Hi all, I am using postgresql streaming replication for my project. For automatic failover and online recovery I am trying to use pgpool-II. Failover is working fine. But in online recovery I am facing issue. When I am trying to recover master node (which was down earlier) as slave node then master gets up as master not as slave node. Following is the configuration Postgresql.conf (Slave) wal_level = archive archive_mode = on archive_command = 'cp -i %p /home/postgres/archive/%f' hot_standby = on Postgresql.conf (Master) wal_level = hot_standby archive_mode = on archive_command = 'cp -i %p /home/postgres/archive/%f' max_wal_senders = 10 wal_keep_segments = 32 hot_standby = on Pgpool-II configuration # online recovery user recovery_user = 'postgres' # online recovery password recovery_password = '' # execute a command in first stage. recovery_1st_stage_command = 'basebackup.sh' # execute a command in second stage. recovery_2nd_stage_command = '' Basebackup.sh psql -p $PORT -c "SELECT pg_start_backup('Streaming Replication', true)" postgres rsync -C -a -c --delete --exclude postgresql.conf --exclude postmaster.pid \ --exclude postmaster.opts --exclude pg_log \ --exclude recovery.conf --exclude recovery.done \ --exclude pg_xlog \ $SOURCE_CLUSTER/ $DEST_CLUSTER/ mkdir $DEST_CLUSTER/pg_xlog chmod 700 $DEST_CLUSTER/pg_xlog rm $SOURCE_CLUSTER/recovery.done #rm $DEST_CLUSTER/pg_hba.conf cat > $DEST_CLUSTER/recovery.conf <<EOF standby_mode = 'on' primary_conninfo = 'port=$PORT user=postgres' trigger_file = '/var/log/pgpool/trigger/trigger_file1' EOF psql -p $PORT -c "SELECT pg_stop_backup()" postgres Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
