I need to do the setup for High availability function.
Also want to implement load balancing for 02 nodes.
You will have to build streaming replication which was introduced in PostgreSQL-9.0
I think PGPool will be require for that. Can I use PGPool without cost.
pgpool-II is an open source tool which can be used for connection pooling and load balancing.
Can I get the basic steps to do this setup?
Database -- Postgresql 9.1
OS -- Linux 6
Below is the link which explains the basic steps to setup "streaming replication"
By the way, version 9.1 is very old and will reach end-of-life soon. You are 4 major versions behind, did you consider using latest version ?
