with fabric's official ga release this week, i thought i would post a spin on how to setup a development environment loosely based on thefabric quick start guidein the manual.
The notable change, is the use of MySQL Sandbox for bootstrapping each of the MySQL instances.
Step 1: Install the MySQL Utilities + Python Connector
In my case, I downloaded:
- mysql-utilities-1.4.3-osx10.7.dmgMac OS X 10.7 (Architecture Independent), DMG Archive
- mysql-connector-python-1.2.2-osx10.7.dmgMac OS X 10.7 (Architecture Independent), DMG Archive
The GUI install in both cases works as expected. Next, Next, Done!
Step 2: Install MySQL Sandbox
MySQL Sandboxis available viaLaunchpadorCPAN. There isn't a major difference between the two, but I happened to choose CPAN.
The advantage of installing Sandbox over a utility such asmysqld_multi, is that it's much easier to setup and tear down replication.
Step 3: Download a 5.6 tarball
In my case, I downloadedmysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86.tar.gzMac OS X 10.7 (x86, 32-bit), Compressed TAR Archive. On Mac OS X it is useful to use Google Chrome rather than Safari, as you do not want the file automatically decompressed.
Important:Download only! MySQL Sandbox does the install in the next step.
Step 4: Setup the Fabric Backing Store
The first copy of MySQL to setup is the MySQL Fabric backing store. This will house thefabricschema which stores configuration data. Here is the setup line I used:
$ make_sandbox mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86.tar.gzunpacking /Users/morgo/Downloads/mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86.tar.gzExecuting low_level_make_sandbox --basedir=/Users/morgo/Downloads/5.6.17 / --sandbox_directory=msb_5_6_17 / --install_version=5.6 / --sandbox_port=5617 / --no_ver_after_name / --my_clause=log-error=msandbox.err The MySQL Sandbox,version 3.0.43 (C) 2006-2013 Giuseppe Maxiainstalling with the following parameters:upper_directory = /Users/morgo/sandboxessandbox_directory = msb_5_6_17sandbox_port = 5617check_port =no_check_port =datadir_from = scriptinstall_version = 5.6basedir = /Users/morgo/Downloads/5.6.17tmpdir =my_file =operating_system_user = morgodb_user = msandboxremote_access = 127.%bind_address = 127.0.0.1ro_user = msandbox_rorw_user = msandbox_rwrepl_user = rsandboxdb_password = msandboxrepl_password = rsandboxmy_clause = log-error=msandbox.errmaster =slaveof =high_performance =prompt_prefix = mysqlprompt_body =[/h] {/u} (/d) >force =no_ver_after_name = 1verbose =load_grants = 1no_load_grants =no_run =no_show =do you agree?

I also need to create the user in MySQL for Fabric to connect as:
$ $HOME/sandboxes/msb_5_6_17/use -urootWelcome to the MySQL monitor.Commands end with ; or /g.Your MySQL connection id is 5Server version: 5.6.17 MySQL Community Server (GPL)Copyright (c) 2000, 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

The next step is to bootstrap a 3-node replication sandbox, and then add it as a HA Group in Fabric.
First with MySQL Sandbox:
$ make_replication_sandbox mysql-5.6.17-osx10.7-x86.tar.gzinstalling and starting masterinstalling slave 1installing slave 2starting slave 1.. sandbox server startedstarting slave 2.. sandbox server startedinitializing slave 1initializing slave 2replication directory installed in $HOME/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17$ $HOME/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17/m -urootWelcome to the MySQL monitor.Commands end with ; or /g.Your MySQL connection id is 5Server version: 5.6.17-log MySQL Community Server (GPL)Copyright (c) 2000, 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

