Hey Folks, I want to run a warm standby scenario by you. I'm pretty sure it'll work, but it's a very large database so even the slightest mistake can mean a major setback.
Scenario: Server A is the provider node, shipping WAL files to Server B. Server B is destined to become the provider node (newer hardware), and has a sibling Server C that will be the warm standby. Here's the question: when I turn Server B into the production/provider node, it's going to switch into the next timeline. If I then attempt to put Server A (or Server C) into recovery mode, will it switch to the new current timeline, or complain about being in the older timeline? Do I have to take another full backup of Server B after it's become the production/provider node?
