MySQL Database Cluster

Make sure you have MySQL Repository Added:

https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.26-1_all.deb (mysql 8.0.34)

Step 1:

Install mysql-server:

apt install mysql-server

Step 2:

Install mysql-shell:

apt install mysql-shell

Step 3:

Create MySQL User:

mysql -uroot -e "CREATE USER 'clusteradmin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password123';"

Step 4:

Grant Permissions to the MySQL User:

mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'clusteradmin'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;"

mysql -u root -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

mysql -u root -e "reset master;"

Step 5:

Verify the hostname and user that we created:

mysql -u root -e "SELECT @@HOSTNAME";

mysql -u root -e "SELECT user FROM mysql.user WHERE user='clusteradmin';"

 Step 6:

Make sure MySQL is listening on required interfaces:

nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

[mysqld]
user = mysql
bind-address = 0.0.0.0
mysqlx-bind-address = 0.0.0.0
key_buffer_size = 16M
max_allowed_packet = 64M
thread_stack = 256K

Step 7:

Connect to mysql shell:

mysqlsh

Step 7:

Check Instance Configuration of all servers:

dba.check_instance_configuration("clusteradmin@dbserver1:3306")

Step 8:

Configure all instances:

dba.configure_instance("clusteradmin@dbserver1:3306")

Step 9:

Connect to any MySQL Server:

\connect clusteradmin@dbserver1:3306

Step 10:
 Create a Database Cluster:

var myCluster = dba.createCluster("dbcluster")

Step 11:

Now add the other instances:

myCluster.addInstance('clusteradmin@dbserver2:3306')

myCluster.addInstance('clusteradmin@dbserver3:3306')

Step 12:

Now check the status of the Cluster:

myCluster.status()

Step 13:

Create a Router:

1: First Add mySQL Repo:

2: Install mysql-router: apt install mysql-router

3: Connect to any mysql cluster node

4: Create 2 Router Accounts from mysqlsh:

dba.getCluster("lmc_dbcluster").setupRouterAccount("router-1")

5: Create 2 Router Accounts from mysqlsh:

dba.getCluster("lmc_dbcluster").setupRouterAccount("router-2")

mysqlrouter --bootstrap clusteradmin@dbserver1 --user=root -d myrouter_idc --

account=router_1

Second Router Instance: mysqlrouter --bootstrap clusteradmin@dbserver2 --user=root

Third Router Instance: mysqlrouter --bootstrap clusteradmin@dbserver3 --user=root

 Step 14:

Add this configuration in: /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf

#For Main Node

vrrp_instance VI_1 {
state MASTER
interface bond0.2
virtual_router_id 50
priority 102
advert_int 1
virtual_ipaddress {
10.0.0.50
}
}

#For Other Nodes

vrrp_instance VI_2 {
state BACKUP
interface enp1s0
virtual_router_id 51
priority 103
advert_int 1
virtual_ipaddress {
10.0.0.50
}
}

MySQL Cluster Recovery

1: Connect to any node that is active using mysqlsh

2: dba.getCluster().status()

3: dba.getCluster().forceQuorumUsingPartitionOf("clusteradmin@127.0.0.1:3306")
4: cluster.removeInstance("clusteradmin@dbserver2:3306", {force: true})

5: dba.getCluster().rescan()

6: dba.getCluster().status()

7: dba.getCluster().addInstance("clusteradmin@dbserver2:3306")

To Re-add an Instance
1: Connect using mysqlsh

2: dba.getCluster().rejoinInstance(“clusteradmin@dbserver2:3306”)
