Sun Cluster Data Service for PostgreSQL Guide for Solaris OS

ProcedureExample: Modifying the PostgreSQL Configuration File

  1. Modify the PGROOT and PD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables according to the needs of your build.

    The databases are stored under /global/mnt3/postgres/data.

    The log is stored under /global/mnt3/postgres/logs/sclog.


    phys-schost-1# PGROOT=/global/mnt3/postgres/postresql-8.1.0
    phys-schost-1# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0:/usr/sfw/lib:\
      /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib
    phys-schost-1# export PGROOT
    phys-schost-1# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    

    If you are installing the software in the default directory, set PGROOT to /usr/local/pgsql and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib.

  2. Copy the PostgreSQL configuration file from the agent directory to its deployment location.


    phys-schost-1# cp /opt/SUNWscPostgreSQL/util/pgs_config /global/mnt3
    
  3. Add this cluster's information to the configuration file.

    The following listing shows the relevant file entries and the values to assign to each entry.


    .
    .
    .
    RS=RS-PGS
    RG=RG-PGS
    PORT=5432
    LH=hahostix1
    HAS_RS=RS-PGS-HAS
    PFILE=/global/mnt3/postgres/RS-PGS-pfile
    .
    .
    .
    USER=postgres
    PGROOT=/usr/local/pgsql
    #PGROOT=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0
    PGDATA=/global/mnt3/postgres/data
    PGPORT=5432
    PGLOGFILE=/global/mnt3/postgres/logs/sclog
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib
    #LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
    #LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib
    
  4. Save and close the file.
