To upgrade the instances in an InnoDB ReplicaSet, complete the following steps:
Check the versions of the installed binaries:
mysqlrouter --version: Checks the version of MySQL Router installed.
mysqlsh --version: Checks the version of MySQL Shell installed.
mysqld --version: Checks the version of MySQL Server installed.
To upgrade MySQL Router, complete the following steps:
-
Stop MySQL Router.
On a Unix system, if you used the optional
--directory
bootstrap option, a self-contained installation is created with all generated directories and files at the location you selected when you bootstrapped the router. These files includestop.sh
. Navigate to this directory and issue this command:./stop.sh
On Microsoft Windows, if you used the optional
--directory
bootstrap option, a self-contained installation is created with all generated directories and files at the location you selected when you bootstrapped the router. These files includestop.ps1
. Navigate to this directory and issue this command:.\stop.ps1
Or on a Linux system using
systemd
, stop the MySQL Router service by issuing:systemctl stop mysqlrouter.service
Otherwise, kill the process ID (PID) of the associated mysqlrouter process.
Obtain and install the latest version of MySQL Router.
-
Start MySQL Router.
On a Unix system, if you used the optional -
-directory
bootstrap option, a self-contained installation is created with all generated directories and files at the location you selected. These files includestart.sh
. Navigate to the directory and issue this command:./start.sh
If the path to the new router has changed, you must update the
start.sh
shell script to reflect the path.#!/bin/bash basedir=/tmp/myrouter ROUTER_PID=$basedir/mysqlrouter.pid /usr/bin/mysqlrouter -c $basedir/mysqlrouter.conf & disown %-
If you upgrade MySQL Router manually, opposed to using package management, you can update the
basedir=
. Bootstrapping the router again also regenerates thestart.sh
shell script.Or on a Linux system using
systemd
, start the MySQL Router service by issuing:systemctl start mysqlrouter.service
On Microsoft Windows, if you used the optional -
-directory
bootstrap option, a self-contained installation is created with all generated directories and files at the location you selected. These files includestart.ps1
. Navigate to the directory and issue this command:.\start.ps1
On starting MySQL Router using the new router binaries, the version of the router is upgraded:
mysqlrouter --version
Upgrade MySQL Shell by installing the new binaries, and stopping and starting MySQL Shell:
Obtain and install the latest version of MySQL Shell.
-
Stop and quit MySQL Shell by issuing:
\q
-
Restart MySQL Shell from the command line, by issuing:
mysqlsh
-
Upgrade the InnoDB ReplicaSet Metadata:
-
To upgrade an InnoDB ReplicaSet, connect MySQL Shell's global session to your ReplicaSet and use the
dba.upgradeMetadata()
operation to upgrade the ReplicaSet's metadata to the new metadata.The
dba.upgradeMetadata()
function compares the version of the installed metadata schema with the version of the metadata schema supported by this Shell. If the installed metadata version is lower, an upgrade process is started.
Metadata UpgradeThe Metadata Upgrade may do nothing if the ReplicaSet already uses the latest version.
-
Upgrade MySQL Server by upgrading all secondary instances before upgrading the primary instance.
Upgrading MySQL Server is optional. Server upgrades can have a greater impact than upgrading MySQL Shell and MySQL Router. Also, you should always keep MySQL Shell and MySQL Router at the latest version, even if the server is not; this is true for InnoDB Clusters and ReplicaSets.
-
Stop MySQL Server by issuing one of the following commands:
-
If MySQL Server is using systemd issue:
systemctl stop mysqld
-
If MySQL Server is using init.d issue:
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
-
If MySQL Server is using service issue:
service mysql stop
-
If you deployed MySQL Server on Microsoft Windows issue:
mysqladmin -u root -p shutdown
-
Obtain and install the latest version of MySQL Server.
-
Start MySQL Server by issuing one of the following commands:
-
If MySQL Server is using systemd issue:
systemctl start mysqld
-
If MySQL Server is using init.d issue:
/etc/init.d/mysql start
-
If MySQL Server is using service issue:
service mysql start
-
If you deployed MySQL Server on Microsoft Windows issue:
mysqld
-
-
When you have upgraded all the secondary instances, upgrade the primary instance to complete the upgrade process.
There is no automatic primary switching in InnoDB ReplicaSet. You need to set the primary instance to a member you have upgraded already before upgrading the primary instance.
Set an upgraded secondary instance to be the primary instance:
<ReplicaSet>.setPrimaryInstance('<host>:<port>')
Use the
<ReplicaSet>.setPrimaryInstance()
operation to safely perform a change of the primary of a ReplicaSet to another instance. The current primary is demoted to a secondary and made read-only, while the promoted instance becomes the new primary and is made read-write. All other secondary instances are updated to replicate from the new primary. MySQL Router instances that you have bootstrapped against the ReplicaSet automatically start redirecting read-write clients to the new primary.Upgrade the
old
primary instance. Once upgraded, you can use<ReplicaSet>.setPrimaryInstance()
to restore this upgraded instance back to being primary. For more information, see Section 9.6, “Changing the Primary Instance”.
After upgrading MySQL Router, MySQL Shell, and MySQL Servers are upgraded:
-
Check the status of the ReplicaSet by issuing
<ReplicaSet>.status()
. In the following example,<ReplicaSet>.status()
returns aninstanceErrors
:mysqlsh> <ReplicaSet>.status(); { "replicaSet": { "name": "myReplicaSet", "primary": "example-el7-1644251369:30014", "status": "AVAILABLE", "statusText": "All instances available.", "topology": { "example-el7-1644251369:30011": { "address": "example-el7-1644251369:30011", "instanceErrors": [ "NOTE: The required parallel-appliers settings are not enabled on the instance.

The
instanceError

to fix the error.dba.configureReplicaSetInstance(
configures each instance you want to use in the ReplicaSet. MySQL Shell can either connect to an instance and then configure it, or you can pass in aninstance
