install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.15: version `libmysqlclient_15' not found (required by /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so) at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

After a lot of mucking around I noticed that the MySQL-shared-community RPM was installed, not the MySQL-shared-compat RPM like my usual installs. So…


rpm -Uvh MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.33-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

2008/12/17 by admin in Backups, Monolith Toolkit, Scripts | Leave a comment

The Monolith Toolkit of scripts for DBA routines. 0.4.3 has been released. You can download it here: http://code.google.com/p/monolith-toolkit/

Some information on the toolkit and what it contains:

  • mt-backup-parallel -> runs mysql backups in parallel super fast, has lots of reporting features
  • mt-check-replication -> script to report on replication status for slave servers
  • mt-rhcluster-check-filesystems -> reports on redhat cluster filesystems (for mysql active/passive clustering)
  • mt-rhcluster-script-wrapper -> wrapper script for running any of these scripts on a redhat cluster, chooses the active node to run the script on
  • mt-connections-log -> logs connections to mysql to disk, reports on threshold overages
  • mt-flush-tables-sequence -> runs through schema.tables to flush in sequence before global flush
  • mt-rotate-logs -> rotates general and slow query logs on periodic basis
  • mt-my.cnf_xG -> MySQL configuration file for a particular RAM size installation

Changes for this release:

  • Fixed the cnf files error that specified G instead of M for tmp table size and max_heap_table_size.
  • Fixed the parallel backup script pruning command. Uses system rm instead of UNLINK.
  • Fixed the default number of forks to create for parallel backup so we don’t overload the server.

Seeking volunteer test machines for Monolith

2008/12/05 by admin in Monitoring, Monolith, MySQL Server | 3 Comments

Monolith: MySQL server monitoring. I only have servers that run Redhat/Debian/Ubuntu Linux x86 and x86_64. I don’t have machines to test MySQL monitoring for the following OSes. Perhaps you would like to be a test candidate for the new version of Monolith? If so, let me know and you’ll be on the list, as well as get beta testing credit.

OSX Server: PPC and Intel

AIX

FreeBSD / OpenBSD / NetBSD

Windows Server

Solaris: Intel & Sparc

Linux servers that are NOT Intel based.

What this involves: testing the client script, perl modules, snmp stats, and other functions that may require a custom client script for that architecture.
