Re: Postgres with Sun Cluster HA/Solaris 10

Yes, it's a shared-disk failover solution as described in [1] and only
node will run the pg instance. We got it fixed by setting ping-interval
in resin from 60s to 0s. It's more like validate every connection before
giving to app to process.

Well we see this error on a stand-alone sol 10 box with no cluster. How
do I check if it's setup to use IPv6 or not.

Thanks,

I'm not quite sure, how sun cluster is working, but to me it sounds like
a shared-disk failover solution (see [1] for more details).

As such, only one node should run a postgres instance at any time. Does
sun cluster take care of that?

That's talking about IPv6. Are you using IPv6? Is sun cluster doing
something magic WRT your network?

(BTW, please don't cross post (removed -performance). And don't reply to
emails when you intend to start a new thread, thanks.)
