Indeed, but PAF does not supports replication slots itself.

As far as I understand the pgsql RA, the parameter "replication_slot_name" is
only useful to generate the slot names, create them on all nodes and add the
"primary_slot_name" parameter in the generated recovery.conf files for each
node. Other admin considerations are in the hands of the user.

As PAF does not take care of the recovery.conf files altogether, it is
quite easy to have the same behavior: just create the required slots on all
nodes by hands and set up accordingly the recovery.conf files.

Hmm, that wiki page could definitely use updating. I'm personally not
familiar with pgsql, so hopefully someone else can chime in.

Another user on this list has made an alternative resource agent that
you might want to check out:

[ClusterLabs] Status and help with pgsql RA

2016-12-28 Thread Nils Carlson

Hi,

I am looking to set up postgresql in high-availability and have been 
comparing the guide at 
http://wiki.clusterlabs.org/wiki/PgSQL_Replicated_Cluster with the 
contents of the pgsql resource agent on github. It seems that there have 
been substantial improvements in the resource agent regarding the use of 
replication slots.


Could anybody look at updating the guide, or just sending it out in an 
e-mail to help spread knowledge?


The replications slots with pacemaker look really cool, if I've 
understood things right there should be no need for manual work after 
node recovery with the replication slots (though there is a risk of a 
full disk)?


All help, tips and guidance much appreciated.

Cheers,
Nils
