pg_autoctl enable secondary

pg_autoctl enable secondary - Enable secondary nodes on a formation

Synopsis

This feature makes the most sense when using the Enterprise Edition of pg_auto_failover, which is fully compatible with Citus formations. When secondary are enabled, then Citus workers creation policy is to assign a primary node then a standby node for each group. When secondary is disabled the Citus workers creation policy is to assign only the primary nodes.

 usage: pg_autoctl enable secondary  [ --pgdata --formation ]

--pgdata      path to data directory
--formation   Formation to enable secondary on

Options

--pgdata: Location of the Postgres node being managed locally. Defaults to the environment variable PGDATA. Use --monitor to connect to a monitor from anywhere, rather than the monitor URI used by a local Postgres node managed with pg_autoctl.
--formation: Target formation where to enable secondary feature.
