Thread: warm standby

warm standby

I’m attempting a warm standby setup.  I’m running Postgres 8.3 on both master and slave.

Unfortunately the master is a 32 bit machine and the slave is a 64 bit machine.  Both running

Linux Redhat.  After I bring in the master base file copy into the slave and attempt to

Start postgres I get an ‘incorrect checksum’ error.  I begin researching.  Am I correct

In assuming that I must match the machine architecture (eg 32 bit  to 32 bit

Or 64 bit to 64 bit) on both machines for warm standby to work?

 

Thank you,

You do need the same architecture on both ends.  You might be able to
run a 32-bit build of Postgres on the slave, though.
