5. MySQL Available HA Solutions
• MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade
• MySQLCluster enables users to meet the database challenges of next generation web, cloud, and
communications services with uncompromising scalability, uptime and agility
• Expensive solution
• Minimal downtime
• MySQL Fabric
• MySQL Fabric is an extensible framework for managing farms of MySQL Servers.Two primary
features have been implemented - HighAvailability (HA) and scaling out using data sharding.These
features can be used in isolation or in combination
• MySQL Replication
• MySQL Replication enables users to cost-effectively deliver application performance, scalability and
high availability. Many of the world's most trafficked web properties like eBay, Facebook, Tumblr,
Twitter andYouTube rely on MySQL Replication to serve hundreds of millions of users and handle
exponential growth
• Supported synchronous and asynchronous
• Available with Enterprise Edition

6. MySQL Replication
• MySQL’s built-in replication is the foundation for building large, high-
performance applications on top of MySQL, using the so-called “scale-
out” architecture
• The basic problem replication solves is keeping one server’s data
synchronized with another’s. Many replicas can connect to a single
master and stay in sync with it, and a replica can, in turn, act as a
master.You can arrange masters and replicas in many different ways
By JBH Syed | BSCS | MSDIEM | MCTS | MCITP | OCA | OCP | OCE | SCJP | ITILv3 | PRINCE2 | COBIT5F

7. Types of Replication
• MySQL supports two kinds of replication: statement-based replication and
row-based replication.
• Statement-based (or “logical”) replication has been available since MySQL 3.23.
• Row-based replication was added in MySQL 5.1.
• Both kinds work by recording changes in the master’s binary log and replaying
the log on the replica
By JBH Syed | BSCS | MSDIEM | MCTS | MCITP | OCA | OCP | OCE | SCJP | ITILv3 | PRINCE2 | COBIT5F

8. How Replication works
• How MySQL actually replicates data. At a high level, replication is a simple
three-part process:
• The master records changes to its data in its binary log. (These records are called
binary log events.)
• The replica copies the master’s binary log events to its relay log.
• The replica replays the events in the relay log, applying the changes to its own
data
By JBH Syed | BSCS | MSDIEM | MCTS | MCITP | OCA | OCP | OCE | SCJP | ITILv3 | PRINCE2 | COBIT5F

9. Replication Configuration
• Setting up replication is a fairly simple process in MySQL, but there are many
variations on the basic steps, depending on the scenario. The most basic scenario is a
freshly installed master and replica. At a high level, the process is as follows
• Set up replication accounts on each server.
• Configure the master and replica.
• Instruct the replica to connect to and replicate from the master

10. Replication Configuration
•Creating Replication Accounts.
• mysql> GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO
<user>@'192.168.0.%' IDENTIFIED BY ‘jbhsyed';
•Configuring the Master and Replica (Slave )
• Binary logs must have to enable
• Server Id must be assigned , master and other slaves have unique server id
By JBH Syed | BSCS | MSDIEM | MCTS | MCITP | OCA | OCP | OCE | SCJP | ITILv3 | PRINCE2 | COBIT5F

11. Replica ( Slave ) Configuration
• mysql> CHANGE MASTERTO MASTER_HOST=‘ServerM',
-> MASTER_USER=‘replicationuser',
-> MASTER_PASSWORD=‘jbhsyed',
-> MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000001',
-> MASTER_LOG_POS=0;
By JBH Syed | BSCS | MSDIEM | MCTS | MCITP | OCA | OCP | OCE | SCJP | ITILv3 | PRINCE2 | COBIT5F

12. Replica (Slave) –my.cnf
• Parameters
• Relay_log
• The relay log consists of the events read from the binary log of the master and written
by the slave I/O thread. Events in the relay log are executed on the slave as part of the
SQL thread.
• Log_slave_updates
• Normally, a slave does not log to its own binary log any updates that are received from a
master server.This option tells the slave to log the updates performed by its SQL thread
to its own binary log.
• Read_only
• Make the server read-only, so that it processes only retrievals and blocks updates
• Relay_log_purge
• Disable or enable automatic purging of relay logs as soon as they are no longer needed.
The default value is 1 (enabled).This is a global variable that can be changed dynamically
with SETGLOBAL relay_log_purge = N
• --Master-info-file
• The name to use for the file in which the slave records information about the master.
The default name ismaster.info in the data directory
• --Relay-log-info-file
• The name to use for the file in which the slave records information about the relay logs.
The default name isrelay-log.info in the data directory.

13. Benefits of Replication
• Data Distribution
• It is useful to maintaining a copy of data in geographically distant locations.
• Load Balancing
• Balance the load of your read queries with the help of Replicas.
• Backups
• Backup more than one locations
• High Availability and Failover
• If Primary Site will be down then backup site is ready to take connection and the downtime will be minimize.
• Testing of Releases
• Test can be perform on the Replica.
By JBH Syed | BSCS | MSDIEM | MCTS | MCITP | OCA | OCP | OCE | SCJP | ITILv3 | PRINCE2 | COBIT5F

14. Network Upload bandwidth
• Network upload bandwidth requirement
• It depends on the
• Binary log size.
•Configure minimum size of binary logs as possible.
•Separate disk or partition for binary logs.
• MonitoringTool (Optional)
•Workbench and other tools which is using from the Primary Site to the Backup
Site.
• Etc..
By JBH Syed | BSCS | MSDIEM | MCTS | MCITP | OCA | OCP | OCE | SCJP | ITILv3 | PRINCE2 | COBIT5F

15. Network Download bandwidth
• Calculation for Network Download bandwidth requirement factors
• Application Server on the Primary Site
• Largest Row in the Database
• (Maximum Row Size *Total Number of Records fetch at a time) * Number of
Concurrent Requests.
• Application Server on the DR Site
• Maximum data packet size at a time * Number of concurrent requests.
