lol... How many large databases have you managed? Once evicted, MySQL will be restarted by Pacemaker so all the caches will be cold. On a 128GB db server with an InnoDB buffer pool of >100 GB, warming the cache takes hours and during that time the db is much slower. Since the slave has been evicted because it was lagging, restarting it will not help at all.

Yves

Why's evicted terrible? It optional and simply removes the slave node from the cluster if it's lagging too far behind the master. The collocation IP can float to another slave in the cluster or go offline. I thought that's what you're looking for. I can post a config if you're interested.

Hi,
Setting evict_outdated_slaves is terrible but then how do you remove the read VIPs from slaves that are outdated. If there is a way to do it, tell me :) I am always open to do things in a simpler way. This solution works without evicting outdated slaves. The current mysql RA does behave correctly HA wise but it is less than optimal database wise. I mean in small installations it is probably ok, but at Percona, I hit many high end installations where the current behavior is not adequate. I consider myself more as a database specialist than an HA one so I may be more sensitive to these problems.

Yves

    Because that's not enough, if a slave lags behind too much, I
    want to remove the vip but not stop the slave.

    Why don't you simply colocate VIP's with the master/slave roles?

        Hi,
          I created a fork of the resource-agents and modified the
        mysql RA to supports VIP.  The support for read/write VIPs
        is something that currently limits the use of pacemaker to
        manage mysql replication.  I ran some basic tests on the
        modified agent and it seems behaving sanely so far but more
        tests will be needed (next week).  I also modified a few
        things in the RA that were not optimal in my view.   Here's
        the URL for my fork:

        git://github.com/y-trudeau/resource-agents.git
        <http://github.com/y-trudeau/resource-agents.git>
        https://y-trud...@github.com/y-trudeau/resource-agents.git

        In order to use it, you need to adapt the pacemaker
        configuration, here's the one I am using:

        http://pastebin.com/QPJPWDhx

        Next, apart from running more tests,  I want to do the
        following:

        - review user privileges used, need to lower the ones of
        replication_user
        - add support for MHA
         (http://code.google.com/p/mysql-master-ha/)
        - run a beautifier for more uniformity in style

        Reviews and comments are of course welcome.

        Regards,

        Yves
