In chapter 4.4.3. Data Replication [1] there is "Important" block which is not fully correct. Could you change:
Important
This is an important distinction from a shared-store backup where the backup will just activate and start to serve client requests if it does not find a live server. Note also that in replication the backup server does not know whether any data it might have is up to date, so it really cannot decide to activate automatically. To activate a replicating backup server using the data it has, the administrator must change its configuration to make it a live server by changing slave to master.
