Well, since working with outdated clusters and upgrade paths that quickly become obsolete, as in my last post, Migrating/importing NDB to Cluster Manager w/ version upgrade. , I wanted to share that we can also use Cluster Manager, mcm, to upgrade NDB Cluster from 7.3 directly to 7.5. So we can start using the mcm new features like autotune that help guide us towards some Cluster tuning, or 7.5 new features like READ_BACKUP or FULLY_REPLICATED tables. …

I’ve had some questions from people using MySQL Cluster GPL and wanting to move to using MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition, i.e., they want to use MySQL Cluster Manager, MCM, to make their lives much easier, in particular, upgrading (as well as config change ease and backup history).

All I want to do here is to share with you my personal experience on migrating what’s considered a ‘wild’ NDB Cluster to a MCM managed cluster. It’s just as simple to follow the manual chapter Importing a Cluster into MySQL Cluster Manager so at least you can see how I did it, and it might help someone.

[ If you’re not migrating but just looking for further information on NDB Cluster, and came across this post, please please PLEASE look at the …

Here’s a way to detect the sql query causing a lock or a session to fail, and also to identify the o.s.pid if need be (btw, no rocket science). “a” way.. I’m sure there are many others, so feel free to suggest, please.

So, we’re using MCM, and have created a MySQL Cluster like mentioned in the cluster intro session (in Spanish I’m afraid), using 7.4.6, which comes with 5.6.24.

With the env up and running, set up a schema, some data and run a few queries:

mysql> create database world;
mysql> use world;
Database changed
mysql> source world_ndb.sql

(world_ndb.sql, as you might guess, is the world_innodb tables script, with a little adjustment as to which storage engine to be used.)

Once created, let’s lock things up in Cluster:

mysql -uroot -h127.0.0.1 -P3306
mysql> use test; …

By their very nature, clustered environments involve more efforts and resources to administer than standalone systems and this holds true for MySQL Cluster, the database designed for web-scale throughput with carrier-grade availability.

The MySQL Cluster Auto-Installer guides you through defining and running a well configured MySQL Cluster database – …

MySQL Cluster Manager 1.3.0 is now Generally Available and can be downloaded from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. The release contains a number of enhancements including performance improvements, handling larger clusters and of course bug fixes. The other big feature is that you can now import an existing, running MySQL Cluster instance into MCM without having to stop it first – this is the topic for this post.

In the past, we had a nice browser-based tool (the MySQL Clster Auto-Installer) to get a well configured cluster up and running (tuned to your environment) and we also had MySQL Cluster …

So what’s new in this version

If you’ve looked at MCM in the past then the first thing that you’ll notice is that it’s now much simpler to get it up and running – in particular the configuration and running of the agent has now been reduced to just running a single executable (called "mcmd").

The second change is that you can now stop the MCM agents from within the MCM CLI – for example "stop agents mysite" will safely stop all of the agents running on the …
