tpaexec reconfigure v23

The tpaexec reconfigure command reads config.yml and generates a revised version of it that changes the cluster in various ways according to its arguments.

Arguments

As with other tpaexec commands, the cluster directory must always be given.

Changing a cluster's architecture

The following arguments enable the cluster's architecture to be changed:

  • --architecture <architecture>(required) The new architecture for the cluster. At present the only supported architecture is PGD-Always-ON

  • --pgd-proxy-routing <global|local>(required) How PGD-Proxy is to route connections. See the PGD-Always-ON documentation for more information about the meaning of this argument.

  • --edb-repositories <repositories>(optional) A space-separated list of EDB package repositories. It is usually unnecessary to specify this; tpaexec configure will choose a suitable repository based on the postgres flavour in use in the cluster.

After changing the architecture, run tpaexec upgrade to make the required changes to the cluster.

Changing a cluster from 2q to EDB repositories

The --replace-2q-repositories argument removes any 2ndQuadrant repositories the cluster uses and adds EDB repositories as required to replace them.

After reconfiguring with this argument, run [tpaexec deploy)(tpaexec-deploy.md) to make the required changes to the cluster.

Output format

The following options control the form of the output:

  • --describe Shows a description of what would be changed, without changing anything.

  • --check Validates the changes that would be made and shows any errors any errors or warnings that result from validation, without changing anything.

  • --output <filename> Writes the output to a file other than config.yml.

Sample invocation

$ tpaexec reconfigure ~/clusters/speedy\
  --architecture PGD-Always-ON\
  --pgd-proxy-routing local
