Hi Sharad,

Thanks for your contribution into my work.

Your input assisted me in setting up my first NDB Cluster Installation; with
1MGMD node, 4 NDBD nodes, 1 API node on a single machine (64 bit AMD opteron).

Now, I would like to move two of my NDBD nodes in the cluster to another
computer on the same network. This is my understanding of what I need to do:

1) Edit the config file, for 2 DB nodes to be moved to another computer. Specify
the location or Domain name of the computer 2) Go to the additional computer and Create the directory for the ndbd nodes to
log data to disk.

I am not sure whether or not I have to install the MySQL-4.1.9 on the
additional computer

Please can you help vet this approach and correct me wherever necessary.

Also,

I have tried to connect the MySQLD installation on another computer to the
cluster. The following is the steps I have taken 1)Installed the MySQL -4.1.9 on the additional machine 2)Enabled it for ndbcluster support from the my.cnf file 3)Specified the name of the computer hosting the mgmd server

After starting the MySQLD successfully, I checked the cluster (using mgm
program) to see if this additional api connected but there was no connection.

Please could you point to me what I did wrongly or yet to do.

I will appreciate your quick response

Thanks

Hi Cogi

I was amazed to see that the mail was specifically directed only to me. Anyways, I will suggest you try the mysql-4.1.5-gamma.tar.gz for installation. Plz dont forget to use the --with-ndbcluster flag while configuring.

After that, use the instructions on the site. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Quick_install.html and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/MySQL_Cluster_installing.html

Plz post the config.ini file and specific error that you get while setting the simple cluster.

HTH
