This is a manual process in 9.2, i think it is the same in 9.1.x version as well.The process is -- Ensure master and standby are in sync before switching over- Promote standby- build recovery.conf at old master with the parameter recovery_target_timeline set to 'latest'- When you start the old master, it will ask for timeline history files which you need to manually transfer from new master- The old master must become standbyHope this helps and works in 9.1.x
I have tested this out and this procedure works in 9.1.x version too. So, you will need to shutdown the master first to ensure roles are successfully reversed.
