Our production cluster (master and slave) runs on LXC container. Each LXC container runs on a HPE Blade Server. The storage is on a SAN 3PAR array.
Any advice ?

I am looking after some infrmation about this solution on their doc/irc...
Your opinion about it is important for me by knowing  you maintain PAF :-)

In fact, PAF does not support slots. So it is not a good candidate if slot are
a requirement.

If you want a simple and well community adopted solution, pick Patroni. It deals
with slots, rely on etcd or zookeeper, fit nicely with haproxy, deal with
watchdog to keep itself under monitor. However, it lacks of fencing and its
callback are asynchronous. You would have to take special care of your
network and master connectivity upon primary failure.

If you want something able to keep multiple services avaliable (PostgreSQL, vIP,
storage, pgBouncer, apache, whatever...), deal with dependencies, locations,
constraints, rules etc, pick Pacemaker (and a larger coffee machine). I would
(obviously) recommend PAF as resource agent for PgSQL, but you would have to
design your cluster without slots :/
