Hi Steve,
i think, you have misunderstood how ip addresses are used with this setup, PGVIP should start after promotion.
Take a look at Takatoshi´s Wiki.
https://github.com/t-matsuo/resource-agents/wiki/Resource-Agent-for-PostgreSQL-9.1-streaming-replication

I see that he has the master/replication VIPs with a resource order to force promotion before moving the VIPs to the new master.

  I don't get how the postgres service is going to listen on those interfaces if they have not already migrated to the new master.  Even with setting the listen_addresses = "*"


The promotion sequency is very simple.
When no master is existing, all slaves write their current replay xlog into the node attribute PGSQL-xlog-loc during monitor call.
Does this also hold true if a Master fails?

>From the looks of it, if there was a Master before the failure that the master score is set from the function that grabs the data_status from the master (STREAMING|SYNC, STREAMING|ASYNC, STREAMING|POTENTIAL, etc ).

The reason I ask is if the master fails and the slaves don't then compare their xlog location, there is a potential for data loss if the incorrect slave is promoted.


You can see all them with crm_mon -A1f.
Each slave gets these attributes from all node configured in parameter node_list (hopefully your node names in Pacemaker are the same as in node_list) and compares them to get the highest.
If the highest is this list is the own one, it sets the master-score to 1000, on other nodes to 100.
Pacemaker then selects the node with the highest master score and promote this.

Betreff: Re: [Pacemaker] PGSQL resource promotion issue
In talking with andreask from IRC, I  miss understood the need to include the op monitor.  I figured it was pulled from the resource script by default.

I used pcs to add the new attributes and one was then promoted to master

pcs resource add_operation PGSQL monitor interval=5s role=Master
pcs resource add_operation PGSQL monitor interval=7s

I've built and installed the lastest resource-agents from github on Centos 6 and configured two resources

1 primitive PGVIP:
pcs resource create PGVIP ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 ip=10.1.22.48 cidr_netmask=25 op monitor interval=1

Before setting up the PGSQL resource I manually configured sync/streaming replication on the three nodes with p1.example.com<http://p1.example.com/> as the master and verified that replication was working.  I think removed the synchronous_standby_name from my postgresql.conf and stop all postgres services on all nodes

1 master/slave PGSQL: -- I've the resource to use sync replication.  Also I am using PGSQL 9.2.3

pcs resource create PGSQL ocf:heartbeat:pgsql params pgctl="/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/pg_ctl" pgdata="/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data" config="/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/postgresql.conf" stop_escalate="5" rep_mode="sync" node_list="p1.example.com<http://p1.example.com/> p2.example.com<http://example.com/> p3.example.com<http://example.com/>" restore_command='cp /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/archive/%f "%p"' master_ip="10.1.22.48" repuser="postgres" restart_on_promote="true" tmpdir="/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/tmpdir" xlog_check_count="3" crm_attr_timeout="5" check_wal_receiver="true" --master

I'm able to successfully get all the nodes in the cluster started and the PGVIP resource starts on the 1st node and the PGSQL:[012] resource start on each node in the cluster.  The one thing I don't understand is why none of the slaves is taking over the master role.

Also how would I go about force promoting one of the slaves into the master role via the PCS command line utility.
