If you have an existing cluster and you want to replicate the data out to a separate standalone server using Tungsten Replicator then you can create a cluster alias, and use a Primary/Replica topology to replicate from the cluster. This allows for THL events from the cluster to be applied to a separate server for the purposes of backup or separate analysis.
During the installation process a cluster-alias and
cluster-slave are declared. The cluster-alias
describes all of the servers in the cluster and how they may be reached.
The cluster-slave defines one or more servers that
will replicate from the cluster.
The Tungsten Replicator will be installed on the Cluster-Extractor server. That server will download THL data and apply them to the local server. If the Cluster-Extractor has more than one server; one of them will be declared the relay (or Primary). The other members of the Cluster-Extractor may also download THL data from that server.
If the relay for the Cluster-Extractor fails; the other nodes will automatically start downloading THL data from a server in the cluster. If a non-relay server fails; it will not have any impact on the other members.
Identify the cluster to replicate from. You will need the Primary, Replicas and THL port (if specified). Use tpm reverse from a cluster member to find the correct values.
If you are replicating to a non-MySQL server. Update the configuration of the cluster to include the following properties prior to beginning.
svc-extractor-filters=colnames,pkey property=replicator.filter.pkey.addColumnsToDeletes=true property=replicator.filter.pkey.addPkeyToInserts=true
Identify all servers that will replicate from the cluster. If there is more than one, a relay server should be identified to replicate from the cluster and provide THL data to other servers.
Prepare each server according to the prerequisites for the DBMS platform it is serving. If you are working with multiple DBMS platforms; treat each platform as a different Cluster-Extractor during deployment.
Make sure the THL port for the cluster is open between all servers.
Install the Tungsten Replicator package or download the Tungsten Replicator tarball, and unpack it:
shell>
cd /opt/continuent/softwareshell>tar zxftungsten-replicator-6.1.25-6.tar.gzChange to the unpackaged directory:
shell>
cdtungsten-replicator-6.1.25-6Configure the replicator

Important
If you are replicating to a non-MySQL server. Include the following steps in your configuration.
shell>
mkdir -p /opt/continuent/share/shell>cp tungsten-replicator/support/filters-config/convertstringfrommysql.json » /opt/continuent/share/Then, include the following parameters in the configuration
property=replicator.stage.remote-to-thl.filters=convertstringfrommysql property=replicator.filter.convertstringfrommysql.definitionsFile= » /opt/continuent/share/convertstringfrommysql.jsonImportant
This dataservice
cluster-aliasname MUST be the same as the cluster dataservice name that you are replicating from.Note
Do not include
start-and-report=trueif you are taking over for MySQL native replication. See Section 7.10.1, “Migrating from MySQL Native Replication 'In-Place'” for next steps after completing installation.Once the configuration has been completed, you can perform the installation to set up the services using this configuration:
shell>
./tools/tpm install
During the installation and startup, tpm will notify you of any problems that need to be fixed before the service can be correctly installed and started. If the service starts correctly, you should see the configuration and current status of the service.
If the installation process fails, check the output of the
/tmp/tungsten-configure.log file for
more information about the root cause.
The cluster should be installed and ready to use.
