Hello,

We have setup active-passive cluster using streaming replication on Rhe
7.5. We are testing pacemaker for automated failover.
We are seeing below issues with the setup :

1. When a failoveris triggered when data is being added to the primary by
killing primary (killall -9 postgres), the standby doesnt come up in sync.
On pacemaker, the crm_mon -Afr shows standby in disconnected and HS:alone
state.

On postgres, we see below error:

When we try to restart postgres on the standby, using pg_ctl restart, the
standby start syncing.

2. After standby syncs using pg_ctl restart as mentioned above, we found
out that 1-2 records are missing on the standby.

Need help to check:
1. why the standby fails to start in the first place and complains about
missing logs?
2. can record mismatch be a problem related to failover not successful?

If you have faced this issue/have knowledge, please let us know.

replication is async.
recovery.conf file has restore_command that uses cp

Thanks.

Hello Team,

Any ideas?

Thanks..
