MySQL (Master-Slave) Replication

The MySQL Replication is very useful in terms of Data SecurityFail-over SolutionDatabase Backup from SlaveAnalytics etc. We use the following things to carry the replication process. In your scenario it would be different.
  1. Working Linux OS like CentOS 6.3RedHat 6.3 or Fedora 17
  2. Master and Slave are CentOS 6.3 Linux Servers.
  3. Master IP Address is: 192.168.1.1.
  4. Slave IP Address is: 192.168.1.2.
  5. Master and Slave are on the same LAN network.
  6. Master and Slave has MySQL version installed.
  7. Master allow remote MySQL connections on port 3306.
We have two servers, one is Master with IP (192.168.1.1) and other is Slave as (192.168.1.2). We have divided the setup process in two phases to make things easier for you, In Phase I we will configure Master server and in Phase II with Slave server. Let’s start the replication setup process.

Phase I: Configure Master Server (192.168.1.1) for Replication

In Phase I, we will see the installation of MySQL, setting up Replication and then verifying replication.
Install a MySQL in Master Server
First, proceed with MySQL installation using YUM command. If you already have MySQL installation, you can skip this step.

   # yum install mysql-server mysql
Configure a MySQL in Master Server
Open my.cnf configuration file with VI editor.
# vi /etc/my.cnf
Add the following entries under [mysqld] section and don’t forget to replace cms with database name that you would like to replicate on Slave.
server-id = 1
binlog-do-db=cms
relay-log = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-bin
relay-log-index = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-bin.index
log-error = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.err
master-info-file = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-master.info
relay-log-info-file = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-log.info
log-bin = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin
Restart the MySQL service.
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
Login into MySQL as root user and create the slave user and grant privileges for replication. Replace slave_user with user and your_password with password.
# mysql -u root -p

mysql> GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO 'slave_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;
mysql> SHOW MASTER STATUS;
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| File             | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| mysql-bin.000003 | 11128001 | cms          |                  |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> quit;
Please write down the File (mysql-bin.000003) and Position (11128001) numbers, we required these numbers later on Slave server. Next apply READ LOCK to databases to export all the database and master database information with mysqldump command.
#  mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases --master-data > /root/dbdump.db
Once you’ve dump all the databases, now again connect to mysql as root user and unlcok tables.
mysql> UNLOCK TABLES;
mysql> quit;
Upload the database dump file on Slave Server (192.168.1.2) using SCP command.
scp /root/dbdump.db root@192.168.1.2:/root/
That’s it we have successfully configured Master server, let’s proceed to Phase II section.

Phase II: Configure Slave Server (192.168.1.2) for Replication

In Phase II, we do the installation of MySQL, setting up Replication and then verifying replication.
Install a MySQL in Slave Server
If you don’t have MySQL installed, then install it using YUM command.
# yum install mysql-server mysql
Configure a MySQL in Slave Server
Open my.cnf configuration file with VI editor.
# vi /etc/my.cnf
Add the following entries under [mysqld] section and don’t forget to replace IP address of Master server, cms with database name etc, that you would like to replicate with Master.
server-id = 2
master-host=192.168.1.1
master-connect-retry=60
master-user=slave_user
master-password=yourpassword
replicate-do-db=cms
relay-log = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-bin
relay-log-index = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-bin.index
log-error = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.err
master-info-file = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-master.info
relay-log-info-file = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-log.info
log-bin = /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin
Now import the dump file that we exported in earlier command and restart the MySQL service.

# mysql -u root -p
mysql> slave stop;

# mysql -u root -p < /root/dbdump.db
# /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
Login into MySQL as root user and stop the slave. Then tell the slave to where to look for Master log file, that we have write down on master with SHOW MASTER STATUS; command as File (mysql-bin.000003) and Position (11128001) numbers. You must change 192.168.1.1 to the IP address of the Master Server, and change the user and password accordingly.

# mysql -u root -p
mysql> slave stop;
mysql> CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='192.168.1.1', MASTER_USER='slave_user', MASTER_PASSWORD='yourpassword', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000003', MASTER_LOG_POS=11128001;
mysql> slave start;
mysql> show slave status\G

Verifying MySQL Replication on Master and Slave Server

It’s really very important to know that the replication is working perfectly. On Master server create table and insert some values in it.
On Master Server
mysql> use cms;
mysql> CREATE TABLE employee (c int);
mysql> INSERT INTO employee (c) VALUES (1);
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee;
+------+
|  c  |
+------+
|  1  |
+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
On Slave Server
Verifying the SLAVE, by running the same command, it will return the same values in the slave too.
mysql> use cms;
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee;
+------+
|  c  |
+------+
|  1  |
+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
That’s it, finally you’ve configured MySQL Replication in a few simple steps.
