Hi all,
I've been searching for a way to initialize a new Hot Standby node with Streaming Replication withou the need for stop or even restarting the master.
Of course the master is already with the needed SR configs.
I know I have to use pg_start_backup/pg_stop_backup, but i'd like some tips, or a link to some tutorial, with the order of the steps.
I assume will be something like:
- configure Slave for SR
- pg_start_backup()
- rsync PGDATA to slave
- start PG on the slave
- pg_stop_backup()
Anything i'm thinking wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Gabriel
