Hello,
I am having an issue setting up two vault servers (with postgres backends) in high availability mode. I am able to start the server and run the operator init command on both of them.
I have set up my vault config file pretty much exactly the same as the config files outlined in the tutorial found here: https://learn.hashicorp.com/vault/day-one/ops-vault-ha-consul#step-4-configure-the-vault-servers
of course just switching out the consul backend for a postgres one.
The issue seems to be that the two servers are not able to find each other and are created with their own individual cluster ids. After that happens I just push forward for the sake of following the demo (and my own lack of knowledge about the expected outcome) and when I get to the part where you unseal the second server using the first server’s unseal tokens, I get an invalid token error.
Any insight about how configuring a vault server cluster with postgres backends differs from that of the consul backend in the demo would be appreciated. I also have updated my /etc/hosts file so that the two instances I am testing clustering with can resolve each other too. The security groups are also blown wide open, seeing as this is a testing env, so any and all traffic should be allowed through.
