MySQL replication is used to synchronize a database which is chosen as master into the slave machines. Example Setup:
master : aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa
slave1 : bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb
slave2 : ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc
We modify the my.cnf file in master node such as:
server-id = 1
log-bin
For the changes to take affect, mysql should be restarted.
mysql> GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* to slave_user@'bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb' identified by 'slave_password'
mysql> GRANT RELOAD ON *.* to slave_user@'bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb' identified by 'slave_password';
mysql> GRANT SUPER,REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* to slave_user@'bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb' identified by 'slave_password';
mysql> GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* to slave_user@'ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc' identified by 'slave_password'
mysql> GRANT RELOAD ON *.* to slave_user@'ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc' identified by 'slave_password';
mysql> GRANT SUPER,REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* to slave_user@'ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc' identified by 'slave_password';
We modify the my.cnf file in slave1 machine such as follows (With replicate-do-table we specify which tables to replicate):
server-id = 2
master-host =aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa
master-user = slave_user
master-password=slave_password
master-port = 3306
replicate-do-table=db.TABLE1
replicate-do-table=db.TABLE2
replicate-do-table=db.TABLE3
replicate-do-table=db.TABLE4
We make the same changes in the my.cnf file on slave2
server-id = 3
master-host =aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa
master-user = slave_user
master-password=slave_password
master-port = 3306
replicate-do-table=db.TABLE1
replicate-do-table=db.TABLE2
replicate-do-table=db.TABLE3
replicate-do-table=db.TABLE4
For the changes to take effect, we restart mysql processes on both slaves. On both slaves,
mysql> load data from master
mysql> slave start
You can check slave nodes and master node whether they are working synchronized as below respectively. On slave:
mysql> show slave status\G;
