MySQL Active - Active Clustering
Tue, 2007-03-13 12:06 — Shinguz
It is possible to use an active - active shared-disk cluster in MySQL in some cases. For doing this you have to fulfill the following requirements:
- Works with MyISAM tables only.
- POSIX-locking compliant cluster file system on the device (such as OCFS2 or GFS).
- External locking must be enabled.
- The MySQL query cache must be turned off.
- The MySQL delay key write must be turned off.
- OS where file locking is supported in MySQL.

- A very interesting comment from Peter Zaitsev you MUST read. He comments, why this set up you should NOT use: MySQL MyISAM Active Active Clustering - looking for trouble?
And I do fully agree with him, that in 99% of all use cases this set up is not the right choice (and do not believe yours is the 1% :-))! - The MySQL architecture stack
