Step 1: Install MariaDB Enterprise Server

Overview

This page details step 1 of the 7-step procedure "Deploy Primary/Replica Topology".

This step installs MariaDB Enterprise Server

The Primary/Replica topology requires 3 or more MariaDB Enterprise Server nodes for High Availability (HA). Nodes must meet requirements.

Interactive commands are detailed. Alternatively, the described operations can be performed using automation.

Retrieve Download Token

MariaDB Corporation provides package repositories for CentOS / RHEL (YUM) and Debian / Ubuntu (APT). A download token is required to access the MariaDB Enterprise Repository.

Customer Download Tokens are customer-specific and are available through the MariaDB Customer Portal.

To retrieve the token for your account:

1. Navigate to https://customers.mariadb.com/downloads/token/

2. Log in.

3. Copy the Customer Download Token.

Substitute your token for CUSTOMER_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN when configuring the package repositories.

Set Up Repository

1. On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, install the prerequisites for downloading the software from the Web. Install on CentOS / RHEL (YUM):

$ sudo yum install curl

Install on Debian / Ubuntu (APT):

$ sudo apt install curl apt-transport-https

2. On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, configure package repositories and specify Enterprise Server:

$ curl -LsSO https://dlm.mariadb.com/enterprise-release-helpers/mariadb_es_repo_setup
$ echo "99ea6c55dbf32bfc42cdcd05c892aebc5e51b06f4c72ec209031639d6e7db9fe  mariadb_es_repo_setup" \
       | sha256sum -c -
$ chmod +x mariadb_es_repo_setup
$ sudo ./mariadb_es_repo_setup --token="CUSTOMER_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN" --apply \
      --skip-maxscale \
      --skip-tools \
      --mariadb-server-version="11.4"

Install Enterprise Server

1. On each Enterprise Cluster node, install MariaDB Enterprise Server and MariaDB Enterprise Backup.

Install via CentOS / RHEL (YUM):

$ sudo yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-backup

Install via Debian / Ubuntu (APT):

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-backup

Install via SLES (ZYpp):

$ sudo zypper install MariaDB-server MariaDB-backup
