Hello team- Quick question- I recently just installed mariaDB 10.1.18 (via apt-get) and all went well, no issues.. Here is my galera.cnf file: cat galera.cnf [mysqld] binlog_format = ROW default_storage_engine = InnoDB innodb_autoinc_lock_mode = 2 innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog = 1 wsrep_on = ON wsrep_causal_reads = ON wsrep_cluster_address = gcomm://10.10.10.104,10.10.13.2 wsrep_cluster_name = soho_cluster wsrep_node_address = 10.10.10.104 wsrep_provider = /usr/lib/galera/libgalera_smm.so wsrep_provider_options = "gcache.size=512M" wsrep_slave_threads = 4 # Should be equal to the number of cpu-cores. wsrep_sst_auth = "sstuser:r3pl1c@t3" #wsrep_sst_method = xtrabackup-v2 wsrep_sst_method = rsync I started the server as: galera_new_cluster and see no errors. Syslog reports mariaDB has started. However, I never see any messages with WSREP. the database stat shows: mysql -u root -p -e "show status like 'wsrep%'" Enter password: +--------------------------+----------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+----------------------+ | wsrep_cluster_conf_id | 18446744073709551615 | | wsrep_cluster_size | 0 | | wsrep_cluster_state_uuid | | | wsrep_cluster_status | Disconnected | | wsrep_connected | OFF | | wsrep_local_bf_aborts | 0 | | wsrep_local_index | 4294967295 | | wsrep_provider_name | | | wsrep_provider_vendor | | | wsrep_provider_version | | | wsrep_ready | OFF | | wsrep_thread_count | 0 | +--------------------------+----------------------+ The wsrep always shows OFF. I have removed and purged any and all mysql, mysql-server etc three times and get the same result. Is there something I am missing? Thank you!
