Incorrect definition of table mysql.db

I’m seing these messages on one my 2 nodes but there’s no binary logs on that node.

My database was restored from mysqldump --all-database of MariaDB 10.0

percona-xtradb-cluster-5.6
Version: 5.6.22-25.8-978.trusty

when I tried to restore db & event table for database mysql (mysqldump from a percona xtradb cluster node with same version), below messages appeared on another node where restoration did not take place

Make sure you’re always using the same version of Xtrabackup and XtraDB Cluster components.

1-) There are many differences between Percona Server and MariaDB and this is what the MySQL is now complaining about. Are you able to restore the db and event tables from another Percona Server? Take care about the data it contains…

2-) MySQL is complaining at the end that the tables db and event do not exists. Can you check on the file system if tables db and event files are there? Remember that all the mysql system database tables are MyISAM (3 files, frm, myi, myd).

Cheers,

  1. post #2 are output during restore of mysql db table & mysql event table. Just realized it shutsdown after restoring those tables

  2. on node 2

on node 1

mysql> use mysql;
ERROR 1047 (08S01): Unknown command

it seems on both nodes I installed percona-xtrabackup 2.2.10-1.trusty & percona-xtradb-cluster-galera-3.x 3.9.3494.trusty

after purged and re-installed of node 1, I bootstrap it, then let node 2 join the cluster, there’s no more db & event table not exist error.

FYI, I’m using rsync sst method.
