Galera

Galera Cluster for MySQL is a true Multimaster Cluster based on synchronous replication. Galera Cluster is an easy-to-use, high-availability solution, which provides high system uptime, no data loss and scalability for future growth.

Sample pillars

Galera cluster master node

galera:
  master:
    enabled: true
    name: openstack
    bind:
      address: 192.168.0.1
      port: 3306
    members:
    - host: 192.168.0.1
      port: 4567
    - host: 192.168.0.2
      port: 4567
    admin:
      user: root
      password: pass
    database:
      name:
        encoding: 'utf8'
        users:
        - name: 'username'
          password: 'password'
          host: 'localhost'
          rights: 'all privileges'

Galera cluster slave node

galera:
  slave:
    enabled: true
    name: openstack
    bind:
      address: 192.168.0.2
      port: 3306
    members:
    - host: 192.168.0.1
      port: 4567
    - host: 192.168.0.2
      port: 4567
    admin:
      user: root
      password: pass

Usage

MySQL Galera check sripts

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'wsrep%';

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'wsrep_cluster_size' ;"

Galera monitoring command, performed from extra server

garbd -a gcomm://ipaddrofone:4567 -g my_wsrep_cluster -l /tmp/1.out -d

1. salt-call state.sls mysql
2. Comment everything starting wsrep* (wsrep_provider, wsrep_cluster, wsrep_sst)
3. service mysql start
4. run on each node mysql_secure_install and filling root password.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL
root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] n
 ... skipping.

By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

5. service mysql stop
6. uncomment all wsrep* lines except first server, where leave only in my.cnf wsrep_cluster_address='gcomm://';
7. start first node
8. Start third node which is connected to first one
9. Start second node which is connected to third one
10. After starting cluster, it must be change cluster address at first starting node without restart database and change config my.cnf.

mysql> SET GLOBAL wsrep_cluster_address='gcomm://10.0.0.2';
