Ian thank you very much for the help. I found the problem. When an automated failover take places, the repmgr process on the failed node dies. Postgresql service stops on Node1 , Node2 is promoted as master automaticaly, but repmgr on node1 stops, and I need to start repmgr again after recover Node1. Is this the expected behavior?

Is there something wrong? Is repmgrd running on node1? Is its repmgr.conf file configured correctly, e.g. "failover=automatic" Regards Ian Barwick -- Ian Barwick http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
