Thread: Customize Postgresql HA structure

Customize Postgresql HA structure

From

Hi Team,

Can we build a HA structure with 2 standalone Postgresql-server?

In the theory,we should can build Postgresql-server in shared storage,

then we will prepare another cold standby Postgresql-server listening to the active server.

When the active crash or shutdown,the cold standby server will auto replace original server.

Is this feasible?Or where can we find related article?

Thank you & Best Regards

Harry Lu

Yes. Under Linux, you would have to use Pacemaker with:

* a decent SAN
* IO fencing and/or node feneing
* resource agent "Filesystem"

If I remember correctly, there was a HA cookbook describing this architecture.

Good luck.
