This section contains information about replicating the MySQL protection group.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the following conditions are met:
The protection group is defined on the remote cluster, not on the local cluster.
The MySQL database resources in the protection group on the remote cluster exist on the local cluster.
The application resource groups in the protection group on the remote cluster exist on the local cluster.
Application resource groups are online only on the primary cluster when the protection group is activated.
The Auto_start_on_new_cluster property of the resource groups is set to false.
To view the Auto_start_on_new_cluster property, use following command:
# clresourcegroup show -p auto_start_on_new_cluster apprg1
If you need to set the Auto_start_on_new_cluster property to false, use the following command:
# clresourcegroup set -p Auto_start_on_new_cluster=false apprg1
Setting this property to false prevents the Oracle Solaris Cluster Resource Group Manager from automatically starting the resource groups in the protection group. Once the disaster recovery framework restarts and communicates with the remote cluster to ensure that the remote cluster is running and that the remote cluster is the secondary cluster for the resource group, the framework does not automatically start the resource group on the primary cluster.
# geopg get -s partnership-name mysql-pg
The command retrieves the configuration information of the protection group from the remote cluster and creates the protection group on the local cluster.
In this syntax, the -s partnership-name option specifies the name of the partnership from which the protection group configuration information is retrieved. In addition, mysql-pg specifies the name of the protection group.
For more information, see How to Configure Oracle Solaris Cluster Software on All Nodes (XML) in Installing and Configuring an Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.4 Environment and the cluster(8CL)and clresource(8CL) man pages.
In the following example, paris-newyork-ps is a partnership between the cluster-parisand cluster-newyork clusters. The mysql-pg protection group is replicated to the cluster-newyork cluster. The configuration of the protection group is retrieved from the remote cluster cluster-paris and then validated by the data replication subsystem on the local cluster cluster-newyork.
#phys-newyork-1# geopg get -s paris-newyork-ps mysql-pg
If the validation is successful, the configuration status is set to OK, and the protection group is created on the local cluster. This protection group contains a replicated component and an application group that are configured almost identically to the replicated component and application group on the remote cluster. If the validation fails, the protection group is not created on the local cluster. Fix the cause of the error, and replicate it again.
