This chapter describes how to create a streaming replication cluster using WebAdmin.
Streaming replication allows the creation of one or more standby instances, which connect to the master instances and replicate the data using WAL records. The standby instance can be used for read-only operations.
WebAdmin can be used to create a streaming replication cluster. WebAdmin allows the creation of a cluster in the following configurations:
Master-Standby Configuration: This configuration creates a master and standby instance together.
Standby Only Configuration: This configuration creates a standby instance from an already existing instance.
Point
A standby instance can be created from a standalone instance, a master instance, or even from another standby instance.
If a streaming replication cluster is created using WebAdmin, the network with the host name (or IP address) specified in [Host name] will be used across sessions of WebAdmin, and also used as the log transfer network.
To use a network other than the job network as the log transfer network, specify the host name other than the job network one in [Host name].
