Hi, thank you for your reply. What is the correct order for this step? For example: 1) shutdown node 1 2) change config to xtrabackup-v2 on node 1 3) restart node 1? 4) shutdown node 2 5) change config to xtrabackup-v2 on node 2 6) restart node 2 ..and what about garbd on the third node? :) Thank you very much ----Messaggio originale---- Da: nirbhay@mariadb.com Data: 17/02/2015 14.22 A: "absolutely_free@libero.it"<absolutely_free@libero.it> Cc: "MariaDB discuss"<maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net> Ogg: Re: [Maria-discuss] Switch from rsync to xtrabackup Hi!

Now I'm using rsync method, I would like to switch to xtrabackup to avoid "lock" issue. Is it possible? Yes, the lock is taken only for syncing system tables. Should I simply install percona package and change this configuration? Right, the package name is "percona-xtrabackup". wsrep_sst_method=rsync to wsrep_sst_method=xtrabackup ? Or rather go for "xtrabackup-v2".https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/galera-cluster-system-variables/#wsrep_sst... SST methods other than "rsync" also require "wsrep_sst_auth" variables to be set.https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/galera-cluster-system-variables/#wsrep_sst...
