Example: Installing the MySQL Software on Local Storage

These steps illustrate how to install the MySQL software in the default directory /usr/local/mysql. If only one node is mentioned, it needs to be the node where your resource group is online.

Note - This procedure assumes that you inherited the /usr directory, so you cannot write to /usr/local in the zones. If you linked /usr/local to a local directory, start at Step 4.

Add the mysql user.

phys-schost-1# groupadd -g 1000 mysql
phys-schost-1# useradd -g 1000 -d /global/mnt3/mysql -m -s /bin/ksh mysql
phys-schost-2# groupadd -g 1000 mysql
phys-schost-2# useradd -g 1000 -d /global/mnt3/mysql -m -s /bin/ksh mysql

Install the MySQL binaries on both nodes.

phys-schost-1# cd /usr/local
phys-schost-1# tar xvf mysql-max-5.0.22-solaris10-architcture_64.tar.gz
phys-schost-1# ln -s mysql-max-5.0.22-solaris10-architcture_64 mysql

Change the ownership of the MySQL binaries on both nodes.
```
phys-schost-1# chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql
```

Log in to the zone.

phys-schost-1# zlogin clu1
phys-schost-2# zlogin clu1

Add the mysql group and user.

zone-1# groupadd -g 1000 mysql
zone-1# groupadd -g 1000 mysql
zone-2# useradd -g 1000 -d /global/mnt3/mysql -m -s /bin/ksh mysql
zone-2# useradd -g 1000 -d /global/mnt3/mysql -m -s /bin/ksh mysql

Leave the zone.
