In some circumstances, like during [upgrades](replication/updating_the_geo_nodes.md) or a [planned failover](disaster_recovery/planned_failover.md), it is desirable to pause replication between the primary and secondary.

Pausing and resuming replication is done via a command line tool from the secondary node. Pausing and resuming replication is done via a command line tool from the secondary node where the `postgresql` service is enabled.
If `postgresql` is on a standalone database node, ensure that `gitlab.rb` on that node contains the configuration line `gitlab_rails['geo_node_name'] = 'node_name'`, where `node_name` is the same as the `geo_name_name` on the application node.
