Starting a cluster¶
Gracefully shutting down all nodes destroys the cluster. Starting or restarting a cluster from zero nodes requires creating a new cluster on one of the nodes.
Start a new cluster on the most advanced node. Check the seqno value in the grastate.dat file on all of the nodes:
# ansible galera_container -m shell -a "cat /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat" node2_galera_container-49a47d25 | success | rc=0 >> # GALERA saved state version: 2.1 uuid: 338b06b0-2948-11e4-9d06-bef42f6c52f1 seqno: 31 cert_index: node3_galera_container-3ea2cbd3 | success | rc=0 >> # GALERA saved state version: 2.1 uuid: 338b06b0-2948-11e4-9d06-bef42f6c52f1 seqno: 31 cert_index: node4_galera_container-76275635 | success | rc=0 >> # GALERA saved state version: 2.1 uuid: 338b06b0-2948-11e4-9d06-bef42f6c52f1 seqno: 31 cert_index:
In this example, all nodes in the cluster contain the same positive seqno values as they were synchronized just prior to graceful shutdown. If all seqno values are equal, any node can start the new cluster.
# /etc/init.d/mysql start --wsrep-new-clusterThis command results in a cluster containing a single node. The wsrep_cluster_size value shows the number of nodes in the cluster.

Restart MariaDB on the other nodes and verify that they rejoin the cluster.
