-      To install a snapshot package, it's necessary to install the 2ndQuadrant public snapshot repository,
-      following the instructions here: <ulink url="https://dl.2ndquadrant.com/default/release/site/">https://dl.2ndquadrant.com/default/release/site/</ulink> but replace <literal>release</literal> with <literal>snapshot</literal>
-      in the appropriate URL.
-    </para>

-      <programlisting>
-curl https://dl.2ndquadrant.com/default/snapshot/get/9.6/rpm | bash</programlisting>

+ <title>Using a witness server</title>
+ <para>
+   A <xref linkend="witness-server"> is a normal PostgreSQL instance which
+   is not part of the streaming replication cluster; its purpose is, if a
+   failover situation occurs, to provide proof that the primary server
+   itself is unavailable.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+   A typical use case for a witness server is a two-node streaming replication
+   setup, where the primary and standby are in different locations (data centres).
+   By creating a witness server in the same location as the primary, if the primary
+   becomes unavailable  it's possible for the standby to decide whether it can
+   promote itself without risking a "split brain" scenario: if it can't see either the
+   witness or the primary server, it's likely there's a network-level interruption
+   and it should not promote itself. If it can seen the witness but not the primary,
+   this proves there is no network interruption and the primary itself is unavailable,
+   and it can therefore promote itself (and ideally take action to fence the
+   former primary).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+   For more complex replication scenarios,e.g. with multiple datacentres, it may
+   be preferable to use location-based failover, which ensures that only nodes
+   in the same location as the primary will ever be promotion candidates;
+   see <xref linkend="repmgrd-network-split"> for more details.

-   <title>Caveats when using <command>repmgr node rejoin</command></title>
-   <para>
-     <command>repmgr node rejoin</command> attempts to determine whether it will succeed by
-     comparing the timelines and relative WAL positions of the local node (rejoin candidate) and primary
-     (rejoin target). This is particularly important if planning to use <application>pg_rewind</application>,
-     which currently (as of PostgreSQL 11) may appear to succeed (or indicate there is no action
-     needed) but potentially allow an impossible action, such as trying to rejoin a standby to a
-     primary which is behind the standby. &repmgr; will prevent this situation from occurring.
-   </para>
-   <para>
-     Currently it is <emphasis>not</emphasis> possible to detect a situation where the rejoin target
-     is a standby which has been &quot;promoted&quot; by removing <filename>recovery.conf</filename>
-     (PostgreSQL 12 and later: <filename>standby.signal</filename>) and restarting it.
-     In this case there will be no information about the point the rejoin target diverged
-     from the current standby; the rejoin operation will fail and
-     the current standby's PostgreSQL log will contain entries with the text
-     &quot;<literal>record with incorrect prev-link</literal>&quot;.
-   </para>
-   <para>
-     We strongly recommend running <command>repmgr node rejoin</command> with the
-     <option>--dry-run</option> option first. Additionally it might be a good idea
-     to execute the <application>pg_rewind</application> command displayed by
-     &repmgr; with the <application>pg_rewind</application> <option>--dry-run</option>
-     option. Note that <application>pg_rewind</application> does not indicate that it
-     is running in <option>--dry-run</option> mode.

-   A <xref linkend="witness-server"> is a normal PostgreSQL instance which

- <para>
-   A typical use case for a witness server is a two-node streaming replication
-   setup, where the primary and standby are in different locations (data centres).
-   By creating a witness server in the same location (data centre) as the primary,
-   if the primary becomes unavailable it's possible for the standby to decide whether
-   it can promote itself without risking a "split brain" scenario: if it can't see either the
-   witness or the primary server, it's likely there's a network-level interruption
-   and it should not promote itself. If it can see the witness but not the primary,
-   this proves there is no network interruption and the primary itself is unavailable,

- <para>
-  A common pattern for replication cluster setups is to spread servers over
-  more than one datacentre. This can provide benefits such as geographically-
-  distributed read replicas and DR (disaster recovery capability). However
-  this also means there is a risk of disconnection at network level between
-  datacentre locations, which would result in a split-brain scenario if
-  servers in a secondary data centre were no longer able to see the primary
-  in the main data centre and promoted a standby among themselves.
- </para>
- <para>
-  &repmgr; enables provision of &quot;<xref linkend="witness-server">&quot; to
-  artificially create a quorum of servers in a particular location, ensuring
-  that nodes in another location will not elect a new primary if they
-  are unable to see the majority of nodes. However this approach does not
-  scale well, particularly with more complex replication setups, e.g.
-  where the majority of nodes are located outside of the primary datacentre.
-  It also means the <literal>witness</literal> node needs to be managed as an
-  extra PostgreSQL instance outside of the main replication cluster, which
-  adds administrative and programming complexity.
- </para>
- <para>
-  <literal>repmgr4</literal> introduces the concept of <literal>location</literal>:
-  each node is associated with an arbitrary location string (default is
-  <literal>default</literal>); this is set in <filename>repmgr.conf</filename>, e.g.:
-  <programlisting>

+ <para>
+  A common pattern for replication cluster setups is to spread servers over
+  more than one datacentre. This can provide benefits such as geographically-
+  distributed read replicas and DR (disaster recovery capability). However
+  this also means there is a risk of disconnection at network level between
+  datacentre locations, which would result in a split-brain scenario if
+  servers in a secondary data centre were no longer able to see the primary
+  in the main data centre and promoted a standby among themselves.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+  &repmgr; enables provision of &quot;<xref linkend="witness-server">&quot; to
+  artificially create a quorum of servers in a particular location, ensuring
+  that nodes in another location will not elect a new primary if they
+  are unable to see the majority of nodes. However this approach does not
+  scale well, particularly with more complex replication setups, e.g.
+  where the majority of nodes are located outside of the primary datacentre.
+  It also means the <literal>witness</literal> node needs to be managed as an
+  extra PostgreSQL instance outside of the main replication cluster, which
+  adds administrative and programming complexity.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+  <literal>repmgr4</literal> introduces the concept of <literal>location</literal>:
+  each node is associated with an arbitrary location string (default is
+  <literal>default</literal>); this is set in <filename>repmgr.conf</filename>, e.g.:
+  <programlisting>
+    node_id=1
+    node_name=node1

+ <para>
+  In a failover situation, <application>repmgrd</application> will check if any servers in the

+  will assume a network interruption and not promote any node in any

+ <title>Using a witness server with repmgrd</title>
+ <para>
+   In a situation caused e.g. by a network interruption between two
+   data centres, it's important to avoid a "split-brain" situation where
+   both sides of the network assume they are the active segment and the
+   side without an active primary unilaterally promotes one of its standbys.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+   To prevent this situation happening, it's essential to ensure that one
+   network segment has a "voting majority", so other segments will know
+   they're in the minority and not attempt to promote a new primary. Where
+   an odd number of servers exists, this is not an issue. However, if each
+   network has an even number of nodes, it's necessary to provide some way
+   of ensuring a majority, which is where the witness server becomes useful.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+   This is not a fully-fledged standby node and is not integrated into
+   replication, but it effectively represents the "casting vote" when
+   deciding which network segment has a majority. A witness server can
+   be set up using <xref linkend="repmgr-witness-register">. Note that it only
+   makes sense to create a witness server in conjunction with running
+   <application>repmgrd</application>; the witness server will require its own
