These are some notes while upgrading my ESXi homelab server.
Check current version/build number
[nstah@kumala:~] vmware -v
VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-14320388
Download ESXi update file at VMweare Customer Connect, then upload it to VM host storage I'm trying to update using October 2022 Patch, ESXi670-202210001 - Build 20497097.
Specification
Linux1: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
IP: 10.1.1.10
Linux2: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
IP: 10.1.1.20
MariaDB: 10.1.48-MariaDB
Install MariaDB
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
Stop MariaDB
sudo systemctl stop mariadb.service
Edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf parameter file.
sudo vim.tiny /etc/mysql/my.cnf
linux1 (10.1.1.10)
[mysqld]
bind-address = 10.1.1.10
server_id = 10
report_host = linux1
log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mariadb-bin
log_bin_index = /var/log/mysql/mariadb-bin.index
relay_log = /var/log/mysql/relay-bin
relay_log_index = /var/log/mysql/relay-bin.index
replicate-do-db = testdb
auto_increment_increment = 5
auto_increment_offset = 1
linux2 (10.1.1.20)
[mysqld]
bind-address = 10.1.1.20
server_id = 20
report_host = linux2
log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mariadb-bin
log_bin_index = /var/log/mysql/mariadb-bin.index
relay_log = /var/log/mysql/relay-bin
relay_log_index = /var/log/mysql/relay-bin.index
replicate-do-db = testdb
auto_increment_increment = 5
auto_increment_offset = 1
Note: replicate-do-db to specify which databases to replicate (optional)
Start MariaDB
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
Create user in both server that will be used for replicating data between servers and grant privileges.
sudo mysql -u root -p
MariaDB [(none)]> create user 'replusr'@'%' identified by 'replusr';
MariaDB [(none)]> grant replication slave on *.* to 'replusr'@'%';
Verify listener bind-address and port
e.g.: in linux1
sudo netstat -ntpl | grep mysql
tcp 0 0 10.1.1.10:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1895/mysqld
Start replication in linux1
sudo mysql -u root -p
For MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS use "show master status" information from in linux2.
Show master status linux2
MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW MASTER STATUS;
+--------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| File | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB |
+--------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| mariadb-bin.000004 | 329 | | |
+--------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
MariaDB [(none)]> STOP SLAVE;
MariaDB [(none)]> CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='10.1.1.20', MASTER_USER='replusr', MASTER_PASSWORD='replusr', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mariadb-bin.000004', MASTER_LOG_POS=329;
MariaDB [(none)]> START SLAVE;
Check slave status in linux1
MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G;
====================
Start replication in linux2
For MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS use "show master status" information from in linux1.
Show master status linux1

MariaDB [(none)]> START SLAVE;
Check slave status in linux2
MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G;
If everything is OK, it should shown as below
MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G;

If we check on linux2 it should shown the same result and we can also test the same thing on linux2 by add another user on table users

You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
