Thanks for sharing the patch. I checked the test and it looks good to
me. But I am not sure if we should have a new file for the test. I
have added the test in the '040_standby_failover_slots_sync.pl' file
along with some other tests.
Also I have addressed the comments by Ashutosh in [1][2].

I have attached the updated v4 patch
