Description Prosenjit Biswas 2008-07-23 04:43:12 UTC

reflects different values at /etc/cluster/cluster.conf and the service doesn't
start at all. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rgmanager-2.0.38-2.el5_2.1

How reproducible:
Configure the postgreSQL server 8 resource and check cluster.conf file.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Cluster packages. 
2. Configure postgreSQL Server 8 Resource type for the postgresql service via
system-config-cluster
3. Start the service and it will fail. Check Cluster.conf for umached values.
  
Actual results:

Done - ready for commit.

Comment 6 Brian Brock 2008-12-16 23:53:03 UTC
I'm getting an improperly written cluster.conf.  Here's the line:

<postgres-8 config_file="" name="90" postmaster_options="foobar.conf" postmaster_user="postmaster" shutdown_wait="foobarname"/>

in system-config-cluster I set

config_file == foobar.conf
postmaster options == <empty>
shutdown_wait == 90

Comment 8 Jim Parsons 2008-12-17 16:46:06 UTC
This will need to be moved out. A release note would be a good interim strategy.
