Clustering of pgsql 9.2

От
Дата:

Dear All,

 

We have following environment for  database clustering at production environment:

1.       Postgres is running on RedHat 6 enterprise edition for primary and failover server

2.       SAN disk is available

 

Now I need help on following

1.       What should be clustering software used for Redhat clustering ? Can Veritas Clustering Software (VCS) clustering be used for clustering REDHAT OS?

2.       How the SAN disk can be used to store the data centrally? Can this be used as QUORAM disk?

3.       Is there any service for Postgres Database service clustering?

 

Please help me in providing details.

 

Regards

Shyamkant

This presentation gives you an overview about how to setup Red Hat High
Availability Addon (formerly Red Hat Cluster Suite) with PostgreSQL,
which matches your needs.

Thanks Scott again. Please find my comments below. As I am not big brain like you all experts . Also let me know how to compute IOPs for this ?

Looks like a large size database. However, I would be concerned about the throughput on a SAN. Also, you didn't specify the replication/failover stuff.

Shyamkant = This will be the failover scenario.

So...never replicate or fail over to the same hardware. I disagree with the concept of databases on SANs (and we can open THAT discussion in another thread). I will pretty well tell you that no one here has my IT/HA/OS experience. The Big Brains sure do know a whole lot more about PG, that's certain.

However, you are talking HA and failover (those are separate) and replication  (also separate).

I would love to advise you on this list where the Big Brains are watching.

So...

What's your primary server?

Primary & Secondary servers the RedHAT Enterprise 6.0 with Postgres SQL 9.3


Why does it need to replicate?

There is no replication  required. We want to achieve HA by storing the data on central server & clustering primary & secondary servers


Is PITR an option?

I do not know about PITR


Is PITR a necessity?

I do not know about PITR

 


How many servers are involved?

Only 02 servers (Primary & secondary)


What's your bandwidth between master and slave(s)?

1 G
