There seems permission issue with efm.properties and efm.nodes files, these=
 files need to have access from enterprisedb user if using EDB Postgres.


Thanks and Regards,

Dear Experts,

I am unable to start EFM due to the below error.

edb-efm-4.9.service: Control process exited, code=3Dexited, status=3D1/FAIL=
URE
edb-efm-4.9.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Failed to start EnterpriseDB Failover Manager 4.9.

Below is the startup log.
Could not validate pg_wal directory:
sudo -u enterprisedb /usr/edb/efm-4.9/bin/efm_db_functions validatepgwaldir=
 /etc/edb/efm-4.9/efm.properties
id: 3
exit status: 1
output:

ties
error:
grep: /etc/edb/efm-4.9/efm.properties: Permission denied

It looks like much of the documentation for EFM errors are not available=C2=
