Animation teaches you all that happened in World War II in 7 minutes

MySQL Sandbox

Send to KindleHi there, today we will learn about an amazing tool that every single MySQL dba must know, I’m talking about MySQL Sandbox.
MySQL Sandbox is developed by Giuseppe Maxia (The Data Charmer), it’s a tool that make the installation of MySQL servers very easy. If you need to quickly create a MySQL instance for test or a replication setup(it supports master slave, circular and master master replication), this it the tool.
INSTALLATION:
Go to http://ift.tt/P4Mlki and get the latest version (I got from launchpad):
yum install perl perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker perl-Test-Simple
wget http://ift.tt/1oaY0jQ
tar -zxvf MySQL-Sandbox-3.0.44.tar.gz
cd MySQL-Sandbox-3.0.44
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
CREATING A SINGLE SANDBOX:
To create a single sandbox, all you need is the mysql package that you want install and the make_sandbox command:
[root@localhost ~]# make_sandbox mysql-5.6.17-linux-glibc2.5-i686.tar.gz unpacking /root/mysql-5.6.17-linux-glibc2.5-i686.tar.gz
Executing low_level_make_sandbox –basedir=/root/5.6.17 \
–sandbox_directory=msb_5_6_17 \
–install_version=5.6 \
–sandbox_port=5617 \
–no_ver_after_name \
–my_clause=log-error=msandbox.err
The MySQL Sandbox, version 3.0.44
(C) 2006-2013 Giuseppe Maxia
installing with the following parameters:
upper_directory = /root/sandboxes
sandbox_directory = msb_5_6_17
sandbox_port = 5617
check_port = no_check_port = datadir_from = script
install_version = 5.6
basedir = /root/5.6.17
tmpdir = my_file = operating_system_user = root
db_user = msandbox
remote_access = 127.%
bind_address = 127.0.0.1
ro_user = msandbox_ro
rw_user = msandbox_rw
repl_user = rsandbox
db_password = msandbox
repl_password = rsandbox
my_clause = log-error=msandbox.err
master = slaveof = high_performance = prompt_prefix = mysql
prompt_body = [\h] {\u} (\d) > force = no_ver_after_name = 1
verbose = load_grants = 1
no_load_grants = no_run = no_show = do you agree? ([Y],n) loading grants
.. sandbox server started
Your sandbox server was installed in $HOME/sandboxes/msb_5_6_17
To use it you can call the use script inside the sandbox folder:
[root@localhost ~]# $HOME/sandboxes/msb_5_6_17/use

mysql [localhost] {msandbox} ((none)) > You can manage your sandbox by calling the start / stop / restart / status script inside the sandbox folder
CREATING A MASTER SLAVE REPLICATION:
To create a master slave replication topology (by default is set to 1 master and 2 slaves but it can be changed passing the –how_many_nodes parameter) we will use the make_replication_sandbox command:
[root@localhost ~]# make_replication_sandbox mysql-5.6.17-linux-glibc2.5-i686.tar.gz installing and starting master
installing slave 1
installing slave 2
starting slave 1
…. sandbox server started
starting slave 2
.. sandbox server started
initializing slave 1
initializing slave 2
replication directory installed in $HOME/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17
To use it we can call the use script, for replication, the use script will be located inside the nodeN/Master folder:
[root@localhost ~]# #MASTER
[root@localhost ~]# /root/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17/master/use Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

CREATING A MULTI MASTER REPLICATION:
To create a multi-master sandbox we will use the make_replication_sandbox with –master_master option:
[root@localhost ~]# make_replication_sandbox –master_master mysql-5.6.17-linux-glibc2.5-i686.tar.gz
installing node 1
installing node 2
# server: 1: # server: 2: # server: 1: # server: 2: Circular replication activated
group directory installed in $HOME/sandboxes/rcsandbox_mysql-5_6_17
That is it, you can find more information using the help parameter on make_multiple_custom_sandbox make_multiple_sandbox make_replication_sandbox make_sandbox make_sandbox_from_installed and make_sandbox_from_source

Emory University SCCM Server Accidentally Reformats All Computers Campus-wide

acidradio writes: "Somehow the SCCM application and image deployment server at Emory University in Atlanta accidentally started to repartition, reformat then install a new image of Windows 7 onto all university-managed computers. By the time this was discovered the SCCM server had managed to repartition and reformat itself. This was likely an accident. But what if it weren’t? Could this have shed light on a possibly huge vulnerability in large enterprise organizations that rely heavily on automated software deployment packages like SCCM?"
