Hi Yoshiharu, Takatoshi,
Spent another day, without success. :(
I started from scratch and synchronous replications works nicely when nodes are started outside pacemaker.
My PostgreSQL version is 9.1.1.
When I start from pacemaker, after a while it gets into the following state:
Online: [ psql1 psql2 ]
Master/Slave Set: msPostgresql [postgresql]
Slaves: [ psql1 psql2 ]
Clone Set: clnPingCheck [pingCheck]
Started: [ psql1 psql2 ]
Node Attributes:
* Node psql1:
+ default_ping_set : 100
+ master-postgresql:0 : -INFINITY
+ pgsql-status : HS:alone
+ pgsql-xlog-loc : 0000000019000000
* Node psql2:
+ default_ping_set : 100
+ master-postgresql:1 : -INFINITY
+ pgsql-status : HS:alone
+ pgsql-xlog-loc : 0000000019000000
The psql status queries return the following:
PSQL1
======
postgres at psql1:/root$ psql -c "select application_name,upper(state),upper(sync_state) from pg_stat_replication"
application_name | upper | upper
------------------+-------+-------
(0 rows)
postgres at psql1:/root$ psql -Atc "select pg_last_xlog_replay_location(),pg_last_xlog_receive_location()"
0/19000020|0/19000000
PSQL2
======
postgres at psql2:~$ psql -c "select application_name,upper(state),upper(sync_state) from pg_stat_replication"
application_name | upper | upper
------------------+-------+-------
(0 rows)
postgres at psql2:~$ psql -Atc "select pg_last_xlog_replay_location(),pg_last_xlog_receive_location()"
0/19000000|0/19000000
Neither server can connect (obviously) to the master, as the vip_repl Is not brought up.
Could you help me understand WHAT is the action/state/event that sould promote one of the nodes? I see that pacemaker monitors the servers every X seconds, but nothing else happens.
In the log (limited to pgsql) the following sequence is repeated forewer
Nov 26 13:36:19 psql1 pgsql[19829]: INFO: Master is not exist.
Nov 26 13:36:19 psql1 pgsql[19829]: DEBUG: Checking right of master.

Any help is appreciated!

My log is same. but it works.
Nov 18 19:28:26 osspc24-1 pgsql[17350]: INFO: Master is not exist.
Nov 18 19:28:26 osspc24-1 pgsql[17350]: INFO: Checking right of master.
Nov 18 19:28:19 osspc24-1 pgsql[17138]: INFO: My data status=.

In my log, the following logs are outputted and started after checking xlog location(3 times).
Nov 18 19:29:39 osspc24-1 pgsql[18720]: INFO: I have a master right.
Please show us more corosync.log.
