repmgr primary unregister

Name

repmgr primary unregister -- unregister an inactive primary node

Description

Execution

repmgr primary unregister can be run on any active repmgr node, with the ID of the node to unregister passed as --node-id.

Execute with the --dry-run option to check what would happen without actually unregistering the node.

repmgr master unregister can be used as an alias for repmgr primary unregister.

Options

--dry-run

Check prerequisites but don't actually unregister the primary.

--node-id

ID of the inactive primary to be unregistered.
