I recently presented a webcast hosted by O’Reilly and Webex. In it I take you on a step-by-step installation of DRBD and MySQL. I start by using Sun’s Virtualbox to create to virtual machines running CentOS. I then explain how to configure them with virtual external drives to use for DRBD. I next configure the network interfaces to support routed packets into and out of the boxes. Then I install various packages with yum, configure drbd and finally install MySQL as the last step. You can follow along at the command line and do it yourself on a Windows, Mac or Linux box.

webcast – DRBD and MySQL
Nov 24
I’ve teamed up with O’Reilly once again to do another webcast this coming January. In it, I’ll provide a step-by-step live tutorial of setting up DRBD with MySQL on a couple of virtual servers. After the live demo there will be time for Q&A as well, so hope you all can tune in.
I recently did a webcast for O’Reilly and Associates on MySQL Clustering Setup and configuration.
My O’Reilly webcast is now online at youtube. Comments welcome!
Webcast: MySQL Replication
Jan 18
MySQL Replication is fairly simple to setup for the first time. However over time maintenance can become troublesome. At times errors show up in the error logs, or it can stop running altogether. In fact MySQL Replication can fail in a much more insidious way, that is silently. So what to do?
As it turns out there are specific reasons and causes for MySQL replication to get out of sync. We’ll discuss what is and isn’t compliant in a MySQL Replicated environment, and then most importantly, we’ll discuss a tool that can help you verify your environment, and show you what is or isn’t in sync and why.
I’m presenting this webcast with O’Reilly on Thursday January 22. If you’re interested, click here to register.
