[pgpool-general: 3487] Reg Failover script in Pgpool

[Gurunadh Venkata]

Dear All,


I have setup the load balancing and failover for Availability in pgpool. I
have used the Master-slave replication(stream mode) for replication.

The following is my failover_command ='/usr/local/etc/failover.sh %d %P %H
%R'


Following is the failover script.

#!/bin/bash -x
FALLING_NODE=$1         # %d
OLDPRIMARY_NODE=$2      # %P
NEW_PRIMARY=$3          # %H
PGDATA=$4               # %R

if [ $FALLING_NODE = $OLDPRIMARY_NODE ]; then
    if [ $UID -eq 0 ]
    then
        su postgres -c "ssh -T enterprisedb@$NEW_PRIMARY touch $PGDATA/trigger"
    else
        ssh -T enterprisedb@$NEW_PRIMARY touch $PGDATA/trigger
    fi
    exit 0;
fi;
exit 0;


To check the  failover scenario i have stopped the master database
server.According to the script the present salve will take over the
role of master. But the same was not happening in my case.
