Issue/Introduction

When user changes the TLS certificate of a PostgreSQL cluster, in rare occasions the cluster status remains InProgress and database service becomes inaccessible.

This state is permanent and remediation requires manual intervention.

Environment

DSM version 9.0.0.0 and below

Cause

When user changes the TLS certificate of PostgreSQL cluster, not all data pods receive the new one on time.

This causes communication failure between data pods and the monitor because of certificate mismatch.

 

Postgres service is then brought down for safety reasons.

Resolution

This has been addressed in DSM 9.0.0.0010
