pgd raft disable

pgd raft disable#

Synopsis#

The pgd raft disable command stops the Raft consensus worker on one or more nodes in the EDB Postgres Distributed cluster. When the worker is disabled, the node stops participating in Raft elections, ceases to send or receive consensus log entries, and will not act as a write leader.

Enabling the worker allows the node to participate in Raft elections, log replication, and cluster-wide state changes.

Note

The consensus worker remains in the disabled state until it is explicitly enabled using pgd raft enable or until the Postgres node is restarted, whichever occurs first.

Users and roles#

Requires the bdr_superuser role. See User roles .
