11 MySQL Clustering

Installing MySQL Cluster 7.0 – OpenSolaris 2008.11

Objective

To install MySQL Cluster 7.0 in OpenSolaris 2008.11.

Pre-requisites

1. Download MySQL Cluster 7.0 from


http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/7.0.html
Assumptions

1. There isn’t any version of MySQL installed on the system.

Procedure

Installing MySQL Cluster 7.0 in OpenSolaris has a few common steps to installing MySQL
Community Server 5.1. Please refer the Preparation phase and the first four steps of the
Installation phase of “Installing MySQL Community Server 5.1 – OpenSolaris 2008.11” Guide.
The following procedure continues from there –

1. The package copies all the files successfully to the /opt/mysql/mysql-cluster directory but the
port-install script fails. This is because the script refers to the /opt/mysql/mysql but the installed
directory is /opt/mysql/mysql-cluster. Ignore this error and run the script manually (shown in
the configuration phase).

mysql directory using the following command –

mv mysql-cluster mysql

5. Navigate to the bin directory and start mysqld_safe with the following command –

./mysqld_safe --datadir=../data --user=mysql

6. This starts the MySQL server. If the above command gives any errors and terminates
unsuccessfully, delete the data directory and run step 5. Try the above command again and if
errors still persist, check opensolaris.err present in the data directory with a text editor and
proceed accordingly.
7. Finally start the MySQL client as the root using the following command in the bin directory –

./mysql –user=root
