MySQL - Overview of High Availability & Replication

(Answer all questions in this section)

1.When newly implementing GTIDs on a MySQL 5.6 replication setup that is Mark for Review
currently in use, which steps need to be done - sequence isn't part of the (2) Points
question. (select all that apply)

(Choose all correct answers)

On the slave(s) adjust replication to use auto-positioning (*)

Before starting, test with the appropriate configuration that transactions

are safe for GTID usage (*)

Stop all the servers, then start them with GTIDs enabled, read_only
engaged and slaves setup to not start automatically (*)

Put all replication nodes into read_only mode (*)

Correct: All of these steps are involved in implementing GTIDs on an

existing replication system that is still only using binary log coordinates.
For a new setup that is configured to use GTIDs from the beginning, this
extra effort isn't needed. Also, for MySQL 5.7 the replication cluster can
phase in the usage of GTIDs without a full outage occurring.

2.What is the most basic HA solution with failover support with the least data Mark for Review
loss? (1) Points

Replication using GTIDs (*)

Fabric

Restore from backups to alternate site

MySQL Cluster CGE

 Incorrect: Replication with GTIDs is the most basic solution and failover
support is provided through our replication utilities as they use GTIDs.
Both Fabric and MySQL Cluster have more sophisticated setups
surrounding them which are not basic. Restoring from backups to an off-
site location can incur hours of data loss if binary logs are not regularly
copied off-site, plus the restore can be complex. Although restoring from
backups could meet RTO/RPO objectives, it is not suited as an answer to
this question as more data loss is likely to occur than a typical HA
solution.

3.Name the 2 log files required when using replication. Mark for Review
(1) Points

The binary log and relay log (*)

The binary log and general log

The slow query log and general log

The audit log and binary log

Correct: The binary log is required on the master as this is where all
transactions land. The relay log is required on the slave and is
automatically created upon a slave start process. The relay log is the
recipient of the master server's binary log entries and holds them until
they are applied on the slave. The slow query log, general log and audit
log have no relevant role for replication, but provide other uses for the
server when and if enabled.

MySQL Enterprise Monitor Demo

(Answer all questions in this section)

4.Choose the answers that represent benefits of the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Mark for Review
features (select all that apply), (2) Points
 (Choose all correct answers)

The performance graphs enable quick visual understanding of how a

system is performing (*)

The Enterprise Backup tool is not exposed on the monitor, and therefore
doesn't apply

Agent-based monitoring will allow the server's OS and filesystem to be

monitored as well (*)

The query analyzer can easily highlight the most expensive queries when
its collecting query data (*)

Correct: The MySQL Enterprise Backup utility is definitely captured on

this monitoring platform. All the other answers are true. Graphs,
collection of OS metrics and the Query Analyzer provide beneficial uses
of this monitor.

5.A company has 2 network zones. Zone-A contains a MySQL Instance that Mark for Review
needs monitoring and that zone can send network traffic out to Zone-B. Zone- (2) Points
B contains a MEM Service Manager, but can't send network traffic out to
Zone-A. This means the Service Manager itself can't contact the MySQL
instance. What is required to allow the monitoring of this MySQL instance by
the Service Manager?

You can configure a "remotely monitored" setup from the Service

Manager direct to the MySQL instance to configure this monitoring setup

You can install an agent in Zone-B where the Service Manager is located,
and use that agent to monitor the MySQL instance in Zone-A

You can install an Agent in Zone-A where the MySQL instance is located
and configure the agent to point to the Service Manager so monitoring
can be done. (*)

You can configure a MySQL Fabric setup from the Service Manager direct
to the MySQL instance to configure this monitoring setup
 Correct: The correct answer is option 3. The scenario here shows that in
the case of a network setup where traffic is restricted in this manner, an
agent can be used pass the data to the monitor, thus abiding by the
network rules, but enabling the monitor to work. DMZ setups or PCI-
related zones may have designs like this, or other highly secured spaces.
So agent installations can be very valuable in these cases. As noted a
Service Manager or Agent installed in Zone-B is restricted from
connecting to Zone-A, therefore neither of those options would work.
