Our team of MySQL database experts regularly blogs on topics that range from MySQL availability, MySQL replication, multi-master MySQL, and MySQL-aware proxies, all the way through to ‘how to’ content for our solutions: Tungsten Clustering, Tungsten Replicator and Tungsten Proxy.
London Trip! Continuent Tungsten Solutions Training
First we went through an install of a simple three-node cluster using allotted AWS ec2 instances. We created the directories and database users and got the Tungsten Clustering software installed and up-and-running. Then we covered cluster control operations using cctrl, like switch and recover, as well as replicator techniques using trepctl. Some other items on the agenda included an overview of the latest release (which came out last week), replication stages and filters, monitoring, and various useful configurations and options. In Day 2 we learned about backups, and did a deep dive into the various Connector methods and some of their pros and cons.
