I understand that it's possible to promote a "hot standby" pg server
simply by creating the failover file. In a scenario where there are
multiple standby servers, is it possible to point the other standby
servers to the new master without creating a new base backup?
When I tried to do this, I ran into the "timeline 2 of the primary
does not match recovery target timeline 1". I'm just trying to figure
out if that's because the procedure I followed to promote the standby
was wrong or because it's just not possible.
Thanks,
Andy
