Install MetroCluster Tiebreaker 1.4 dependencies

Depending on your host Linux operating system, install a MySQL or MariaDB server before installing or upgrading the Tiebreaker software.

Steps
  1. Install JDK.

  2. Install MySQL or MariaDB server:

    If the Linux host is

    Then…​

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/CentOS 7

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

Install JDK

You must install JDK on your host system before installing or upgrading the Tiebreaker software. Tiebreaker 1.4 and earlier supports JDK 1.8.0. (JRE 8).

Steps
  1. Log in as a "root" user.

    login as: root
    root@mcctb's password:
    Last login: Fri Jan  8 21:33:00 2017 from host.domain.com
  2. Install JDK 1.8.0:

    yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64

    [root@mcctb ~]# yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64

    PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER!
    To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
    
      /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
      /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h mcctb password 'new-password'
    
    Alternatively, you can run:
      /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
    
    which will also give you the option of removing the test
    databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
    strongly recommended for production servers.

    This file will be read by default by the MySQL server
    If you do not want to use this, either remove it, or use the

    Starting mysqld:                                           [  OK  ]
  8. Confirm that MySQL server is running:

    [root@mcctb ~]# service mysqld status

    mysqld (pid  2739) is running...
  9. Configure security and password settings:

    [root@mcctb ~]# mysql_secure_installation

    NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL
           SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
    
     In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current
     password for the root user.  If you've just installed MySQL, and
     you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
     so you should just press enter here.
    
     Enter current password for root (enter for none):   <== on default install
                                                             hit enter here
     OK, successfully used password, moving on...
    
     Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL
     root user without the proper authorization.
    
     Set root password? [Y/n] y
     New password:
     Re-enter new password:
     Password updated successfully!
     Reloading privilege tables..
      ... Success!
    
     By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
     to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
     them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
     go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
     production environment.
    
     Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
      ... Success!
    
     Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
     ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
    
     Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
      ... Success!
    
     By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
     access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
     before moving into a production environment.
    
     Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y

     ERROR 1008 (HY000) at line 1: Can't drop database 'test';

      ... Failed!  Not critical, keep moving...
      - Removing privileges on test database...
      ... Success!
    
     Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
     will take effect immediately.
    
     Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
      ... Success!
    
     All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MySQL
     installation should now be secure.
    
     Thanks for using MySQL!
    
     Cleaning up...
  10. Verify that the MySQL login is working:

    [root@mcctb ~]# mysql -u root –p

    Enter password: <configured_password>
    Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

    When the MySQL login is working as expected, the output ends at the mysql> prompt.

Enable the MySQL autostart setting

You should verify that the autostart feature is turned on for the MySQL daemon. Turning on the MySQL daemon automatically restarts MySQL if the system on which the MetroCluster Tiebreaker software resides reboots. If the MySQL daemon is not running, the Tiebreaker software continues running, but it cannot be restarted and configuration changes cannot be made.

Step
  1. Verify that MySQL is enabled to autostart when booted:

    [root@mcctb ~]# systemctl list-unit-files mysqld.service

    UNIT FILE          State
    ------------------ ----------
    mysqld.service     enabled

    If MySQL is not enabled to autostart when booted, see the MySQL documentation to enable the autostart feature for your installation.

Install MariaDB server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

You must install MariaDB server on your host system before installing or upgrading the Tiebreaker software. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or CentOS 7, Install MySQL Server.

Before you begin

Your host system must be running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.

Steps
  1. Log in as a root user.

    login as: root
    root@mcctb's password:
    Last login: Fri Jan  8 21:33:00 2017 from host.domain.com
  2. Install the MariaDB server:

Enable the autostart setting for the MariaDB server

You should verify that the autostart feature is turned on for the MariaDB server. If you do not enable the autostart feature, and the system on which the MetroCluster Tiebreaker software resides has to reboot, then the Tiebreaker software continues running, but the MariaDB service cannot be restarted and configuration changes cannot be made.

Steps
  1. Enable the autostart service:

    [root@mcctb ~]# systemctl enable mariadb.service

  2. Verify that MariaDB is enabled to autostart when booted:

    [root@mcctb ~]# systemctl list-unit-files mariadb.service

    UNIT FILE          State
    ------------------ ----------
    mariadb.service    enabled
