Before you begin
Select a secondary appliance in your cluster to replicate from a primary appliance, and verify that the Postgres service is running on the primary appliance.
Postgres replication is the process of copying data from one database server to another. The source database is also known as the “primary” database, and the database receiving the copied data is known as the “secondary” database.
- On your secondary appliance, select Services > Postgres > Replication, and select Replicate from a remote database.
- Enter the appliance's IP address, and select Next.
- Select Next again.
You are redirected to the primary appliance to authorize replication
- Select Authorize <IP address of secondary> to replicate this database, then select Next to return to the secondary appliance.
- Select Begin Copy to perform the initial copy of the database from primary to secondary, then, if you are ready to copy and you have backed up the secondary's database (if needed), select OK.
- When the copy is complete, select Done.
