I currently have a MySQL server that I connect to via ODBC.
I am looking into setting up a cluster.
If I have say 2 SQL nodes, and 2 management nodes, when I set up my ODBC I have to specify my server IP address. Do I set it to the SQL node, or the mngt node? Assuming the SQL node, then to which one of the two? If the one I set it to goes down, how do I check for this, and get my program to look at the other node? How is this done automatically?
