standby. > > 1) If the hot standby goes down, how do I redirect reads to the master? pgpool-II 3.0 will take care of this. > 2) If the master fails > -how do I automatically promote the standby to master and send all reads/writes to the new master? This is covered by pgpool-II 3.0 as well. > -what happens when the old master comes back up? Do I need to so anything to make it catches up to the new master? I recommend to use it a standby. Such a configuration is possible by using pgpool-II 3.0. -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc.
