環(huán)境：
PostgreSQL 9.2.4
主機:192.25.10.76
從機:192.25.10.71
做postgresql的流復(fù)制主從時，會遇到調(diào)整max_wal_sengers這個參數(shù)，官方文檔對這個參數(shù)做了一個簡要的說明(9.2.4比早先版本多了幾句話并做了一些微調(diào))，但沒有實際的例子。
1.參數(shù)說明：
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent connections from standby servers or streaming base backup clients (i.e., the maximum number of simultaneously running WAL sender processes). The default is zero, meaning replication is disabled. WAL sender processes count towards the total number of connections, so the parameter cannot be set higher than max_connections. This parameter can only be set at server start. wal_level must be set to archive or hot_standby to allow connections from standby servers.
也就是說，這個參數(shù)是在主機上設(shè)置的，是從機連接到主機的并發(fā)連接數(shù)之總和，所以這個參數(shù)是個正整型。默認(rèn)值是0，也即默認(rèn)沒有流復(fù)制功能。該并發(fā)連接數(shù)從進程上看，就是各個wal sender進程數(shù)之和，可以通過ps -ef|grep senders來查看，所以該值不能超過系統(tǒng)的最大連接數(shù)(max_connections，該BUG在9.1.5被修復(fù))，可以允許超過實際的流復(fù)制用戶數(shù)。該參數(shù)更改需要重啟DB，比如我只配了一個從機:
[postgres@ndb2 database]$ ps -ef|grep sender
postgres 21257 21247 0 20:57 ? 00:00:00 postgres: wal sender process repuser 192.25.10.71(46161) streaming 0/4018ED8
postgres 22193 20949 0 23:02 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sender
2.異常情況
很多時候配置主從的時候會遺漏這個參數(shù)，或者沒有設(shè)置正確(比如實際配的從機數(shù)超過設(shè)置的連接數(shù))，這個時候一般會報錯 number of requested standby connections exceeds max_wal_senders (currently X)： 備機上顯示的日志異常:

遇到如此問題，則需要檢查postgresql.conf文件的max _wal_senders參數(shù)了。
3.參數(shù)生效
文檔上說明需要重啟DB使之生效，如果動態(tài)使之生效會報錯如下：
[postgres@proxy1 ]$ psql
psql (9.2.4)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# show max_wal_senders ;
max_wal_senders
-----------------
0
(1 row)
postgres=# set max_wal_senders=1;
ERROR: parameter "max_wal_senders" cannot be changed without restarting the server
postgres=#
補充： postgresql基于流復(fù)制 (streaming replication)的warm-standby
實例一枚：
Primary:
l 歸檔設(shè)置：
Wal_level=archive
Archive_mode=on
archive_command = 'cp -i %p /data/pgsql/archived_wal/%f'
l 流復(fù)制相關(guān)設(shè)置：
max_wal_senders = '10' #啟動復(fù)制進程數(shù)量限制，必須大于0
max_replication_slots = '10' #為使用replication slot，必須大于0；replication slot作用是保證wal沒有同步到standby之前不能從pg_xlog移走；
wal_keep_segments = '50' #指定pg_xlog中最少保留的wal數(shù)量
select pg_create_physical_replication_slot(‘gp1_a_slot'); #創(chuàng)建replication slot
select * from pg_replication_slots; #查詢創(chuàng)建的replication slot
l 編輯pg_hba.conf
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the replication privilege.
#host replication postgres 127.0.0.1/32 trust
#host replication postgres ::1/128 trust
local replication postgres trust
host replication postgres 192.168.12.0/24 trust
l 聯(lián)機備份過程（基礎(chǔ)備份）
#touch /var/lib/pgsql/backup_in_progress
$psql –c "select pg_start_backup('hot_backup');"
$tar -cf /var/lib/pgsql/backup.tar /var/lib/pgsql/data/
$psql -c "select pg_stop_backup();"
#rm /var/lib/pgsql/backup_in_progress
tar -rf /var/lib/pgsql/backup.tar /var/lib/pgsql/archive/ #打包歸檔
實例：
psql -c "select pg_start_backup('pgbk10');"
tar -zcf pgbk10.tgz data/
psql -c "select pg_stop_backup();"
Standby：
l 編輯recovery.conf
standby_mode = 'on'
primary_conninfo = 'host=192.168.12.38 port=5666 user=postgres'
primary_slot_name='gp1_a_slot'
#restore_command = 'cp /data/pgsql/archived_wal/%f %p'
#archive_cleanup_command = 'pg_archivecleanup /data/pgsql/archived_wal %r'
l 將primary上的基礎(chǔ)備份傳輸?shù)絪tandby上
$scp primary: /var/lib/pgsql/backup.tar .
解壓備份到standby上的$PGDATA
l 啟動standby
啟動standby后，postgres開始從primary上接收wal日志進行恢復(fù)，并且一直保持恢復(fù)狀態(tài)，psql不能登錄；
以上為個人經(jīng)驗，希望能給大家一個參考，也希望大家多多支持腳本之家。如有錯誤或未考慮完全的地方，望不吝賜教。
