Installing Postgres Enterprise Manager in HA Patterns

Before deploying High Availability PEM, please familiarize yourself with the high-level guidance in High Availability Patterns for PEM Deployment .

The following pages provide detailed instructions for some example of HA PEM architectures. They are not intended to be an exhaustive guide to all possible patterns.

• Deploying HA PEM with colocated web application and backend using EDB Failover Manager and Virtual IPs

• Deploying HA PEM with separate web application and backend using EDB Failover Manager and Virtual IPs

In addition, the following guides to specific elements of HA PEM deployment are provided:

• Storing user settings in the backend, accessible to all web application instances

• HA PEM using the C1 architecture with EFM and a Virtual IP
  • Initial package installation and Postgres configuration
  • User and access configuration on the primary
  • Configure PEM on the primary
  • Copy PEM configuration to the standbys
  • Set up the primary node for streaming replication
  • Set up the standby nodes for streaming replication
  • Configure SELinux
  • Register agents and servers on the standbys
  • Set up EFM to manage failover
• HA PEM using the S1 architecture with EFM and a Virtual IP
  • Deploying the PEM backend
    • Initial package installation and Postgres configuration
  • User and access configuration on the primary
    • Configure PEM on the primary backend node
    • Copy the configuration record to the standbys
    • Set up the primary node for streaming replication
    • Set up the standby nodes for streaming replication
    • Register agents and servers on the standbys
    • Set up EFM to manage failover
  • Deploy the PEM Web Application
• Storing user settings in the backend, accessible to all web application instances
  • Configure the PEM backends
  • Configure the PEM web applications
