Cluste Upgrade 7.0.7 to 7.1.4b (1 reply)

Hello,

I will have to upgrade from 7.0.7 to 7.1.4b (on Solaris 10 x86) and do not want to miss a bit...


From reading, this seems to be straight forward, but the devil might be in the details.

What I will do:
- create a backup ;-)
- extracting the tar file to a directory
- changing the symlink to the new directory
- stop all cluster nodes, mysqld and manager processes
- start Manager
- start data Nodes
- start mysqld

Is stopping the hole system the best option to be save? ...or is it fine to
- stop both manager
- start both manager
- rolling restart of all mysqld
- rolling restart of all data nodes
in that order?


Do I only have to "ATER TABLE <tablename>" for each table to get the new functionalities (NDB-native default values)? Or what exact parameters do I have to apply? Do I need the 'SET DEFAULT' parameter for each default value to change this?


Is there a list of configuration parameters, worth to have a look, to get the most out of the new release? What do i definitivly have to chane in the confoguration?

Thank You.

Stefan




My System:
6 Data nodes, 3 node groups, on 6 systems
6 mysqld on the same systems
2 manager
2 mysqld on the managers
6 systems with the applications, connecting the 6 mysqld on the 6 data nodes
