How to test MySQL dual-machine hot backup?
To test the reliability and stability of MySQL dual-machine hot backup, you can follow the steps below:
- First, ensure that the dual machine hot backup is correctly configured and running, including the configuration and synchronization settings of the primary and backup servers.
- Start the backup server to ensure it can connect to the main server correctly and sync data.
- Perform some CRUD operations on the primary server to ensure that the data synchronizes correctly to the backup server.
- Simulate the failure of the main server by stopping the MySQL service or shutting down the main server directly.
- Observe whether the backup server can automatically take over the main server’s work and ensure that data synchronization is functioning properly.
- Restore the main server and verify if data synchronization has been restored successfully.
- Repeat the above steps until the reliability and stability of the hot backup system is confirmed.
By following the testing steps above, the reliability and stability of MySQL dual-server hot backup can be verified, ensuring that the backup server can correctly take over in the event of a primary server failure and maintain data integrity.
