.TH "PG_AUTOCTL ENABLE SECONDARY" "1" "Nov 25, 2023" "2.1" "pg_auto_failover"
.SH NAME
pg_autoctl enable secondary \- pg_autoctl enable secondary
.sp
pg_autoctl enable secondary \- Enable secondary nodes on a formation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
This feature makes the most sense when using the Enterprise Edition of
pg_auto_failover, which is fully compatible with Citus formations. When
\fBsecondary\fP are enabled, then Citus workers creation policy is to assign a
primary node then a standby node for each group. When \fBsecondary\fP is
disabled the Citus workers creation policy is to assign only the primary
nodes.
