[pgpool-general: 2931] pool members are reporting different backend states

[Attila Heidrich]

Dear Guys,

How on earth it is possible, that the pool members reports different
backend status? It will cause problems very soon I guess.

    Node: 1
    Host: 10.100.1.11
    Port: 5433

    Status: Up, in pool (1)
    WD status: Standby (2)

    Node: 2

    Port: 5433
    Weight: 0.500000
    Status: Up, in pool (1)

I have got five pool members, two of them are the backends themselves.

Every pool member has the other 4 as other_pgpool, and
heartbeat_destination, and the same two backend servers, here is the
relevant part of the config for all pool members:


nor-openfire-1:
    backend_hostname1 = '10.100.1.11'
    backend_port1 = 5433
    backend_weight1 = 1
    backend_data_directory1 = '/var/lib/postgresql/9.3'
    backend_flag1 = 'ALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'
    backend_hostname2 = '10.100.1.10'
    backend_port2 = 5433
    backend_weight2 = 1
    backend_data_directory2 = '/var/lib/postgresql/9.3'
    backend_flag2 = 'ALLOW_TO_FAILOVER'
    fail_over_on_backend_error = on

Other question:

Our servers are connected via two networks. Is it possible to specify a
pool member with both IP interfaces?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Network #1
             |                |                  |             |
        |
             S1           S2               S3          S4               S5
             |               |                    |            |
        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Network #2

none of the networks are connected with failover connections, both use
different IP subnets.
