[pgpool-general: 3176] Re: Cannot run 'show pool_nodes'

[jayknowsunix at gmail.com]

I had checked the iptables settings and 9999 was allowed in. I'm going try moving PostgreSQL to port 5433 and tell pgpool to use 5432. This way my end users won't have to modify their code, and as I know that 5432 is open as we're already connecting with that, it should just work. I'll post again when I'm done with this.

I have even restarted pgpool on each machine in the cluster and verified that the VIP was being managed by pgpool (the VIP disappeared while pgpool was off and came back when it was restarted.) i have also verified that connection pooling is on for each system. Is there something else I can check?

>>>>>> In response to my question yesterday, Ishii-san suggested running 'show pool_nodes;' I tried running this command this morning in a psql session, but was unsuccessful. The error was a simple not found one. Apparently, I've missed a step during setup, and I've been going back through the online tutorial, but I'm not seeing what I need. Also, looking online at what this command does, it doesn't appear to give more information than pcp_node_info does. That utility does work for me, btw. Am I mistaken? I'm just trying to determine which pgpool instance is the master in a master-slave configuration after a failover attempt.
