[Pgpool-general] Question about Online Recovery

Tue Apr 7 21:19:06 UTC 2009

Hi Harold,

Attached is the steps to recover the database using pgpool recovery node.
(the document is not a standard, i prepared while i was testing pgpool
recovery)
Email me for any questions on pgpool recovery i will try to answer to my
best of knowledge.

------------------------------------------------------
Question: have a couple of errors.
LOG: could not receive data from client: connection reset by peer
LOG: unexpected EOF within message length word

Let me know if pgpool is working fine or not?

------------------------------------------------------
You dont need to define postgres password, but you have to create user id
and password for using the file pcp.conf file under "/opt/pgpoolII/etc/"

snippiet form pcp.conf file..
# USERID:MD5PASSWD
pgpuser:09613b137a2e9be2ae93588c5970ab53

my pcp_recovery_node command looks like this
usr/pgpool-II/2.2RC2/bin/pcp_recovery_node 20 <hostname> 9898 pgpuser
test123 1
------------------------------------------------------

My suggestion is execute your scripts base-backup.sh, pgpool-recovery.sh,
pgpool_remote_start manually and see if it works or not. If your scripts
work manually then pcp_recovery_node command should also work.
Enjoy
