Hi Experts,
I had done replication earlier in EDB 9.6 version using simple WAl replication.
My master server is listening on localhost.
Example:
listen_addresses = 'localhost,158.245.240.209'
I have another additional IP configured on my both master and slave servers which is a dedicated network for my replication traffic example,
Primary : 172.176.43.112 , Salve: 172.198.47.101 ,
Question:
Can I configure this Ip only for replication ?
Yes via pg_hba.conf
My understanding:
postgresql.conf:
listen_addresses = 'localhost, < what all ips we should configure here>' /// Do I need to add these replication traffic ip address here?? Please help
On Master
wal_level = logical or Hot_Standby
max_wal_senders = 4
max_replication_slots = 4
On Replica
In addition to the above, the following need to be configured on the replica:
hot_standby = on
hot_standby_feedback = on
pg_hba.conf:
host replication repuser 172.198.47.101 /32 md5
Salve:
standby_mode = 'on'
primary_conninfo = 'host=172.198.47.101 port=5432 user=foo password=foopass'
restore_command = 'cp /path/to/archive/%f %p'
archive_cleanup_command = 'pg_archivecleanup /path/to/archive %r'
One more question?
If I have to replicate the replication traffic from master to 2 different sites.
Site1 ( Production) Active: One Primary (read write) M1 , 2nd one is Slave (read only) S1
Site2(Disaster) Passive : One Primary (read write) M2 2nd one is Slave (read only) S2
Note: I have already configured replication within the site1 , where slave get the wal file using wal replication.
Question?
Do I need to add another server as slave the Site 2 and replicate from the Production Primary ? what is the best practise. ?
The sync I have plan is : M1->S1 & M2 , and then M2->S2 // please advise.
The are a lot of things to consider and lots of choices as well. Availability/reliability of the master is one thing VS things that can go wrong in the remote network.
What you have in mind (site2 : One Primary (read write)) is doable with logical replication which takes a different approach to physical. More flexible for sure but also needs more work and planing to be done.
Why do you want M2 to be read/write?
