Thread: Error while starting EFM

Error while starting EFM

From
Mahendra Singh

Dear Experts,

I am unable to start EFM due to the below error.

edb-efm-4.9.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
edb-efm-4.9.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Failed to start EnterpriseDB Failover Manager 4.9.

Below is the startup log.
Could not validate pg_wal directory:
sudo -u enterprisedb /usr/edb/efm-4.9/bin/efm_db_functions validatepgwaldir /etc/edb/efm-4.9/efm.properties
id: 3
exit status: 1
output:
ERROR: Could not read value of db.data.dir from /etc/edb/efm-4.9/efm.properties
error:
grep: /etc/edb/efm-4.9/efm.properties: Permission denied
Using ssl mode: disable

It looks like much of the documentation for EFM errors are not available on google. 

Regards,
Mahendra Singh

Please contact EDB support. This is not the appropriate place for help 
on that.

There seems permission issue with efm.properties and efm.nodes files, these files need to have access from enterprisedb
userif using EDB Postgres. 



Thanks and Regards,

Also verify if the data directory mentioned in efm properties file is correct or not and check the permissions of that file.
