Run rsync>

If you have tablespaces, you will need to run a similar

where
! What this does is to record the links created by
! pg_upgrade>'s link mode that connect files in the
! old and new clusters on the primary server. It then finds matching
! files in the standby's old cluster and creates links for them in the
! standby's new cluster. Files that were not linked on the primary
! are copied from the primary to the standby. (They are usually
! small.) This provides rapid standby upgrades. Unfortunately,
! rsync> needlessly copies files associated with
! temporary and unlogged tables because these files don't normally
! exist on standby servers.
If you have tablespaces, you will need to run a similar
! rsync> command for each tablespace directory, e.g.:
!
!
! rsync --archive --delete --hard-links --size-only /vol1/pg_tblsp/PG_9.5_201510051 \
! /vol1/pg_tblsp/PG_9.6_201608131 standby.example.com:/vol1/pg_tblsp
!
!
! If you have relocated pg_wal> outside the data
! directories, rsync> must be run on those directories
! too.
