Also,
- who will add "hot_standby = on" in the new Standby and remove it from new 
Master?
- who will add "host    replication..." entry in the new Standby's pg_hba.conf?

I didn't find all these settings in basebackup. Though, we handle some of them. 
Please help.

mode?


I know there are lot of posts on online recovery and I have gone through them, 
but still I've some questions which are unanswered. They are:

In streaming replication mode, I have one Master (5432), and one Standby(5433), 
now once the failover happens,  I observe the following:

- cluster directory of new Master (5433) contains recovery.done
- postgresql.conf of new Master (5433) still contains "hot_standby = on". 


Is it fine?


Now, I want to bring up the original Master (5432) as a new Standby. Hence, I 
create basebackup and pgpool_remote_start scripts in the cluster directory of 
new Master(5433). Before I run pcp_recovery_node, how about the following 
things?

- existing cluster directory of old Master (5432). Who will remove it and when?

- recovery.done in cluster of new Master (5433). This needs to be removed Or? 
If yes, who will remove it?
- where will recovery.conf will reside now? in cluster directory of 5432 or 
5433?

Thanks.

Thanks Guys.

Since I use pgpool-II 3.0.4, I installed this function. and when I try to 
recover the original primary which was down, it recovers, but comes up as 
primary. It should actually be a standby, right?

I also the following line in pgpool.log:
Replication of node:1 is behind 67109104 bytes from the primary server (node:0)

It seems, I have done something wrong. Any clues here?

Thanks.

pgpool_walrecrunning is only usefull for streaming replication
mode in 3.0.x.

In pgpool-II 3.1 the function is not used anymore even in streaming
replication mode.
