MySql NDB Clustering

Introduction
Clustering will add high availability to our database by distributing changes to different servers.
In the event that one of the instances fails, others are quickly available to continue serving.
Clusters come in two general configurations, active-passive and active-active. In active-passive

clusters, all writes are done on a single active server and then copied to one or more passive
servers that are poised to take over only in the event of an active server failure. Some
active-passive clusters also allow SELECT operations on passive nodes. In an active-active
cluster, every node is read-write and a change made to one is replicated to all.
A MySQL Cluster consists of one or more management nodes (ndb_mgmd) that store the
cluster’s configuration and control the data nodes (ndbd), where cluster data is stored. After
communicating with the management node, clients (MySQL clients, servers, or native APIs)
connect directly to these data nodes.
We need 3 types of nodes to set up the complete cluster. They are management node, data
nodes & SQL node.
* Management node/server is used to manage other servers/nodes in the cluster, to add new
nodes in the cluster, start/restart/delete nodes in the cluster.
* Data node/server is the main storage server of the database files, it replicates databases with
other data nodes. This is the database cluster. High memory and storage should be avail on
data node servers.
* SQL node/server is the MySQL server/client which is used by application/php to connect to the
database cluster, working as an API. Actually, SQL node is the gateway engine between
application/php and database file.

We are going to use five different server:
1. 192.168.7.130 - db node
2. 192.168.7.132 - sql node
3. 192.168.7.133 - management node
4. 192.168.7.134 - sql node
5. 192.168.7.135 - db node
System config:
We are using all cenOs 7 servers.
Start config:
We have to download the cluster bundle package in root directory. We can use wget to
download this rpm bundle on all these servers.
Link:
https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-Cluster-8.0/mysql-cluster-community-8.0.
21-1.el7.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar
tar -xvzf
This command will extract all tar files from this downloaded bundle.
This package need to install and remove from all these server:
yum -y install perl-Data-Dumper
yum -y remove mariadb-libs
Management server config:

This package needs to be installed and remove first.
rpm -Uvh mysql-cluster-community-common-8.0.21-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh mysql-cluster-community-libs-8.0.21-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall
mysql-cluster-community-client-8.0.21-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh mysql-cluster-community-server-8.0.21-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh
mysql-cluster-community-management-server-8.0.21-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
Now we need to configure the MySQL cluster. Create a new directory where we want to setup
the cluster configureation.
mkdir -p /var/lib/mysql-cluster
cd /var/lib/mysql-cluster
nano -w config.ini
Write the configuration in config file.

[ndb_mgmd default]
# Directory for MGM node log files
DataDir=/var/lib/mysql-cluster
[ndb_mgmd]
NodeId=1
HostName=192.168.7.133
[ndbd default]
NoOfReplicas=2
DataMemory=256M
IndexMemory=128M
DataDir=/var/lib/mysql-cluster
[ndbd]
NodeId=2
HostName=192.168.7.130
[ndbd]
NodeId=3
HostName=192.168.7.135
[mysqld]
NodeId =5
HostName=192.168.7.132
[mysqld]
NodeId=6
HostName=192.168.7.134
We can skip to mention nodeId, it will select the default nodeId then.
Save the file.
Then start the management node.
ndb_mgmd --config-file=/var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini
Check the cluster status.

ndb_mgm -e show
Setup all data node now.

yum -y install yum-protectbase
yum -y install epel-release
yum localinstall
rpm -Uvh mysql-cluster-community-data-node-8.0.21-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
Update the my.cnf file to configure all node.

[mysqld]
ndbcluster
ndb-connectstring=192.168.7.133
[mysql_cluster]
Then create the database cluster data folder.

mkdir -p /var/lib/mysql-cluster
Make sure the firewall port is open for 1186 and SELinux is disable for all nodes.
Try run the command ‘ndbd’ for both node
ndbd
Finally setup the sql node/API

yum install yum-protectbase
yum install epel-release
yum localinstall
Edit my.cnf file for the MySQL node.

[mysqld]
ndbcluster
default_storage_engine=ndbcluster
[mysql_cluster]
Restart all mysql services:
service mysqld restart
Before start mysqld without security add this under [mysqld]

skip-grant-tables
Complete this:
mysql_secure_installation
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'root'@'%';

ALTER USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY
'your_password';

Introduction

Fig: ndbd cluster configuration

Management server config:

Write the configuration in config file.

Then start the management node.

Check the cluster status.

Setup all data node now.

Update the my.cnf file to configure all node.

Then create the database cluster data folder.

Finally setup the sql node/API

Edit my.cnf file for the MySQL node.

Before start mysqld without security add this under [mysqld]

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'root'@'%';
