HA stuck in Syncing

Hi,

since the last server-crash (our utm is a virtual machine) we got this error messages in ha-log and the state is "Syncing" since three days

repctl[4062]: [e] db_connect(2058): error while connecting to database(DBI:Pg:dbname=repmgr;host=198.19.250.2): could not connect to server: Connection refused

repctl[4062]: [c] recover_master(2419): rsync failed on $VAR1 = {
repctl[4062]: [c] recover_master(2428): sync aborted
is there a way for me to fix it without reinstalling the firewall?
kind regards

  • You'll loose reporting data but:

    Step 1: login to master node, su to root
    Step 2: open a new ssh window, login to master again, su to root
    Step 3: on 2nd window, enter: ha_utils ssh
    Step 4: in the 2nd window, login to slave as loginuser, then su to root
    Step 5: on both ssh windows, enter: killall repctl
    Step 6: on both ssh windows, enter: /etc/init.d/postgresql92 rebuild
    Step 7: after database rebuilds, enter on both ssh windows: repctl

  • Hello,

    as a member of the sophos Support i have to address very important points about this "tutorial":

     

    1. Database rebuilds are only to be done by a certain support level and only by Sophos Support Members.

    2. Rebuilding a Database without support recommendation on your own, "voids" your support until you re-image

    the machine. 

    3. There are several unpredictable problems/errors that could occur after rebuilding a database the wrong way

    or making mistakes that we can't fix or rather wont fix as per point 2, as this is the central database for

    most UTM services!

    4. This is not the correct way to rebuild a database and many times not even necessary. For analysis if this is even needed,

    you can contact Support or your Partner / Distributor.
