How to restart MariaDB Galera cluster?

After all node have been crashed I try to recover the cluster but without success. I have only 2 nodes.

As documentation says I set a parameter on one of the node:

set global wsrep_provider_options="pc.bootstrap=true";

And then try to start first node:

systemctl start mariadb

After that I get an error:

MariaDB Galera Cluster:
Solution 1:
1) I've changed safe_to_bootstrap parameter to 1 on one of the node in the file /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat:

safe_to_bootstrap: 1

2) After that I killed all mysql processes:

killall -KILL mysql mysqld_safe mysqld mysql-systemd

3) And started a new cluster:

galera_new_cluster

4) All other nodes I reconnected to the new one:

systemctl restart mariadb

P.S. to install killall on CentOS use psmisc:

sudo yum install psmisc

Solution 2:
Another way to restart a MariaDB Galera Cluster is to use --wsrep-new-cluster parameter.

1) Kill all mysql processes:

killall -KILL mysql mysqld_safe mysqld mysql-systemd

2) On the most up to date node start a new cluster:

/etc/init.d/mysql start --wsrep-new-cluster

3) Now other nodes can be connected:

service mysql start --wsrep_cluster_address="gcomm://192.168.0.101,192.168.0.102,192.168.0.103" \
--wsrep_cluster_name="my_cluster"

Percona XtraDB Cluster:
Solution 1:
In case you can connect to the most up to date node then you can setup the node to bootstrap with the next SQL:

SET GLOBAL wsrep_provider_options='pc.bootstrap=true';

Solution 2:
In case if all your nodes are dead and can not be started, you can stop the old one cluster and run a new one. You must stop all the cluster nodes because they have an information about old nodes in the old cluster.

1) Kill all the mysql processes on all nodes:

killall -KILL mysql mysqld_safe mysqld mysql-systemd

2) Start a new cluster on the most up to date node:

systemctl start mysql@bootstrap.service

3) Start other nodes:

systemctl start mysql

  • Thanks! Eventually went with --wsrep-new-cluster since I can pass it as a command to percona's docker container.

  1. You just need to check MariaDB is activating or deactivating mode or not using below comamnd

    systemctl status mariadb
    
  2. If you are unable to stop MariaDB then kill process of MariaDB

     ps -aux | grep -i mariadb
     kill -9 process_id
    
  3. If MariaDB not stopped yet, then you need to shutdown and start again. (Sometimes reboot not work in this case).

  4. After that you have to set safe_to_bootstrap=1 in /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat on one of your nodes.

  5. Next run below Galera command on that node

    galera_new_cluster
    
  6. Now you can check status of your node using below command.

    systemctl status mariadb
    
  7. If MariaDB is running now you can able to login using below command

    mysql -u root -p
    
  8. Next you check the Galera cluster size after login to your 1st node. You will see cluster size is 1. Because other node also not running because of that issue.

    show status like 'wsrep_cluster_size';
    
  9. Next start other node2 and node3 using below command

    systemctl start mariadb
    
  10. Now if you check from any node you will see cluster size is 3.

    show status like 'wsrep_cluster_size';

I think these steps will solve your problem.
