[pgpool-general: 3721] Questions about watchdog

[Wes Mitchell]

Hi,

I am trying to configure pgpool-II for HA using watchdog.
I am running into the following issue: if I specify the delegate_IP parameter on both pgpool hosts, then whichever one is brought up second fails:

2015-05-18 16:11:44: pid 26948: LOCATION:  wd_ping.c:309
2015-05-18 16:11:44: pid 26948: FATAL:  failed to initialize watchdog, delegate_IP "10.61.156.162" already exists

And all processes then terminate.

Please help me understand the proper configuration. I am setting
delegate_IP = ’10.61.156.162’

I see that the interface is brought up and bound to that IP on the first instance, using ifconfig:
eth0:0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:29:39:17:DF
          inet addr:10.61.156.162  Bcast:10.61.156.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Is there some setting to tell pgpool process that it is master or standby? How do I set delegate_IP so that failover will bring up the IP on the promoted machine?

If you could also reply directly, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
//w
