If you provide the log I requested, I can examine what's
wrong.

> 1) I need the PostgreSQL log while you are getting:
>>> Ran this command on the primary server: pcp_recovery_node -h
>>> 192.168.80.90 -p 9898 -U postgres -n 1 And received this error:
>>> ERROR:  recovery is checking if postmaster is started
>>> DETAIL:  postmaster on hostname:"ltpgsql12" database:"template1"
>>> user:"postgres" failed to start in 90 second

>I looked on the standby server node I'm trying to recover, with the "top" command and it says CPU usage is around 35% for the pg_basebackup command.  It's been almost 5 hours like this.  Does anyone know how long it takes?  I heard that the standby recovery takes a long time, but does it really take this long?  I have around 15 databases that totals about 300-500 MB of data that Pgpool2 is supposedly trying to recover right now.
