Installing Galera Cluster 4 with MySQL on Ubuntu 22.04

We have in the past covered Installing Galera Cluster 4 with MySQL 8 on Ubuntu 18.04 and also Installing Galera 4 with MySQL 8 on Ubuntu 20.04, and it would seem appropriate to also cover Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish). We do have excellent documentation and we also have the ability for you to automate all of this via the GUI tool, Galera Manager.

Prerequisites

  • All 3 nodes have to have Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed. The current version at the time of this writing is Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.
  • Firewall (if setup) needs to …

Node has dropped from cluster error in Galera Cluster

Recently I noted a strange MySQL replication error in a Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) node replicating from a standard MySQL instance. “Node has dropped from cluster”. This is a quick blog…

Webinar recording available: Galera Manager is now GA with ability to launch clusters on premise and in the AWS cloud

This is a new era in deploying, managing and monitoring your Galera Cluster for MySQL, with the recently released Galera Manager, now Generally Available (GA). Galera Manager is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) tool that allows you to fully manage clusters in Amazon Web Services, you can also deploy clusters on user provided hosts (on premise or in the cloud) and you can also fully monitor your existing clusters.

In this Webinar, we will cover:

  • Deploying a fully managed cluster in AWS
  • Deploying a cluster on user-provided hosts
  • Monitoring an existing cluster
  • How we have chosen to use CLONE SST for MySQL 8 deployments
  • How you can successfully deploy all the various servers that we support
  • Utilising the over 600 monitoring metrics to effectively manage your Galera Cluster

Disaster Recovery with Galera Cluster 2021 Edition webinar wrap-up

We might have had one of our largest, most well attended webinars in recent times, for both EMEA and North American timezones, and we thank you for attending. We had many good questions, and we realise that this is a popular topic, so expect to get more blog posts around this. It also helps us drive the development of Galera Manager further, to know what you want (a new release, is just around the corner).

The video recording  of the webinar is available and we encourage you to take a gander.

We did demo a 9-node Galera Cluster running across San Francisco, London and Singapore, and also discussed latency for local nodes, a local Galera Cluster, as well as what penalty you …

Using the audit log plugin within your Galera Cluster

Codership first released a version of MySQL 5.7 with the audit log plugin back when Galera Cluster for MySQL 5.7.30 was released back in June 2020. More recently, we also added the audit log plugin to Galera Cluster for MySQL 5.6.51 in April 2021, but I guess the most important was that we also started including it in Galera Cluster for MySQL 8.0.21 too. We also started supporting it across various distributions, including Debian. For today’s exercise, we will use Galera Cluster for MySQL 8.0.23 on CentOS 7 (compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7). …

Yearly Reminder: DDLs That Fail to Propagate May Cause Percona XtraDB Cluster Inconsistencies

Apologies for the silly title, but the issue is a real one, even though it is not a new thing. Schema upgrades are not an ordinary operation in Galera. For the subject at hand, the bottom line is: under the default Total Order Isolation (TOI) method, “the cluster replicates the schema change query as a statement before its execution.” What this means in practice is that a DDL issued in one node is replicated to other nodes in the cluster before it is even executed in the source node, let alone completed successfully.

As a result of this, it may fail in one node and be successful in another, and this without raising loud alerts or stopping nodes to protect against data inconsistency. This is not a bug in itself but rather a compromise of design. With new changes in MySQL and the …

Effective Monitoring of your Galera Cluster for MySQL with Galera Manager

While we have documented how you might consider Monitoring a Cluster with Galera Manager, we’d also like to take you through a bit more of what is available, before our webinar this week. Please signup for a live demo from install to deployment and management.

You might be used to SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'wsrep_%'; from the command line, but why not take a look at all of this on a graph, over time, within the GUI of the Galera Manager? What happens when you feel a node is getting overwhelmed? You tend to check wsrep_flow_control_paused, which returns the percentage of time the node was paused because of Flow Control (normally you do this after a FLUSH STATUS however now you …
