Installation

Using Galera Cluster requires that you install two packages. The first is the database server, which must include the wsrep API patch. The second package is the Galera Replication Plugin, which enables the write-set replication service functionality with the database server.

There are three implementations of Galera Cluster: MySQL, MariaDB and Percona XtraDB. For each implementation, there is a software repository that provides binary packages for Debian, Red Hat, and SUSE-based Linux distributions.

Enabling the repository

Galera Cluster is not available in the base repositories of Linux distributions. In order to install it with your package manage, you must first enable the repository on your system. The particular methods for doing so vary depending on which distribution you use for OpenStack and which database server you want to use.

Debian

For Debian and Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, complete the following steps:

1. Add the GnuPG key for the database repository that you want to use.

   # apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver \
          keyserver.ubuntu.com BC19DDBA

   Note that the particular key value in this command varies depending on which database software repository you want to use.

   Database	Key
   Galera Cluster for MySQL	BC19DDBA
   MariaDB Galera Cluster	0xcbcb082a1bb943db
   Percona XtraDB Cluster	1C4CBDCDCD2EFD2A

2. Add the repository to your sources list. Using your preferred text editor, create a galera.list file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. For the contents of this file, use the lines that pertain to the software repository you want to install:

   # Galera Cluster for MySQL
   deb http://releases.galeracluster.com/DISTRO RELEASE main
   
   # MariaDB Galera Cluster
   deb http://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/mariadb/repo/VERSION/DISTRO RELEASE main
   
   # Percona XtraDB Cluster
   deb http://repo.percona.com/apt RELEASE main

   For each entry: Replace all instances of DISTRO with the distribution that you use, such as debian or ubuntu. Replace all instances of RELEASE with the release of that distribution, such as wheezy or trusty. Replace all instances of VERSION with the version of the database server that you want to install, such as 5.6 or 10.0.

   Note

   In the event that you do not know the release code-name for your distribution, you can use the following command to find it out:

   $ lsb_release -a

3. Update the local cache.

   # apt-get update

Packages in the Galera Cluster Debian repository are now available for installation on your system.

Red Hat

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat-based Linux distributions, the process is more straightforward. In this file, only enter the text for the repository you want to use.

• For Galera Cluster for MySQL, using your preferred text editor, create a Galera.repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

  [galera]
  name = Galera Cluster for MySQL
  baseurl = http://releases.galeracluster.com/DISTRO/RELEASE/ARCH
  gpgkey = http://releases.galeracluster.com/GPG-KEY-galeracluster.com
  gpgcheck = 1

  Replace DISTRO with the name of the distribution you use, such as centos or fedora. Replace RELEASE with the release number, such as 7 for CentOS 7. Replace ARCH with your system architecture, such as x86_64

• For MariaDB Galera Cluster, using your preferred text editor, create a Galera.repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

  [mariadb]
  name = MariaDB Galera Cluster
  baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/VERSION/PACKAGE
  gpgkey = https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
  gpgcheck = 1

  Replace VERSION with the version of MariaDB you want to install, such as 5.6 or 10.0. Replace PACKAGE with the package type and architecture, such as rhel6-amd64 for Red Hat 6 on 64-bit architecture.

• For Percona XtraDB Cluster, run the following command:

  # yum install http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/redhat/0.1-3/percona-release-0.1-3.noarch.rpm

  Bear in mind that the Percona repository only supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS distributions.

Packages in the Galera Cluster Red Hat repository are not available for installation on your system.

SUSE

For SUSE Enterprise Linux and SUSE-based distributions, such as openSUSE binary installations are only available for Galera Cluster for MySQL and MariaDB Galera Cluster.

1. Create a Galera.repo file in the local directory. For Galera Cluster for MySQL, use the following content:

   [galera]
   name = Galera Cluster for MySQL
   baseurl = http://releases.galeracluster.com/DISTRO/RELEASE
   gpgkey = http://releases.galeracluster.com/GPG-KEY-galeracluster.com
   gpgcheck = 1

   In the text: Replace DISTRO with the name of the distribution you use, such as sles or opensuse. Replace RELEASE with the version number of that distribution.

   For MariaDB Galera Cluster, instead use this content:

   [mariadb]
   name = MariaDB Galera Cluster
   baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/VERSION/PACKAGE
   gpgkey = https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
   gpgcheck = 1

   In the text: Replace VERSION with the version of MariaDB you want to install, such as 5.6 or 10.0. Replace package with the package architecture you want to use, such as opensuse13-amd64.

2. Add the repository to your system:

   $ sudo zypper addrepo Galera.repo

3. Refresh zypper:

   $ sudo zypper refresh

Packages in the Galera Cluster SUSE repository are now available for installation.

Installing Galera Cluster

When you finish enabling the software repository for Galera Cluster, you can install it using your package manager. The particular command and packages you need to install varies depending on which database server you want to install and which Linux distribution you use:

Galera Cluster for MySQL:

• For Debian and Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, run the following command:

  # apt-get install galera-3 mysql-wsrep-5.6

• For Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat-based distributions, such as Fedora or CentOS, instead run this command:

  # yum install galera-3 mysql-wsrep-5.6

• For SUSE Enterprise Linux Server and SUSE-based distributions, such as openSUSE, instead run this command:

  # zypper install galera-3 mysql-wsrep-5.6

MariaDB Galera Cluster:

• For Debian and Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, run the following command:

  # apt-get install galera mariadb-galera-server

• For Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat-based distributions, such as Fedora or CentOS, instead run this command:

  # yum install galera MariaDB-Galera-server

• For SUSE Enterprise Linux Server and SUSE-based distributions, such as openSUSE, instead run this command:

  # zypper install galera MariaDB-Galera-server

Percona XtraDB Cluster:

• For Debian and Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, run the following command:

  # apt-get install percona-xtradb-cluster

• For Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat-based distributions, such as Fedora or CentOS, instead run this command:

# yum install Percona-XtraDB-Cluster

Galera Cluster is now installed on your system. You must repeat this process for each controller node in your cluster.

Warning

In the event that you already installed the standalone version of MySQL, MariaDB or Percona XtraDB, this installation purges all privileges on your OpenStack database server. You must reapply the privileges listed in the installation guide.
