Thread: pgpool2 master fail problem
Hi all, i try to build a postgresql cluster using postgresql 9.1.3 and pgpool2 3.1.2. I want to setup this cluster as a master/slave with streaming copy. Everything is ok execept the case when the masters fails,and i try to recover it, because the old master recovers as master instead of slave. I have installed pgpool-walrecrunningon both servers but still does not seems to work. any ideea ?

I'm not sure I fully understand your complain but I guess you expected the failed master became new standby by just restarting it? That is not allowed with streaming replication system anyway. You need to recreate the failed master as a new standby from base backup. Pgpool provides a convenient way called "online recovery" to do that. See pgpool manual or tutorials at pgpool web site (http://www.pgpool.net), especially this one: http://www.pgpool.net/pgpool-web/contrib_docs/simple_sr_setting2_3.1/index.html -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc.

I have installed pgpool-walrecrunningon both servers but still does not seems to work. in addition to the streaming replication built into postgres, you need some form of cluster management software running over the top of this to manage the transition states, ensure that you don't have two masters, etc. as another said, the previously failed master has to be brought online as a new slave -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
