Installing MogDB

Creating an XML Configuration File

Before installing MogDB, you need to create the XML file. The XML file contains the information about the server where MogDB is deployed, installation path, IP address, and port number. This file is used to guide how to deploy the MogDB. You need to configure the XML configuration file according to the actual deployment requirements.


Parameter description

Parameter Description
clusterName MogDB name.
nodeNames Host name in the MogDB.
backIp1s Intranet IP address of the host in the backend storage network. All the MogDB hosts communicate with each other on this network.
gaussdbAppPath Installation directory of the MogDB program. This directory must meet the following requirements:
- The disk space is greater than 1 GB.
- This directory is independent of other directories required by the database.
gaussdbLogPath Directory that stores run logs and operation logs of the MogDB. This directory must meet the following requirements:
- You are advised to plan the disk space based on the number of database nodes on the host. Reserve 1 GB space for database nodes and reserve redundant space.
- This directory is independent of other directories required by the MogDB.
This directory is optional. If the directory is not specified, $GAUSSLOG/installation uername will be specified as the log directory by default during MogDB installation.
tmpdbPath Directory for storing temporary database files.
If tmpdbPath is not set, the file is stored in /opt/mogdb/tools/perfadm_db by default.
gaussdbToolPath Directory for storing MogDB system tools. This directory is used to store tools for mutual trust. This directory must meet the following requirements:
- The disk space is greater than 100 MB.
- This directory cannot be changed and is independent of other directories required by the database.
This directory is optional. If this parameter is not specified, /opt/mogdb/tools is specified as the database system tool directory by default during MogDB installation.
corePath Directory for storing the MogDB core file.
clusterType MogDB type cluster type. This parameter is optional.
single-inst indicates the standalone cluster with one primary node and multiple standby nodes.

Downloading an Installation Package

Before installation, you can visit MogDB download page to download the installation package applicable to your current operating system and CPU. The following takes the CentOS system as an example. Each installation package and its functions are introduced in the following table.

Package Function
MogDB-x.x.x-CentOS-x86_64.tar Contains all files of all installation packages
MogDB-x.x.x-CentOS-64bit.tar.bz2 (Primary/Standby) MogDB primary/standby (Datanode).
Stores business data, performs data query tasks, and returns execution results to the client.
MogDB instances include primary instance and standby instance, currently supports at most one primary node and eight standby nodes. It is recommended to deploy the primary and standby MogDB instances on different physical servers.
MogDB-x.x.x-CentOS-64bit.sha256 Hash value of sha256 of MogDB-x.x.x-CentOS-64bit.tar.bz2

MogDB-x.x.x-CentOS-64bit-tools.tar.gz Client Driver.
Receives the access request from the application and returns the execution result to the application.
The client driver is used for communicating with the MogDB instance, sending application SQL commands, and receiving the execution results of the MogDB instance.
upgrade_sql.tar.gz SQL commands required for the upgrade
upgrade_sql.sha256 Hash value of sha256 of upgrade_sql.tar.gz

Initializing the Environment

This section takes the CentOS OS as an example to describe the environment initialization process.

Procedure

  1. Run the following command as user root to install the required environment dependency packages.

    yum install -y bzip2 libaio-devel flex bison ncurses-devel glibc-devel libxml2-devel patch redhat-lsb-core unzip gcc gcc-c++ perl openssl-devel libffi-devel libtool zlib-devel
  2. Log in to any host where the MogDB is to be installed as user root and create a directory for storing the installation package as planned.

    mkdir -p /opt/software/mogdb
    chmod 755 -R /opt/software
  3. Upload the software package MogDB-x.x.x-CentOS-x86_64.tar and the configuration file clusterconfig.xml to the created directory. If the configuration file is not created, run the vi clusterconfig.xml command to create and edit the configuration file.

    cd /opt/software/mogdb

    Note: In environments that allow access to external networks, the installation package can be downloaded directly via the wget command. For example:

    wget -c https://cdn-mogdb.enmotech.com/mogdb-media/2.1.1/MogDB-2.1.1-CentOS-x86_64.tar
  4. Go to the directory for storing the uploaded software package and decompress the following packages in sequence.

    tar -xvf  MogDB-x.x.x-CentOS-x86_64.tar
    tar -xvf  MogDB-x.x.x-CentOS-64bit-om.tar.gz
  5. Go to the directory for storing tool scripts.

    cd /opt/software/mogdb/script
  6. To ensure that the openssl version is correct, upload the lib library in the software package before pre-installation. Run the following command. {packagePath} indicates the directory where the software package is located. The value is /opt/software/mogdb in this example.

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH={packagePath}/script/gspylib/clib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  7. To ensure successful installation, run the following command to check whether the values of hostname and /etc/hostname are the same. During the pre-installation, hostname will be checked.

    hostname
    vi /etc/hostname
  8. If the openEuler OS is used, comment out sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=112640 &> /dev/null in the performance.sh file.

    vi /etc/profile.d/performance.sh
  9. Install python3 for the CentOS.

    Note: For standard installation in the CentOS system, you must install Python 3.6.x. Python of a higher version is not supported currently.

    wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.5/Python-3.6.5.tgz
    mkdir -p /usr/local/python3
    tar -zxvf Python-3.6.5.tgz
    cd Python-3.6.5
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python3 --enable-shared CFLAGS=-fPIC && make && make install
    ln -s /usr/local/python3/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python3
    ln -s /usr/local/python3/bin/pip3 /usr/bin/pip3

    Note:

    • If the error "zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available" is reported, run the yum -y install zlib* command and install again.

    • If an error similar to "find:'/run/user/1000/gvfs':Permission denied" is reported, it can be ignored.

Note:

  • During the running, the system will ask whether to create the user omm, you need to enter yes. Additionally, you need to enter related passwords and make sure that the password complexity requirement is met, including uppercase and lower case letters, characters, and digits, such as Enmo@123.

  • If an error similar to the following is displayed, the version of Python is high.

Note: During the installation, the user needs to enter the password of the database as prompted. The password must meet the complexity requirement. To ensure that the user can use the database normally, make note of the database password.


Connecting To MogDB

After installation, you can connect to MogDB by running gsql -d postgres -p 26000 -r under the omm user, where -p 26000 is the database port number. You need to replace it according to the actual situation. Additionally, you can run the \copyright command to check the copyright information.

[omm@ecs-saving-0006 ~]$ gsql -d postgres -p 26000 -r
gsql ((MogDB x.x.x build 56189e20) compiled at 2022-01-07 18:47:53 commit 0 last mr  )
Non-SSL connection (SSL connection is recommended when requiring high-security)
Type "help" for help.

Modifying the Synchronous Node

By default, the standby database is an asynchronous database. If you need to configure it as a synchronous database, configure it as follows:

[omm@ecs-saving-0006 ~]$ sed -i "/synchronous_standby_names/synchronous_standby_names = 'dn_6002'" /gaussdb/data/db1/postgresql.conf
[omm@ecs-saving-0006 ~]$ gs_om -t restart

The value dn_6002 is special, which is fixed. It is dn_6001 for the primary database, dn_6002 for the first standby database, and dn_6003 for the second standby database in sequence.

'dn_6002,dn_6003' indicates that the first and second standby databases are synchronous databases.

The data storing directory needs to be replaced as required.
