Configuring MySQL for ZFS Replication

1336

For example, to copy a snapshot of the 

scratchpool

 file system to a new file system called

slavepool

 on a new server, you would use the following command. This sequence combines the

snapshot of 

scratchpool

, the transmission to the slave machine (using 

ssh

 with login credentials),

and the recovery of the snapshot on the slave using 

zfs recv

:

root-shell> zfs send scratchpool@snap1 |ssh 

id

@

host

 pfexec zfs recv -F slavepool

The first part of the pipeline, 

zfs send scratchpool@snap1

, streams the snapshot. The

ssh

 command, and the command that it executes on the other server, 

pfexec zfs recv -F

slavepool

, receives the streamed snapshot data and writes it to slavepool. In this instance, I've

specified the 

-F

 option which forces the snapshot data to be applied, and is therefore destructive. This

is fine, as I'm creating the first version of my replicated file system.

On the slave machine, the replicated file system contains the exact same content:

root-shell> ls -al /slavepool/

total 23

drwxr-xr-x   6 root     root           7 Nov  8 09:13 ./

drwxr-xr-x  29 root     root          34 Nov  9 07:06 ../

drwxr-xr-x  31 root     bin           50 Jul 21 07:32 DTT/

drwxr-xr-x   4 root     bin            5 Jul 21 07:32 SUNWmlib/

drwxr-xr-x  14 root     sys           16 Nov  5 09:56 SUNWspro/

drwxrwxrwx  19 1000     1000          40 Nov  6 19:16 emacs-22.1/

Once a snapshot has been created, to synchronize the file system again, you create a new snapshot
and then use the incremental snapshot feature of 

zfs send

 to send the changes between the two

snapshots to the slave machine again:

root-shell> zfs send -i scratchpool@snapshot1 scratchpool@snapshot2 |ssh 

id

@

host

 pfexec zfs recv slavepool

This operation only succeeds if the file system on the slave machine has not been modified at all. You
cannot apply the incremental changes to a destination file system that has changed. In the example
above, the 

ls

 command would cause problems by changing the metadata, such as the last access

time for files or directories.

To prevent changes on the slave file system, set the file system on the slave to be read-only:

root-shell> zfs set readonly=on slavepool

Setting 

readonly

 means that you cannot change the file system on the slave by normal means,

including the file system metadata. Operations that would normally update metadata (like our 

ls

)

silently perform their function without attempting to update the file system state.

In essence, the slave file system is nothing but a static copy of the original file system. However, even
when configured to to be read-only, a file system can have snapshots applied to it. With the file system
set to read only, re-run the initial copy:

root-shell> zfs send scratchpool@snap1 |ssh 

id

@

host

 pfexec zfs recv -F slavepool

Now you can make changes to the original file system and replicate them to the slave.

15.5.2. Configuring MySQL for ZFS Replication

Configuring MySQL on the source file system is a case of creating the data on the file system that
you intend to replicate. The configuration file in the example below has been updated to use 

/

scratchpool/mysql-data

 as the data directory, and now you can initialize the tables:

root-shell> mysql_install_db --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/5.5/my.cnf --user=mysql

To synchronize the initial information, perform a new snapshot and then send an incremental snapshot
to the slave using 

zfs send

:

root-shell> zfs snapshot scratchpool@snap2
