Performing post-installation tasks

If you are using Failover Manager to monitor a cluster owned by a user other than enterprisedb or postgres, see Extending Failover Manager Permissions .

After installing Failover Manager on each node of the cluster, you must:

1. Create the cluster properties file on each node.

2. Create the cluster members file on each node.

3. If applicable, configure and test virtual IP address settings and any scripts that are identified in the cluster properties file.

4. Start the Failover Manager agent on each node of the cluster. For more information about controlling the Failover Manager service, see the section Controlling the Failover Manager Service.
