<p>I'm somewhat new to pgpool myself so this may be wrong but my understanding is that when a node (master or standby) fails pgpool marks that node as offline. When the issue with the failed node is resolved you must re-attach the node to bring it back into
the cluster using the pcp_attach_node command<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>pcp_attach_node 10 localhost 9898 user password node_id</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There may be a method to handle this automatically but I don't know it.<br>
</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left; direction:ltr; unicode-bidi:embed">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left; direction:ltr; unicode-bidi:embed"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left; direction:ltr; unicode-bidi:embed">If I understood correctly follow_master is called immediately after old master fails and new master is promoted. However, what if there is no connection to old master and the connection
resumes after few minutes. Will follow_master will be executed then?. Is there an automatic way to make the old master into a slave if the old master machine is reconnected only after an extended period of time? Who should monitor the old master connectivity?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left; direction:ltr; unicode-bidi:embed"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left; direction:ltr; unicode-bidi:embed">Thanks for all the assistance</p>
