Re: Postgres-R

Unfortunately, I'am getting the error as below when I start the gossip. I had followed the same steps as you mentioned.

REFLECT:I'm not in the list of gossip hosts, exiting
(the hosts are [cluster_1|cluster_2])

cluster_1 & cluster_2 are node names & are the in /etc/hosts.

Did you face this?

regards,
Niranjan

hi,
Assume that we have two node
node 0 , 192.168.0.2
node 1 , 192.168.0.3
1. add a host entry in /etc/hosts for hostname resolving.
2. add the host list in configuration 'ensemble.conf' for gossip service:
ENS_GOSSIP_HOSTS=node0:node1
3. set the envrionment variable ENS_CONFIG_FILE export ENS_CONFIG_FILE=/xxx/xxx/ensemble.conf
4. start ensemble & gossip
5. try 'c_mtalk' and happy.

this is a simplest case for me, hehe!

But the count of members ('nmembers') show as 1. This is the output of the client program 'c_mtalk'. Seeing this, I'am assuming that the applications are not merged.
