[Postgres-xc-developers] Installation Guide

[West, W. <ww...@uc...>]

Hi all,

I have been trying for the last week to install postgresql-xc on 2 VMs I have. Based on what I have read, I am setting a a GTM, coordinator and datanode on one VM and a coordinator and datanode on the other VM. The instructions are pretty straight forward for a single node and I was successful at getting it up an running. Now with services running on both nodes I am receiving this error on each node:

psql: FATAL:  Coordinator cannot identify itself

So, two questions. 1. Does anyone know what is causing the error? 2. I am guessing that in the many conf files that need to be configured, I have missed something. My reading of the documentation suggest that changes to the postgres.conf and pg_hba.conf should be enough to do the trick but I suspect this is wrong for more complicated layouts (clusters with 1+n nodes). Is there any more comprehensive documentation for all the required setting in the various conf files/directories for larger scale deployments?

Thanks,

Bill West
