Hello.

Sorry if this is redundant, but I can't find any 'cookbook' for getting this setup.

but, it doesn't go into setup details.

I have a few questions/issues, but figure I will attack it piecemeal, in chronological order.

RHCS is handling the fencing.
I have installed postgres on the local drive of the primary, with pgdata on the shared drive.
I am generally using the EnterpriseDB install package for v9.1.3 .

So, first, just how to install postgres on the secondary?

1)  If I leave it as secondary (non-active), it can't see the shared drive.  Is this correct/OK ?
If so, it will create its own pgdata locally, which is later ignored?

or

2)  Do I make it primary, then point its pgdata to the already existing data during install ?!?


Thanks.
