How to Add an HA for MySQL Resource in a Scalable or Multiple-Master Configuration

Before You Begin

Ensure that you installed the data service packages during your initial Oracle Solaris Cluster installation. If you did not install the HA for MySQL packages as part of your initial Oracle Solaris Cluster installation, go to Installing the HA for MySQL Package.


Note -  Perform the following steps, including stopping the MySQL server on every node or zone that hosts the MySQL server.
  1. (Optional) Log in to the target zone.
     # zlogin zone-name

    Note -  If you install MySQL in a zone cluster, you are in the target zone already.
  2. On the cluster node that hosts MySQL, become an administrator that provides solaris.cluster.admin RBAC authorization.
  3. Start the MySQL Server instance manually.
    # cd MySQL-Base-directory
    # ./bin/mysqld --defaults-file=MySQL-Database-directry/my.cnf \
    --basedir=MySQL-Base-directory \
    --datadir=MySQL-Database-directory --user=mysql \
    --pid-file=MySQL-Database-directory/mysqld.pid &
  4. Configure the administrator password for the administrative user.
    # MySQL-Database-directory/bin/mysqladmin \
    -S /tmp/Logicalhost.sock password 'admin-password'
  5. Add the administrative user for locally accessing a MySQL instance with a MySQL-logical-host-ip-name.

    Note -  If you want to access the MySQL instance only through the socket (localhost), omit this step. When bootstrapping MySQL, the command mysql_install_db creates two administrative users, one belonging to localhost and one belonging to the node on which mysql_install_db was executed.

    Add an administrative user for every global-cluster node that runs this MySQL instance.


    Note -  If the node name and the hostname for the physical interface are different, use the hostname for the physical interface.

    The following is an example for a MySQL instance.

    # mysql -S /tmp/clusterix2.sock -uroot -padmin-password
    mysql> use mysql;
    mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'clusterix2' IDENTIFIED BY 'rootpasswd';
    mysql> UPDATE user SET Grant_priv='Y' WHERE User='root' AND Host='clusterix2';
    mysql> exit;

    Note -  If you experience any problems here, refer to the MySQL administration documentation.
  6. Copy the MySQL configuration files to your home directory.
    # cp /opt/SUNWscmys/util/ha_mysql_config /home-dir
    # cp /opt/SUNWscmys/util/mysql_config /home-dir
  7. Create a fault-monitor user and a test database for the MySQL instance.
    # cd home-dir
  8. Edit the mysql_config file and follow the comments within that file.

    # This file will be sourced in by mysql_register and the parameters
    # listed below will be used.
    #
    # Where is MySQL installed (BASEDIR)
    MYSQL_BASE=
    # MySQL admin-user for localhost (Default is root)
    MYSQL_USER=
    # Password for MySQL admin user
    MYSQL_PASSWD=
    # Configured logicalhost. For scalable or multiple-master resources leave it empty.
    MYSQL_HOST=
    # Specify a username for a faultmonitor user
    FMUSER=
    # Pick a password for that faultmonitor user
    FMPASS=
    # Socket name for mysqld ( Should be /tmp/logical-host.sock )
    MYSQL_SOCK=
    # Specify the physical hostname for the physical NIC that this logicalhostname
    # belongs to for every node in the cluster this resource group can be located on.
    # If you use the mysql_geocontrol features to implement the MySQL replication as
    # the replication protocol in Oracle Solaris Cluster geographic edition, specify all
    # physical nodes of all clusters. Specify at least all the nodes on both sites
    # where the MySQL databases can be hosted.
    # IE: The logicalhost lh1 belongs to hme1 for physical-node phys-1 and
    # hme3 for physical-node phys-2. The hostname for hme1 is phys-1-hme0 and
    # for hme3 on phys-2 it is phys-2-hme3.
    # IE: MYSQL_NIC_HOSTNAME="phys-1-hme0 phys-2-hme3"
    # IE: If two clusters are tied together by the mysql_geocontrol features, assuming the
    # MySQL database on cluster one belongs to cl1-phys1-hme0 and cl1-phys2-hme3, the
    # MySQL database on cluster two belongs to cl2-phys1-hme2 and cl2-phys2-hme4. Then the
    # MYSQL_NIC_HOSTNAME variable needs to be set to:
    # MYSQL_NIC_HOSTNAME="cl1-phys1-hme0 cl1-phys2-hme3 cl2-phys1-hme2 cl2-phys2-
    #hme4"
    MYSQL_NIC_HOSTNAME=
    # Where are your databases installed, (location of my.cnf)
    MYSQL_DATADIR=
    # Is MySQL Cluster installed?
    # Any entry here triggers the ndb engine check preparation. If no MySQL cluster should be
    # checked, leave it empty.
    NDB_CHECK=

    The following is an example for a MySQL instance.

    MYSQL_BASE=/global/mysql
    MYSQL_USER=root MYSQL_PASSWD=root
    MYSQL_HOST=hahostix1
    FMUSER=fmuser
    FMPASS=
    MYSQL_SOCK=/tmp/hahostix1.sock
    MYSQL_NIC_HOSTNAME="clusterix1 clusterix2"
    MYSQL_DATADIR=/global/mysql-data
    NDB_CHECK=

    If you want to monitor the ndb tables of a MySQL cluster, set NDB_CHECK to yes.

    If you are about to prepare the database servers for a scalable or multiple-master configuration, set MYSQL_SOCK=hostname.sock.

  9. After editing mysql_config, run the mysql_register script.
    # /opt/SUNWscmys/util//mysql_register -f home-dir/mysql_config
  10. Stop the MySQL Server instance manually.
    # kill -TERM 'cat MySQL-Database-directory/mysqld.pid
  11. After finishing the previous steps on every node or zone in the cluster, continue in the global zone unless you configure the MySQL server resource in a zone cluster.
  12. Create and register MySQL as a scalable or multiple-master data service.
    1. Navigate to the home-dir directory.
      # cd home-dir
    2. Edit the ha_mysql_config file and follow the comments within that file.

      # ZONEBT - The resource name which controls the zone. 
      # Optional
      # PROJECT - A project in the zone that will be used for this service.
      # Specify it if you have an su - in the start stop or probe,
      # or to define the smf credentials. If the variable is not set,

      # HAS_RS - name of the MySQL HAStoragePlus SC resource
      # NDB_CHECK - Is MySQL Cluster installed?
      # Any entry here triggers the ndb engine check, if no MySQL cluster should be checked
      # leave it empty.

      The following is an example for a MySQL instance.


      Note -  If you want to register a multiple-master resource, do not set the variables SCALABLE and MYSQLHOST.
      SCALABLE= 
      MYSQLHOST=
      RS=mysql-res
      RG=mysql-rg
      BASEDIR=/global/mysql

      CHECK=YES
      NDB_CHECK=
      HAS_RS=
      ZONE=
      ZONE_BT=
      PROJECT=

      If you want to monitor the ndb tables of a MySQL cluster, set NDB_CHECK to yes.


    3. (Optional) If you did not specify the FMPASS variable, make the ha_mysql_config file available in one host or zone and call the following script in one host or zone that can host the MySQL database.
      # /opt/SUNWscmys/util/ha_mysql_register -f home-dir/ha_mysql_config -e
    4. Register the MySQL resource.
       # /opt/SUNWscmys/util/ha_mysql_register -f home-dir/ha_mysql_config
  13. Switch the resource group to a managed online state.
     # clresourcegroup online -M MySQL-Scalable-resource-group
