##Overview

Postgres-XC (PG-XC) module. Configures a basic cluster and manages PG-XC service.

##Module Description

This module does not install PG-XC. It configures a Postgres-XC cluster on Debian system. It adds service script.
It adds bash scripts enabling high availability.

##Setup

###What postgres_xc affects

  • PG-XC configuration file
  • PG-XC service

###Setup Requirements

PG-XC should be downloaded and compiled from source.

PG-XC configures a cluster so it needs to be declared on many nodes.

This tutorial/module is designed for a 4 machines environment. The 4 hostnames are database1, database2, gtm and gtm2. GTM standby is installed on gtm2

Datanode_slave needs a ssh free password authentification between the two datanodes for data replication (by rsync)

To get High Availability the Postgres-xc documentation advises to install datanode, coordinator and gtm proxy process on the same server. GTM and GTM standby have to be installed on two other machines.

I use "database" to indicate the node with coordinator, datanode and GTM proxy.

For more information, you should read official PG-XC tutorial. This module configures the same cluster with a GTM standby. (GTM standby doc). It also installs datanode slave for datanode high availability : datanode HA configuration.

##Usage

Configuring database node

On database1 :


    class { 'postgres_xc': 
      database                  => true,
      other_database_hostname   => 'database2',
      other_database_ip         => '192.168.0.2',
      gtm_standby_hostname      => 'gtm2',
      gtm_hostname              => 'gtm',
    }

On database2 :


    class { 'postgres_xc':
      database                => true,
      other_database_hostname => 'database1',
      other_database_ip       => '192.168.0.1',
      gtm_standby_hostname    => 'gtm2',
      gtm_hostname            => 'gtm',
    }

Configuring GTM node

On gtm :


    class { 'postgres_xc': 
      gtm     => true,
    }

Configuring GTM standby node

On gtm2 :


    class { 'postgres_xc':
      gtm_standby     => true,
      gtm_hostname    => 'gtm',    
    }
