(END)

Environment

GDPB v7.5.5

Cause

This is caused by the recovery cluster already have some old or existing stanza setting there. It may located at /data/master at coordinator host or /data1/primary at the segment host. One example as below.

/data/master/stanza-1/archive/gpdb-seg-1/archive.info

Resolution

It's better remove or rename all the stanza-1 directory from all host of the recovery cluster before running "gpdr configure" from the primary cluster.
