Identifies a Replication Manager site.
The syntax of this parameter in the DB_CONFIG file is a
single line with the string
repmgr_site, one or more
whitespace characters, the host and port parameters
specified as a string and an integer respectively.
This can optionally be followed by one or more
space-delimited keywords and
on/off. For
example:
repmgr_site example.com 49200 db_local_site on db_legacy off
Available keywords are:
db_bootstrap_helper
If turned on, the identified
site may be used as a "helper" when the local site
is first joining the replication group. Once the
local site has been established as a member of the
group, this setting is ignored.
db_group_creator
If turned on, this site should
create the initial membership database contents,
defining a "group" of just the one site, rather
than trying to join an existing group when it
starts for the first time. This setting is only
used on the local site, and is ignored when
configured on a remote site.
db_legacy
If turned on, specifies that the
site is already part of an existing group. This
setting causes the site to be upgraded from a
previous version of BDB. All sites in the legacy
group must specify this setting for themselves (the
local site) and for all other sites currently
existing in the group. Once the upgrade has been
completed, this setting is no longer required.
db_local_site
If turned on, specifies that
this site is the local site within the replication
group. The application must identify exactly one
site as the local site before replication is
started.
db_repmgr_peer
If turned on, specifies that the
site may be used as a target for "client-to-client"
synchronization messages. This setting is ignored
if it is turned on for the local site.
