I am attempting to set up an active/passive failover environment for postgresql-8.2. I created a failover domain with 2 nodes, one of them preferred, added a postgresql-8 resource and an IP address resource. Now when I set up a service I run into problems. The idea is to have both the postgresql-8 resource and the IP address resource within the service so that it will move the floating IP to the other node in the domain and start postgres on it. The IP portion seems to work fine but postgresql always fails. I get these error messages: Aug 14 15:40:47 cdb6 clurgmgrd[4106]: <notice> Starting disabled service 10.10.1.221 Aug 14 15:40:47 cdb6 clurgmgrd: [4106]: <info> Adding IPv4 address 10.10.1.236 to bond0 Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd: [4106]: <info> Starting Service postgres-8:cdb6 Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd: [4106]: <err> Starting Service postgres-8:cdb6 > Failed Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd[4106]: <notice> start on postgres-8:cdb6 returned 1 (generic error) Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd[4106]: <warning> #68: Failed to start 10.10.1.221; return value: 1 Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd[4106]: <notice> Stopping service 10.10.1.221 Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd: [4106]: <info> Stopping Service postgres-8:cdb6 Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd: [4106]: <err> Checking Existence Of File /var/run/cluster/postgres-8/postgres-8:cdb6.pid [postgres-8:cdb6] > Failed - File Doesn't Exist Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd: [4106]: <err> Stopping Service postgres-8:cdb6 > Failed Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd[4106]: <notice> stop on postgres-8:cdb6 returned 1 (generic error) Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd[4106]: <crit> #12: RG 10.10.1.221 failed to stop; intervention required Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd[4106]: <notice> Service 10.10.1.221 is failed Aug 14 15:40:48 cdb6 clurgmgrd[4106]: <crit> #13: Service 10.10.1.221 failed to stop cleanly Here are the relavent portions of cluster.conf: <failoverdomains> <failoverdomain name="cdb6_pgsql" ordered="1" restricted="1"> <failoverdomainnode name="cdb6" priority="1"/> <failoverdomainnode name="cdb5" priority="2"/> </failoverdomain> </failoverdomains> <resources> <clusterfs device="/dev/mapper/gfsvol1" force_unmount="0" fsid="36155" fstype="gfs" mountpoint="/mnt/gfs" name="gfs1" options=""/> <postgres-8 config_file="/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf" name="cdb6" postmaster_options="" postmaster_user="postgres" shutdown_wait=""/> <ip address="10.10.1.236" monitor_link="1"/> <script file="/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql" name="postgres"/> </resources> <service autostart="0" domain="cdb6_pgsql" name="10.10.1.221" recovery="relocate"> <ip ref="10.10.1.236"/> <postgres-8 ref="cdb6"/> </service> I looked into the init script failing to return zero issue and I don't think that is it. My postgresql startup script doesn't even show that there was an attempt to start it. When setting up a postgresql-8 resource I assume that 'config file' is the config file for postgres or is it the startup script '/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql'? Neither works for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
