Hi,

 

I have PosgreSQL primary and a local standby(same data center) and a remote standby for DR purposes. Currently repmgr is enabled on the same servers for an automatic failover but it's running into split brain issues.

 

I have two questions:

  1. In order to avoid split-brain between primary and local standby, can repmgr be set up on a separate witness node to help provide fencing or prevent a split brain?
  2. If so, can I use the same witness server for multiple sets of primary and secondary postgresql servers/clusters? like one witness server for one environment that can have multiple postgreSQL clusters? Is there any document available for that configuration?

Thanks
Amit
