Praefect is a manager aiming to maintain replicas for each repository. Praefect
is in active development. The goal is to achieve a highly available storage cluster,
but this is not the case yet, so it is recommended to run Praefect on a different node
than the Gitaly nodes.
[Gitaly Cluster](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/praefect.html) provides
fault-tolerant storage for repositories. It uses Praefect as a router and transaction manager for
Gitaly.

## Praefect settings
Praefect must be [enabled in GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/praefect.html#enable-the-daemon)
before it can be used.
By default, Gitaly Cluster is not enabled. For information on enabling Gitaly Cluster, see
the Gitaly Cluster [setup instructions](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/praefect.html#setup-instructions).

### Praefect storage nodes
## Update GitLab when Gitaly Cluster is enabled

Praefect needs one or more Gitaly servers to store the Git data on. These
Gitaly servers are considered Praefect `storage_nodes`
(`praefect['storage_nodes']`). These storage nodes should be private to
Praefect, meaning they should not be listed in `git_data_dirs` in your
`gitlab.rb`.
For information on updating GitLab with Gitaly Cluster enabled, see the
[specific instructions](../update/README.md#gitaly-cluster).
