1, MHA overview
- MHA (Master HA) is an open source MySQL high availability program. It provides the function of automatic master failover for MySQL master-slave replication architecture.
- When MHA monitors the failure of the master node, it will promote the slave node with the latest data to become a new master node. During this period, MHA will avoid consistency problems by obtaining additional information from other slave nodes.
- MHA also provides the online switching function of the master node, that is, switching the master/slave node on demand.
- MHA can achieve failover within 30 seconds and ensure data consistency as much as possible during failover.
2, MHA service composition
2.1 MHA Manager (management node)
- It is usually deployed separately on an independent machine to manage multiple master/slave clusters (groups). Each master/slave cluster is called an application to manage and coordinate the whole cluster.
2.2 MHA node
- Run on each MySQL server (master/slave/manager), and speed up failover by monitoring scripts with the functions of parsing and cleaning logs.
- It is mainly the agent that receives the instructions sent by the management node. The agent needs to run on each mysql node.
- In short, node is used to collect the bin logs generated from the node server.
- Compare whether the slave node intended to be promoted to the new master node owns and completes the operation. If it is not sent to the new master node, it will be promoted to the master node after local application.
3, Working principle and characteristics of MHA
- ① Save binary log events from the master of downtime and crash
- ② Identify the slave with the latest update
- ③ Apply different relay logs to other slave
- ④ Apply binary log events saved from the master
- ⑤ Upgrade a slave to a new master
- ⑥ Use another slave to connect to the new master for replication
- MHA features
- In the process of automatic failover, MHA tries to save binary logs from the down primary server, so as to ensure no data loss to the greatest extent
- Using semi synchronous replication can greatly reduce the risk of data loss
- At present, MHA supports a master-slave architecture with at least three servers, i.e. one master and two slaves
4, MHA construction and fault simulation
4.1 construction environment
host name | IP address | role | All installation packages (MHA) |
---|
manager | 192.168.131.14 | manager management node | manager component, MHA node component |
master | 192.168.131.9 | mysql master database | MHA node assembly |
slave1 | 192.168.131.10 | mysql from database | MHA node assembly |
slave2 | 192.168.131.11 | mysql from database | MHA node assembly |
4.2 deployment ideas
- Install MySQL database
- Configure MySQL with one master and two slaves
- Install MHA software
- Configure MySQL MHA high availability
- Simulate master failover
4.3 install MySQL database and synchronize with master-slave
- Close the firewall and modify the host name (master, salve1, salve2, mha)
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl stop firewalld.service
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl disable firewalld.service
[root@localhost ~]# setenforce 0
[root@localhost ~]# hostnamectl set-hostname master
[root@localhost ~]# su
[root@master ~]#
- Compilation dependent environment and amake compilation tool installation (three MySQL servers)

4.4 configure MHA
- Install MHA dependent environment on all servers (epel source needs to be installed first)
[install epel Source, and no gph Check]
[root@localhost ~]# yum -y install epel-release --nogpgcheck
[root@localhost /]# Yum install - y perl DBD mysql \ [perl for mysql database]

- Install all node components
- You must first install the node component on all servers, and finally install the manager component on the MHA manager node (because manager depends on the node component)
[root@localhost opt]# ls

[root@localhost mha4mysql-node-0.57]# perl Makefile.PL
[root@localhost mha4mysql-node-0.57]# make && make install
- Install the manager component on the MHA node
- node must be installed before installing the manager component
[root@localhost opt]# ls

4.8 check the master-slave connection of mysql on the node without password authentication and manager
- Test ssh password free authentication on the manager node. If it is normal, it will output successfully
- Test the mysql master-slave connection on the manager node
4.9 start MHA on the manager node
- --remove_dead_master_conf: this parameter indicates that the ip of the old master database will be removed from the configuration file after the master-slave switch.
- --manger_log: log storage location.
- --ignore_last_failover: by default, if MHA detects continuous downtime and the interval between two outages is less than 8 hours, it will not fail. The reason for this restriction is to avoid ping pong effect.
This parameter also means to ignore the files generated by the last MHA triggered switching. By default, after MHA switching, it will be recorded in the log directory, that is, the log app1 set above failover. Complete file. If the file is found in this directory during the next switch, the switch is not allowed to be triggered unless the file is deleted after the first switch. For convenience, it is set to – ignore here_ last_ failover.

app1 (pid:9558) is running(0:PING_OK), master:192.168.131.9

- Stop the mysql service on the Master node
[root@localhost mha4mysql-node-0.57]# systemctl stop mysqld.service
- Algorithm of alternative master database for failover
- Generally, the judgment of the slave library is from the (position/GTID). There are differences in the data, which is closest to the slave of the master and becomes the alternative master.
- When the data is consistent, select the alternative main library according to the order of the configuration file.
- Set the weight (candidate_master=1), and force to specify the alternative master according to the weight.
- By default, if a slave falls behind the master's 100m relay logs, even if it has a weight, it will fail.
- If check_ repl_ If delay = 0, even if it lags behind a lot of logs, it is forced to select it as the alternative master.

- MHA consists of MHA Manager (management node) and MHA node (data node)
- MHA features
- In the process of automatic failover, MHA tries to save binary logs from the down primary server, so as to ensure no data loss to the greatest extent
- Using semi synchronous replication can greatly reduce the risk of data loss
- At present, MHA supports a master-slave architecture with at least three servers, i.e. one master and two slaves
- Semi synchronous replication: as the name suggests, it is a part of replication, which may be different from the data of the main database. No matter how complete the master-slave mechanism is, the slave database sometimes lags behind the master database.
