+# Recovery procedures
+
+These instructions provide automated procedures for recovering from select failures of PE components which are managed by PEADM.
+
+Manual procedures are documented in [recovery.md](recovery.md)
+
+## Recover from failed Puppet primary server
+
+1. Promote the replica ([official docs](https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2019.8/dr_configure.html#dr-promote-replica))
+2. [Replace missing or failed replica Puppet server](#replace-missing-or-failed-replica-puppet-server)
+
+## Replace missing or failed replica Puppet server
+
+This procedure uses the following placeholder references.
+
+* _\<primary-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the Puppet primary server
+* _\<replica-postgres-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the PE-PostgreSQL server which resides in the same availability group as the replacement replica Puppet server
+* _\<replacement-replica-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the replacement replica Puppet server
+
+1. Run `peadm::add_replica` plan to deploy replacement replica Puppet server
+    1. For Standard and Large deployments
+
+                bolt plan run peadm::add_replica primary_host=<primary-server-fqdn> replica_host=<replacement-replica-fqdn>
+
+    2. For Extra Large deployments
+
+                bolt plan run peadm::add_replica primary_host=<primary-server-fqdn> replica_host=<replacement-replica-fqdn> replica_postgresql_host=<replica-postgres-server-fqdn>
+
+## Replace failed PE-PostgreSQL server (A or B side)
+
+The procedure for replacing a failed PE-PostgreSQL server is the same regardless of which PE-PostgreSQL server is missing or whether the name of the PE-PostgreSQL server is the same or different. This procedure uses the following placeholder references.
+
+* _\<replacement-postgres-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the new server being brought in to replace the failed PE-PostgreSQL server
+* _\<working-postgres-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the still-working PE-PostgreSQL server
+* _\<failed-postgres-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the failed PE-PostgreSQL server
+* _\<primary-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the Puppet primary server
+* _\<replica-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the replica Puppet server
+
+Procedure:
+
+1. Run the `peadm::replace_failed_postgresql` plan to replace the failed PE-PostgreSQL server:
+
+        bolt plan run peadm::replace_failed_postgresql \
+                primary_host=<primary-server-fqdn> \
+                replica_host=<replica-server-fqdn> \
+                working_postgresql_host=<working-postgres-server-fqdn> \
+                failed_postgresql_host=<failed-postgres-server-fqdn> \
+                replacement_postgresql_host=<replacement-postgres-server-fqdn>
+
+## Replace failed replica Puppet server AND failed replica PE-PostgreSQL server
+
+This procedure uses the following placeholder references.
+
+* _\<primary-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the Puppet primary server
+* _\<failed-replica-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the failed replica Puppet server
+
+1. Ensure the old replica server is forgotten.
+
+        bolt command run "/opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet infrastructure forget <failed-replica-fqdn>" --targets <primary-server-fqdn>
+
+2. [Replace failed PE-PostgreSQL server (A or B side)](#replace-failed-pe-postgresql-server-a-or-b-side)
+3. [Replace missing or failed replica Puppet server](#replace-missing-or-failed-replica-puppet-server)
+
+## Add or replace compilers
+
+This procedure uses the following placeholder references.
+
+* _\<avail-group-letter\>_ - Either A or B; whichever of the two letter designations the compiler is being assigned to
+* _\<compiler-hosts\>_ - A comma-separated list of FQDN and certname of the new compiler(s)
+* _\<dns-alt-names\>_ - A comma-separated list of DNS alt names for the compiler
+* _\<primary-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the Puppet primary server
+* _\<postgresql-server-fqdn\>_ - The FQDN and certname of the PE-PostgreSQL server with availability group _\<avail-group-letter\>_
+
+Procedure:
+
+1. Run the `peadm::add_compilers` plan to add the compilers:
+
+        bolt plan run peadm::add_compilers \
+                primary_host=<primary-server-fqdn> \
+                compiler_hosts=<compiler-hosts> \
+                avail_group_letter=<avail-group-letter> \
+                dns_alt_names=<dns-alt-names> \
+                primary_postgresql_host=<postgresql-server-fqdn>
+
+Please note, the optional parameters and values of the plan are as follows:
+
+<!-- table -->
+
+| Parameter                 | Default value | Description                                                                                                                    |
+| ------------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `avail_group_letter`      | `A`           | By default, each compiler will be added to the primary group A.                                                                |
+| `dns_alt_names`           | `undef`       |                                                                                                                                |
+| `primary_postgresql_host` | `undef`       | By default, this will pre-populate to the required value depending on whether your architecture contains HA and or external databases. |
