Hi All,

yestarday one of the db boxes we in our cluster died. It took the db
with it. After a fresh install I added it to the cluster (basically -
drop node 3, store node 3). And then when I tried to start slony I
got:

2007-11-28 12:55:43 NZDT ERROR  cannot get sl_local_node_id - ERROR:
schema "_radiuscluster" does not exist
2007-11-28 12:55:43 NZDT FATAL  main: Node is not initialized properly


However if I try to connect to the db with the same privileges slony
uses (postgres admin user) I can see the tables:

postgres at raddb3:~$ psql -H akl-grafton-raddb3.ihug.net -U postgres radbackend
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "radbackend" ignored
psql: FATAL:  database "akl-grafton-raddb3.ihug.net" does not exist
postgres at raddb3:~$ psql -h akl-grafton-raddb3.ihug.net -U postgres radbackend

     4 | t         | Node 4 - radbackend at akl-grafton-raddb4 | f
(4 rows)

A few days ago I re-provisioned node 4 exactly the same way and
everything seems to be fine. What might be the problem? Configuration
files (slony1.conf is set to all defaults), or something in the
database?

I use slony 1.2.1.

kind regards
