How To Set Up A Load-Balanced MySQL Cluster - Part 3

4 Test The MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合) Cluster

Our MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合) cluster configuration is already finished, now it's time to test it. On the cluster management server (loadb1.example.com), run the cluster management client ndb_mgm to check if the cluster nodes are connected:

loadb1.example.com:

ndb_mgm

You should see this:

-- NDB Cluster -- Management Client --
ndb_mgm>

Now type show; at the command prompt:

show;

The output should be like this:

ndb_mgm> show;
Connected to Management Server at: localhost:1186
Cluster Configuration
---------------------
[ndbd(NDB)] 2 node(s)
id=2 @192.168.0.101 (Version: 5.0.19, Nodegroup: 0, Master)
id=3 @192.168.0.102 (Version: 5.0.19, Nodegroup: 0)

[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 1 node(s)
id=1 @192.168.0.103 (Version: 5.0.19)

[MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)d(API)] 2 node(s)
id=4 @192.168.0.101 (Version: 5.0.19)
id=5 @192.168.0.102 (Version: 5.0.19)

ndb_mgm>

If you see that your nodes are connected, then everything's ok!

Type

quit;

to leave the ndb_mgm client console.

Now we create a test database with a test table and some data on sql1.example.com:

sql1.example.com:

MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合) -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)clustertest;
USE MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)clustertest;
CREATE TABLE testtable (i INT) ENGINE=NDBCLUSTER;
INSERT INTO testtable () VALUES (1);
SELECT * FROM testtable;
quit;

(Have a look at the CREATE statment: We must use ENGINE=NDBCLUSTER for all database tables that we want to get clustered! If you use another engine, then clustering will not work!)

The result of the SELECT statement should be:

MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)> SELECT * FROM testtable;
+------+
| i    |
+------+
| 1    |
+------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)

Now we create the same database on sql2.example.com (yes, we still have to create it, but afterwards testtable and its data should be replicated to sql2.example.com because testtable uses ENGINE=NDBCLUSTER):

sql2.example.com:

MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合) -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)clustertest;
USE MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)clustertest;
SELECT * FROM testtable;

The SELECT statement should deliver you the same result as before on sql1.example.com:

MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)> SELECT * FROM testtable;
+------+
| i    |
+------+
| 1    |
+------+
1 row in set (0.04 sec)

So the data was replicated from sql1.example.com to sql2.example.com. Now we insert another row into testtable:

sql2.example.com:

INSERT INTO testtable () VALUES (2);
quit;

Now let's go back to sql1.example.com and check if we see the new row there:

sql1.example.com:

MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合) -u root -p
USE MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)clustertest;
SELECT * FROM testtable;
quit;

You should see something like this:

MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)> SELECT * FROM testtable;
+------+
| i    |
+------+
| 1    |
| 2    |
+------+
2 rows in set (0.05 sec)

So both MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合) cluster nodes alwas have the same data!

Now let's see what happens if we stop node 1 (sql1.example.com): Run

sql1.example.com:

killall ndbd

and check with

ps aux | grep ndbd | grep -iv grep

that all ndbd processes have terminated. If you still see ndbd processes, run another

killall ndbd

until all ndbd processes are gone.

Now let's check the cluster status on our management server (loadb1.example.com):

loadb1.example.com:

ndb_mgm

On the ndb_mgm console, issue

show;

and you should see this:

ndb_mgm> show;
Connected to Management Server at: localhost:1186
Cluster Configuration
---------------------
[ndbd(NDB)] 2 node(s)
id=2 (not connected, accepting connect from 192.168.0.101)
id=3 @192.168.0.102 (Version: 5.0.19, Nodegroup: 0, Master)

[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 1 node(s)
id=1 @192.168.0.103 (Version: 5.0.19)

[MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)d(API)] 2 node(s)
id=4 @192.168.0.101 (Version: 5.0.19)
id=5 @192.168.0.102 (Version: 5.0.19)

ndb_mgm>

You see, sql1.example.com is not connected anymore.

Type

quit;

to leave the ndb_mgm console.

Let's check sql2.example.com:

sql2.example.com:

MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合) -u root -p
USE MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)clustertest;
SELECT * FROM testtable;
quit;

The result of the SELECT query should still be

MySQL(和PHP搭配之最佳组合)> SELECT * FROM testtable;
+------+
| i    |
+------+
| 1    |
| 2    |
+------+
2 rows in set (0.17 sec)

Ok, all tests went fine, so let's start our sql1.example.com node again:

sql1.example.com:

ndbd
