Hello, I am trying to switch the master and slave roles in a test I am doing with streaming replication in 9.1 beta.
To start with, I have one master (N1 node) and one slave (N2 node). I stop N1 and promote N2 as primary (by touching the trigger file). Now I wish for N1 to come back up as slave of N2. How should I do that ? I tried creating a recovery.conf in N1's directory, along with cleaning up its pg_xlog and pg_log. But when I start N1 and try to connect to it, I get the message: psql: FATAL: the database system is starting up And the log file of N1 says: FATAL: timeline 2 of the primary does not match recovery target timeline 1 Any ideas on what could I be missing ? Thanks, AJ
