<font face="Calibri">Hi,<br>
<br>
It took me a while to found out what was wrong and I didn't find
any related issues on the web, so I thought I should share;<br>
I'm setting up a three node pgpool cluster (pgpool running on
every database server) and noticed that the watchdog process was
stuck after wd_init. As a result, failover of the pgpool didn't
work.<br>
<br>
The issue was I was setting up the cluster and didn't setup the
third one yet, but already included it in the pgpool.conf.
Apparently the lifecheck cyclus won't start if at startup time one
of the nodes is not available.<br>
Don't know if this is intended behaviour or changed in newer
versions, but I would think that it would be better to assume
nodes are down at startup, initiate some learning cycles and set
there correct status after that.<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
