Open regedit.exe

Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\potgresql-x64-9.4

Open key ImagePath

Change value - "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin\pg_ctl.exe" runservice -N "postgresql-x64-

9.4" -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\data" -w

to - "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin\pg_ctl.exe" runservice -N "postgresql-x64-9.4" -D "D:

\data" -w

Save the key

Change Start key value to 3

Close the regedit

Reboot the node

Do the same for the second node

Configure

Dabatase listening port - D:\data\postgresql.conf (port = 5432 # (change requires restart))

Install Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 13 on each cluster node

Stop YSoft service (at least the YSoftPGSQL service) on the server where YSoft SafeQ
Management Service server is installed

Move folder %SAFEQ_HOME%\PGSQL from SafeQ server to C drive of each cluster node (i.e C:
\PGSQL)

Move folder %SAFEQ_HOME%\PGSQL-data from SafeQ server to D drive (clustered disk) of the
cluster (i.e. D:\PGSQL-data)

On the SafeQ 6 server open regedit.exe

Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\YSoftPGSQL

Right click

Select export

Save the export to a file and copy the file to C drive of each node

On the cluster node, open explorer

Navigate to the saved export file and double click