$ mysqlfabric group create GLOBAL1Procedure :{ uuid= 23593cf1-c516-46ef-beaa-516b333353ca,finished= True,success = True,return= True,activities=}$ mysqlfabric group add GLOBAL1 localhost:20082Procedure :{ uuid= e72decdf-6524-45b4-9eb6-6d757c0daf3a,finished= True,success = False,return= ServerError: Server (e208ca4a-e5df-11e3-9dd5-4cd7500a4330) does not have the binary log or gtid enabled.,activities=}An error! What this error is saying, is that Fabric is designed to specifically take advantage of Replication with GTIDs which are designed to handle smoother failover if the topology changes. Thankfully, MySQL Sandbox has an easy way of being able toswitch to GTIDs:
$ $HOME/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17/enable_gtid# option 'master-info-repository=table' added to master configuration file# option 'relay-log-info-repository=table' added to master configuration file# option 'gtid_mode=ON' added to master configuration file# option 'log-slave-updates' added to master configuration file# option 'enforce-gtid-consistency' added to master configuration file# option 'master-info-repository=table' added to node1 configuration file# option 'relay-log-info-repository=table' added to node1 configuration file# option 'gtid_mode=ON' added to node1 configuration file# option 'log-slave-updates' added to node1 configuration file# option 'enforce-gtid-consistency' added to node1 configuration file# option 'master-info-repository=table' added to node2 configuration file# option 'relay-log-info-repository=table' added to node2 configuration file# option 'gtid_mode=ON' added to node2 configuration file# option 'log-slave-updates' added to node2 configuration file# option 'enforce-gtid-consistency' added to node2 configuration file# executing "stop" on /Users/morgo/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17executing "stop" on slave 1executing "stop" on slave 2executing "stop" on master# executing "start" on /Users/morgo/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17executing "start" on master. sandbox server startedexecuting "start" on slave 1. sandbox server startedexecuting "start" on slave 2. sandbox server started
With this change, adding servers to Fabric will now work:
$ mysqlfabric group add GLOBAL1 localhost:20082Procedure :{ uuid= c9da0536-0f3f-4d75-9f29-1ac6c12ff686,finished= True,success = True,return= True,activities=}$ mysqlfabric group add GLOBAL1 localhost:20083Procedure :{ uuid= 92b42645-311f-423b-86b4-3a56870db244,finished= True,success = True,return= True,activities=}$ mysqlfabric group add GLOBAL1 localhost:20084Procedure :{ uuid= 1f16a586-4a60-4b7d-a339-be3830614984,finished= True,success = True,return= True,activities=}We can find group commands with:
$ mysqlfabric groupCommands available in group 'group' are: group activate group_id[--synchronous] group description group_id[--description=NONE] [--synchronous] group deactivate group_id[--synchronous] group create group_id[--description=NONE] [--synchronous] group remove group_id server_id[--synchronous] group add group_id address[--timeout=5] [--update_only] [--synchronous] group health group_id group lookup_servers group_id[--server_id=NONE] [--status=NONE] [--mode=NONE] group destroy group_id[--force] [--synchronous] group demote group_id[--update_only] [--synchronous] group promote group_id[--slave_id=NONE] [--update_only] [--synchronous] group lookup_groups[--group_id=NONE]
Of which the useful option will be to list the servers in our groupGLOBAL1:
$ mysqlfabric group lookup_servers GLOBAL1Command :{ success = Truereturn= [{'status': 'SECONDARY', 'server_uuid': 'e208ca4a-e5df-11e3-9dd5-4cd7500a4330', 'mode': 'READ_ONLY', 'weight': 1.0, 'address': 'localhost:20082'}, {'status': 'SECONDARY', 'server_uuid': 'e931694e-e5df-11e3-9dd5-4cd64dfe115b', 'mode': 'READ_ONLY', 'weight': 1.0, 'address': 'localhost:20083'}, {'status': 'SECONDARY', 'server_uuid': 'ea61dfba-e5df-11e3-9dd5-4bd23bb2cbe3', 'mode': 'READ_ONLY', 'weight': 1.0, 'address': 'localhost:20084'}]activities=}The UUID in use here, is the same one that is used for Replication with GTIDs. To promote the first server as a master:
$ mysqlfabric group promote GLOBAL1 --slave_id=e208ca4a-e5df-11e3-9dd5-4cd7500a4330Procedure :{ uuid= be791f70-be3e-4ee9-9872-e1cedce36791,finished= True,success = True,return= True,activities=}$ mysqlfabric group lookup_servers GLOBAL1Command :{ success = Truereturn= [{'status': 'PRIMARY', 'server_uuid': 'e208ca4a-e5df-11e3-9dd5-4cd7500a4330', 'mode': 'READ_WRITE', 'weight': 1.0, 'address': 'localhost:20082'}, {'status': 'SECONDARY', 'server_uuid': 'e931694e-e5df-11e3-9dd5-4cd64dfe115b', 'mode': 'READ_ONLY', 'weight': 1.0, 'address': 'localhost:20083'}, {'status': 'SECONDARY', 'server_uuid': 'ea61dfba-e5df-11e3-9dd5-4bd23bb2cbe3', 'mode': 'READ_ONLY', 'weight': 1.0, 'address': 'localhost:20084'}]activities=}Next steps
This How-to can easily be extended tosetup additional HA groups for shards- MySQL Sandbox really simplifies the setup by bootstrapping replication.
One caveat to be aware of: Each copy ofmysqldrunning can take up quite a bit of RAM. It is possible totune this downusing some steps that I mentioned in an earlier post.
