Thank you to Tatsu Ishii. I was able to get my cluster recovery process to work. Still not 100% certain of the cause but believe it to be a mismatch of versions between the pgpool_recovery extension and pgpool. I started over with a 2 node cluster and kept the parameter changes to a minimum.
Once that was working, I added a 3rd node by using the pcp_recovery_node command.
Regards,
Todd Stein

Where did you run the \dx command? You need to run \dx on the PostgreSQL primary node (probably catvmdxcpg12b.ftc.hpeswlab.net?).

Where did you run the \dx command? You need to run \dx on the PostgreSQL primary node.
Also I suggest followings:
- Share pgpool.conf so that people (including me) confirm that your
configuration and attempts are correct.
- Disable watchdog for now. At this point there are too many
possibilities for the problem (exetnsion is not installed,
pgpool.conf is not correct and/or unknown problem with
watchdog). Once you confirm the system works, you can enable
watchdog and continue testing. Let's proceed step by step.

You can check the standby PostgreSQL log to see what's going on.
