Hi Adrian,
For your question, . Is the CS side purely for failover or does it
actually set up part of the replication for you? The answer is, the Cloud Stack
does only failover configuration and the actual replication process on the
mysql side has to be done by own.
For the second question, Can you easily enable an existing DB for HA or is this
best done before there’s any data? The answer is, we can setup replication even
with existing data and then start the management servers. The mysql
documentation contains the clear steps how to setup replication with existing
documentation. Probably that is the reason why we might not have included these
steps in the doc.
The configuraiton we need to do on each management server is as below.
You can follow the design doc steps if you think there is a minimal
documentation in the 4.3 doc. The design doc also contains the links to mysql
site for setting up the replication for fresh as well as existing setups.
From the cloud stack side it is purely failover and falling back between the
IPs configured for the master/salve databases.
Thanks & Regards
Damodar/

Subject: Examples of configuring DB HA?
Hi all,
Does anyone have any example configs or blog posts explaining the DB HA
features introduced in 4.3? Between the section in the design docs on the wiki
and the official docs, I’m a little confused as to how it’s supposed to be set
up – they appear to differ although there’s a lot more detail in the design
docs. Some of it is clearly MySQL stuff that’s outside of Cloudstack but some
of it is Cloudstack config as well. I’m just trying to get a feel for what is
the best way to use what’s made it into 4.3 final (if different to the design
docs). I’m not too strong on MySQL so I can’t easily work out what’s a
requirement, what’s just recommended (and
implications) and what the Cloudstack side actually does. Is the CS side purely
for failover or does it actually set up part of the replication for you? Can
you easily enable an existing DB for HA or is this best done before there’s any
data? Before you run cloudstack-setup-databases?
Shanker – I don’t suppose this subject could add to your already excellent blog
post collection?
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
