Setting Up an InnoDB Cluster

InnoDB clusters in MySQL offer high availability and fault

tolerance, ensuring a robust database system. Here’s a step-by-
step guide to set up an InnoDB cluster on multiple VMs:
Connectivity pre-requisite
Make sure the port 3306 and 33061 (or the ports you are using for
database and replication) are allowed between the participating
nodes
1. Install MySQL Server and MySQL Shell:
https://medium.com/@makhshif.tanvir/setting-up-an-innodb-cluster-in-mysql-bfdb62f4f9a9 1/12
Install MySQL Server on each VM. Ensure the MySQL versions

are the same:
mysql --version
Install MySQL Shell on all VMs:
yum install mysql-shell
Check the MySQL Shell version on all machines to ensure

uniformity:
mysqlsh -V
2. Configuration for Cluster Connectivity:

Update my.cnf on each VM:
bind_address=0.0.0.0
In MySQL, execute the following queries to enable connections:
UPDATE mysql.user SET host='%' WHERE user='root';

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO root@'%';
systemctl restart mysqld
At this point, all VMs should be able to connect to eachother
mysql -u root -p IP_OF_OTHER_MACHINE
3. Assign Cluster Rights:

Grant specific rights for InnoDB cluster on each VM:
GRANT CLONE_ADMIN, CONNECTION_ADMIN, CREATE USER, EXECUTE, FILE,

GROUP_REPLICATION_ADMIN, PERSIST_RO_VARIABLES_ADMIN, PROCESS, RELOA
REPLICATION CLIENT, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION_APPLIER,
REPLICATION_SLAVE_ADMIN, ROLE_ADMIN, SELECT, SHUTDOWN, SYSTEM_VARIA
ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION
4. Configuration Check and Rectification:

Use MySQL Shell to check instance configurations:
mysqlsh -u root -h IP_OF_PRIMARY

dba.checkInstanceConfiguration('root@1.1.1.1:3306')
Example output would be something like this
+----------------------------------------+---------------+---------
| Variable | Current Value | Required
+----------------------------------------+---------------+---------
| binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking | COMMIT_ORDER | WRITESET
| enforce_gtid_consistency | OFF | ON
| gtid_mode | OFF | ON
| server_id | 1 | <unique
| slave_parallel_type | DATABASE | LOGICAL_
| slave_preserve_commit_order | OFF | ON
+----------------------------------------+---------------+---------
Rectify configuration issues reported as needed. When

everything is fine, it will show output as :
Checking instance configuration...

Instance configuration is compatible with InnoDB cluster
The instance 'hostname_of_primary:3306' is valid to be used in an I
"status": "ok"
}
5. Cluster Setup:
Login to the primary machine via shell:
mysqlsh -u root -h IP_OF_PRIMARY (i.e 1.1.1.1)
Configure instances on the primary machine:
dba.configureInstance('root@1.1.1.1:3306')
Create the cluster on the primary machine:
cluster = dba.createCluster('devCluster')
Add other instances to the cluster (execute on primary):
cluster.addInstance('root@2.2.2.2:3306')
cluster.addInstance('root@3.3.3.3:3306')
6. Cluster Status Verification:

Check the cluster status:
cluster = dba.getCluster('devCluster')
cluster.status();
Output would be like following:
{
"clusterName": "devCluster",
"defaultReplicaSet": {
"name": "default",
"primary": "hostname_of_primary:3306",
"ssl": "REQUIRED",
"status": "OK_NO_TOLERANCE",
"statusText": "Cluster is NOT tolerant to any failures.",
"topology": {
"hostname_of_primary:3306": {
"address": "hostname_of_primary:3306",
"memberRole": "PRIMARY",
"mode": "R/W",
"readReplicas": {},
"replicationLag": "applier_queue_applied",
"role": "HA",
"status": "ONLINE",
"version": "8.0.25"
},
"hostname_of_secondary:3306": {
"address": "hostname_of_secondary:3306",
"memberRole": "SECONDARY",
"mode": "R/O",
"readReplicas": {},
"role": "HA",
"status": "ONLINE",
"version": "8.0.25"
}
},
"topologyMode": "Single-Primary"
},
"groupInformationSourceMember": "hostname_of_primary:3306"
}
Verify the cluster status to ensure a successful setup.
Here we have one primary and we added only one secondary

node. It says “Cluster is NOT tolerant to any failures”, When we
add the third instance, this message will disappear since we need
at least 3 nodes for the cluster.
