7 Start The Load Balancer And Do Some Testing

Now we can start our two load balancers for the first time:

loadb1.example.com / loadb2.example.com:

/etc/init.d/ldirectord stop
/etc/init.d/heartbeat start

If you don't see errors, you should now reboot both load balancers:

loadb1.example.com / loadb2.example.com:

shutdown -r now

After the reboot we can check if both load balancers work as expected :

loadb1.example.com / loadb2.example.com:

ip addr sh eth0

The active load balancer should list the virtual IP address (192.168.0.105):

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:16:3e:45:fc:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.103/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0
    inet 192.168.0.105/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global secondary eth0

The hot-standby should show this:

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:16:3e:16:c1:4e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.104/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0

loadb1.example.com / loadb2.example.com:

ldirectord ldirectord.cf status

Output on the active load balancer:

ldirectord for /etc/ha.d/ldirectord.cf is running with pid: 1603

Output on the hot-standby:

ldirectord is stopped for /etc/ha.d/ldirectord.cf

loadb1.example.com / loadb2.example.com:

ipvsadm -L -n

Output on the active load balancer:

IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port           Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
TCP  192.168.0.105:3306 wrr
  -> 192.168.0.101:3306           Route   1      0          0
  -> 192.168.0.102:3306           Route   1      0          0

Output on the hot-standby:

IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port           Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn

loadb1.example.com / loadb2.example.com:

/etc/ha.d/resource.d/LVSSyncDaemonSwap master status

Output on the active load balancer:

master running
(ipvs_syncmaster pid: 1766)

Output on the hot-standby:

master stopped
(ipvs_syncbackup pid: 1440)

If your tests went fine, you can now try to access the MySQL database from a totally different server in the same network (192.168.0.x) using the virtual IP address 192.168.0.105:

mysql -h 192.168.0.105 -u ldirector -p

(Please note: your MySQL client must at least be of version 4.1; older versions do not work with MySQL 5.)

You can now switch off one of the MySQL cluster nodes for test purposes; you should then still be able to connect to the MySQL database.

8 Annotations

There are some important things to keep in mind when running a MySQL cluster:

- All data is stored in RAM! Therefore you need lots of RAM on your cluster nodes. The formula how much RAM you need on ech node goes like this:

(SizeofDatabase × NumberOfReplicas × 1.1 ) / NumberOfDataNodes

So if you have a database that is 1 GB of size, you would need 1.1 GB RAM on each node!

- The cluster management node listens on port 1186, and anyone can connect. So that's definitely not secure, and therefore you should run your cluster in an isolated private network!

It's a good idea to have a look at the MySQL Cluster FAQ: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-cluster-faq.html and also at the MySQL Cluster documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ndbcluster.html
