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# PG_ROOT=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0
    phys-schost-1# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0/lib \
    phys-schost-1# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw.lib
    phys-schost-1# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PG_ROOT
    
  2. Store the pfile in a directory in the zone clu1.

    The configuration file name must be available in the zone.

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


    phys-schost-1# cp /opt/SUNWscPostgreSQL/util/pgs_config /global/mnt3
    
  4. 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
    .
    .
    .
    
    # local zone specific options
    ZONE=clu1
    ZONE_BT=RS-PGS-ZONE
    ZUSER=postgres
    PROJECT=
    .
    .
    .
    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=/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib
    #LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib
    ENVSCRIPT=
    SCDB=sctest
    SCUSER=scuser
    SCTABLE=sctable
    SCPASS=scuser
    
  5. Save and close the file.

  6. Transfer this configuration file in the zone clu1 under /tmp/pgs_config.


    phys-schost-1# scp /global/mnt3/pgs_config clu1:/tmp
