gp_segment_configuration

The gp_segment_configuration table contains information about mirroring and segment instance configuration.

column type references description
dbid smallint Unique identifier of a segment (or master) instance.
content smallint The content identifier for a segment instance. A primary segment instance and its corresponding mirror will always have the same content identifier.

For a segment the value is from 0 to N-1, where N is the number of primary segments in the system.

For the master, the value is always -1.
role char The role that a segment is currently running as. Values are p (primary) or m (mirror).
preferred_role char The role that a segment was originally assigned at initialization time. Values are p (primary) or m (mirror).
mode char The synchronization status of a segment instance with its mirror copy. Values are s (Synchronized) or n (Not In Sync).

> Note This column always shows n for the master segment and s for the standby master segment, but these values do not describe the synchronization state for the master segment. Use gp_stat_replication to determine the synchronization state between the master and standby master.
status char The fault status of a segment instance. Values are u (up) or d (down).
port integer The TCP port the database server listener process is using.
hostname text The hostname of a segment host.
address text The hostname used to access a particular segment instance on a segment host. This value may be the same as hostname on systems that do not have per-interface hostnames configured.
datadir text Segment instance data directory.
