HA Overview High Availability is the availability of a system or
service despite hardware failures When you think of HA you think of five nines
(99.999%) A lot of companies are ok with three nines (99.9%)
Two ways to gain High Availability Redundant hardware and software Commercial software

HA Terms Continuous Availability No disruption of service during failover
Single point of failure Can one part of a system bring the whole
system down
Failover and or Failover Situations
Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Unmanaged Replication Where most Web 2.0 companies start
A lot of risk Low end, non-redundant hardware
Asynchronous One Way Replication
One Master server Write and Reads
One Slave server Just sits there
No automated Break-Fix Manual intervention for everything

What’s Important in Multi-Master/Hot Standby
Redundant hardware Eliminating single point of failure is crucial
Bidirectional Replication Read-only can be set on Hot Standby Server
Keepalived VIP is attached to the Master server The application talks to the VIP for WRITES
Mk-Query-Digest
Xtrabackup

Keeping Cache Hot / Ensuring Data Integrity
Mk-query-digest (Keeping Hot Standby Cache HOT) Takes read activity on the Master server and runs it on the
Slave server This keeps the caches on the Slave server hot
Mk-table-checksum (Data Integrity) Perform an online replication consistency check, or
checksum MySQL tables efficiently on one or many servers Be sure to use the –replicate flag
Mk-table-sync (Data Integrity) Synchronize MySQL tables efficiently This tool changes data, so for maximum safety, you should
back up your data before you use it

Keepalived – VIP Management Not the only solution but works great for this example
You should also look at: Heatbeat MySQL Proxy HA Proxy
Use Keepalived for: Hardware failures Kernel panics Custom monitoring script to detect InnoDB corruption or
other MySQL problems
Plus, the probability of both servers experiencing a catastrophic failure are remote

Keepalived – VIP Management We want single, one way failover to prevent VIP flapping
(happens in odd cases) and to maintain data integrity Priority of servers
Both nodes are set up with the same priority in the keepalived.conf file for ONE way failover
Master state BACKUP priority 100
Slave state BACKUP priority 100
Priority could cause problems when in a Master / Backup configuration

Multi-Master Replication Manager for MySQL (MMM) Great set of scripts if you don’t want to build your own from
scratch No keepalived needed No custom monitoring script for MySQL
Will perform monitoring, failover and management of MySQL master-master replication (with only one node writable at any time)
Read balance standard master/slave configurations Can handle 1 to many slave servers in a cluster Moves VIP around read servers if they are behind
Requires at least two MySQL hosts and one monitoring host
Agent Based monitoring

Leveraging HA Failovers A real world example on how multi-master can help
Altering a table or multiple tables
Large tables (5GB to over 100GB)
Limited amount of allotted customer facing downtime, less than 5 minutes
Problems with the above situation If you’ve ever tried to run ALTER table on a 100GB table I
bet it never finished
Do you have enough disk space
InnoDB Table Space growth and fragmentation
How much customer downtime do you have to play with

Schema Change – Large tables Example Process (Very loose process)
Stop replication Run an alter or full dump out and reload on the slave server
With ALTER you may or may not want to specify set sql_log = 0; With a dump out and reload you should use the following two
features: SELECT INTO OUT FILE
LOAD DATA INFILE
NOTE: Make sure you dump out by Primary key order
Fail the VIP over Depending on how you ran the schema change you’ll either:
Start replication
Run the same change on the FORMER Master server

Process Benefits The customer will only see seconds of downtime if
any at all The downtime will be during the VIP failover Make sure to run this during off peek
If you choose to use the dump out and reload method Defragmentation InnoDB Table Space will not grow out of control
Disk space could be regained

DRBD – Overview Components Needed for Success
MySQL, Heartbeat and DRBD
Distributed Storage
Synchronous Replication
No special networking components like HBA’s needed
Great Performance (Block vs Statement)
Manages inconsistencies of data during a failure
Streamlines many recovery actions
Automated IP failover and management of VIPs through Heartbeat

When to use MySQL Cluster High Availability is a MUST have
Very large amount of update and selects
Mostly searching on a Clustered Index
Fast failover and crash recovery is needed
Geographical redundancy is needed or will be needed

When NOT to use MySQL Cluster
As a replacement for another storage engine, MyISAM or InnoDB
When caching would work better (not a replacement for Memcached)
When you have complex Schemas with a lot of JOINS
When you have large data sets
