 From OP:
"I have now been tasked with putting repmgr onto this box and converting
it from a standalone to a multiple node setup (I have two additional
servers lurking in the background ready for use ). "

That to me says there is data in the clusters that would need to be
migrated from the EDB instance(s) to the RPM instance(s). That could be
as simple as a dump/restore.
