Thread: [HOWTO] MySQL Cluster, Rsync, Unison: Set up a simple cluster

Hi Everyone,

I have put together a HOWTO for setting up a MySQL cluster. It requires three servers (it is not possible to set up a mysql cluster with two servers and still have HA) but one of them can be a low-spec machine and is only needed when starting and restarting the cluster.

The HOWTO can be found at http://www.davz.net/static/howto/mysqlcluster

It will shortly be featured on dev.mysql.com so if anyone has any comments please email me so I can correct it in time! It has been reviewed by several members of the MYSQL development team and I have had many emails reporting sucess.

Please feel free to email me if you have any problems and *please* email me to report sucess!

You may also find the following HOWTO useful if you are setting up a cluster:

Useful article - We have been looking at using MySQL cluster recently, it seems remarkably simple, which is strange for something with "cluster" in it
