Provision and enable a replica using a PEADM installation

Before you begin:

Ensure you have completed the steps outlined in the Configure disaster recovery section.

The following outlines the varying processes to provision and enable a replica for standard, large and extra-large PEADM-configured installations.

A standard or large PEADM installation must use the peadm::add_replica plan to expand to a standard disaster recovery or large disaster recovery installation.
An extra-large PEADM installation must first use the peadm::add_database plan to prepare a replica-postgresql node before using the peadm::add_replica to complete expansion to an extra-large disaster recovery installation. When running the peadm::add_replica plan, you must also set the replica_postgresql_host parameter to the database host you just added with the peadm::add_database plan.
In a standard disaster recovery configuration, or extra-large disaster recovery configuration without compilers, you need to manually reset the PE agent node groups puppet_enterprise::profile::agent parameters with the new primary/replica addresses.
