PGSQL Warm Standby Server Setups

Setting Up a Warm StandBy Server
Below is an example or just an introduction of how to setup a Warm Stand By Server for a
Stand Alone Server on PostgreSQL 8.3 using pg_standby ,
postgres@ashokraj:~> ls
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 postgres users 4096 2008-12-29 15:29 basebkp
drwx------ 11 postgres users 4096 2008-12-29 16:29 data
As shown above I am having my stand alone postgres server running at data directory “data”
for which I am going to start a warm standby server on the same machine
• Configure the Standalone Db server

• Start the Back Up Mode
• Take The Base Back Up
• Stop The Back Up Mode
• Configure the Stand By Db server
• Start the Start By Server
• View The Logs
• Switching to The Stand by server
Configure the Stand Alone DB server
1) Edit the postgresql.conf file to activate the archive mode of the server and define
where to archive the transactional logs
postgres@ashokraj:~> vi data/postgresql.conf
archive_mode = on
archive_command = 'cp -i %p /d0/data/archive_backups/%f'
archive_timeout = 300s
2) Start the DB server
postgres@ashokraj:~> pg_ctl -D data start

server starting
3) Create some objects
postgres@ashokraj:~> psql
Welcome to psql 8.3.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
