Looks like a large size database. However, I would be = concerned about the throughput on a SAN. Also, you didn't specify the = replication/failover stuff.

So...never replicate or fail over to the same hardware. = I disagree with the concept of databases on SANs (and we can open THAT = discussion in another thread). I will pretty well tell you that no one here= has my IT/HA/OS experience. The Big Brains sure do know a whole lot more = about PG, that's certain.

However, you are talking HA and failover (those are = separate) and replication  (also separate).

I would love to advise you on this list where the Big = Brains are watching.

So...

What's your primary server=3F
Why does it need to replicate=3F
Is PITR an option=3F
Is PITR a necessity=3F
How many servers are involved=3F
What's your bandwidth between master and slave(s)
=3F

This presentation gives you an overview about how to setup Red Hat High
Availability Addon (formerly Red Hat Cluster Suite) with PostgreSQL,
which matches your needs.
