<p class="MsoNormal">Hi pgpool-hackers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">we are using pgpool2-3.1.3 in a productive environment with streaming replication.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the single point of failure pgpool we have a corosync/pacemaker configuration on each database machine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once we had an automatic failover (because of a network failure) wich worked fine but which we did not realize!(?)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2 weeks later there was another failover (wich worked fine too :) and we were back on the obsolete database which was still up and open.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To prevent this we are planning to use the pgpool_status file on a shared storage and use it on startup/failover/switchover …<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This file seems to be written only in case of cleanly stopping the ppool.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think it would be useful to do this every time the status of a node is being changed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe is there another recommended way to solve our problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
