<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am trying to configure pgpool-II for HA using watchdog.</div>
<div>I am running into the following issue: if I specify the delegate_IP parameter on both pgpool hosts, then whichever one is brought up second fails:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>2015-05-18 16:11:44: pid 26948: LOCATION: wd_ping.c:309</div>
<div>2015-05-18 16:11:44: pid 26948: FATAL: failed to initialize watchdog, delegate_IP "10.61.156.162" already exists</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And all processes then terminate.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please help me understand the proper configuration. I am setting</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>delegate_IP = ’10.61.156.162’</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see that the interface is brought up and bound to that IP on the first instance, using ifconfig:</div>
<div>
<div>eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:39:17:DF</div>
<div> inet addr:10.61.156.162 Bcast:10.61.156.255 Mask:255.255.255.0</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there some setting to tell pgpool process that it is master or standby? How do I set delegate_IP so that failover will bring up the IP on the promoted machine?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you could also reply directly, I would appreciate it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
