Example: Enabling the PostgreSQL Software to Run in the Cluster

  1. Create the directories for the databases and the log file.
    zone$ mkdir /global/mnt3/postgres/data
    zone$ mkdir /global/mnt3/postgres/logs
  2. Change to the PostgreSQL root directory and initialize the data cluster.
    zone$ cd /postgres/postgresql-8.1.0 
    zone$ ./bin/initdb -D postgres/data
  3. Start the database.
    zone$ ./bin/postmaster -D /postgresql-8.1.0
  4. Prepare the Oracle Solaris Cluster specific test database.
    zone$ ksh /opt/SUNWscPostgreSQL/util/pgs_db_prep -f /tmp/pgs_config
  5. Stop the postmaster.
    zone$ ./bin/pg_ctl -D /postgres/data stop
  6. Add the following line to the /postgres/data/postgresql.conf file.
    listen_addresses = 'localhost,ha-host-1'
  7. Add the following line to the /postgres/data/pg_hba.conf file.
    host all all 0.0.0.0/0 password
  8. Leave the zone.
    zone$ exit
  9. Run the pgs_register script to register the resource.
    phys-schost-1# ksh /opt/SUNWscPostgreSQL/util/pgs_register -f /global/mnt3/pgs_config
  10. Enable the resource.
    phys-schost-1# clresource enable RS-PGS
