If you have an existing dataservice, data can be replicated from a standalone MySQL server into the service. The replication is configured by creating a service that reads from the standalone MySQL server and writes into the Primary of the target dataservice. By writing this way, changes are replicated to the Primary and Replica in the new deployment.
Additionally, using a replicator that writes data into an existing data service can be used when migrating from an existing service into a new Tungsten Cluster service.
In order to configure this deployment, there are two steps:
Create a new replicator that reads this data and writes the replicated data into the Primary of the destination dataservice.
Create a new replicator that reads the binary logs directly from the external MySQL service through the Primary of the destination dataservice
There are also the following requirements:
The host on which you want to replicate to must have Tungsten Replicator 5.3.0 or later.
Hosts on both the replicator and cluster must be able to communicate with each other.
The replication user on the source host must have the
RELOAD,REPLICATION SLAVE, andREPLICATION CLIENTGRANTprivileges.Replicator must be able to connect as the
tungstenuser to the databases within the cluster.
Install the Tungsten Replicator package (see
Section 2.1.2, “Using the RPM package files”), or download the compressed
tarball and unpack it on host1:
shell>cd /opt/replicator/softwareshell>tar zxf tungsten-replicator-7.1.4-10.tar.gz
Change to the Tungsten Replicator staging directory:
shell> cd tungsten-replicator-7.1.4-10
Configure the replicator on host1
First we configure the defaults and a cluster alias that points to the Primaries and Replicas within the current Tungsten Cluster service that you are replicating from:

For databases that required authentication, the username to use when connecting to the database using the corresponding connection method (native, JDBC, etc.).
The password to be used when connecting to the database using the corresponding
--replication-user.--skip-validation-check=MySQLNoMySQLReplicationCheckskip-validation-check=MySQLNoMySQLReplicationCheckThe
--skip-validation-checkdisables a given validation check. If any validation check fails, the installation, validation or configuration will automatically stop.Warning
Using this option enables you to bypass the specified check, although skipping a check may lead to an invalid or non-working configuration.
You can identify a given check if an error or warning has been raised during configuration. For example, the default table type check:
... ERROR >> centos >> The datasource root@centos:3306 (WITH PASSWORD) » uses MyISAM as the default storage engine (MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck) ...
The check in this case is
MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck, and could be ignored using--skip-validation-check=MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck.Setting both
--skip-validation-checkand--enable-validation-checkis equivalent to explicitly disabling the specified check.- Optional: Must be specified along with rest-api-admin-pass if you wish to access the full API features and use the Dashboard GUI for cluster installations.
- Optional: Must be specified along with rest-api-admin-user if you wish to access the full API features.
Configuration group beta
The description of each of the options is shown below; click the icon to hide this detail:
Replication topology for the dataservice.
The hostname of the primary (extractor) within the current service.
--direct-datasource-host=host3Database server hostname
Port to use for THL Operations
This creates a configuration that specifies that the topology should read
directly from the source host, host3,
writing directly to host1. An
alternative THL port is provided to ensure that the THL listener is not
operating on the same network port as the original.
Now install the service, which will create the replicator reading direct
from host3 into
host1:
shell> ./tools/tpm install
If the installation process fails, check the output of the
/tmp/tungsten-configure.log file for
more information about the root cause.
Once the installation has been completed, you must update the position of the replicator so that it points to the correct position within the source database to prevent errors during replication. If the replication is being created as part of a migration process, determine the position of the binary log from the external replicator service used when the backup was taken. For example:
mysql> show master status;
*************************** 1. row ***************************
File: mysql-bin.000026
Position: 1311
Binlog_Do_DB:
Binlog_Ignore_DB:
1 row in set (0.00 sec)Use dsctl set to update the replicator position to point to the Primary log position:
shell> /opt/replicator/tungsten/tungsten-replicator/bin/dsctl -service beta set \
-reset -seqno 0 -epoch 0 \
-source-id host3 -event-id mysql-bin.000026:1311Now start the replicator:
shell> /opt/replicator/tungsten/tungsten-replicator/bin/replicator startReplication status should be checked by explicitly using the servicename and/or RMI port:
shell> /opt/replicator/tungsten/tungsten-replicator/bin/trepctl -service beta status
