Hi,

I have installed PXC 8.0 on 2 nodes (Ubuntu 20). After sufficient configuration to my.cnf file I am trying to bootstrap Node 1 as below:

systemctl start mysql@bootstrap.service

The command stuck for 1-2 mins and while looking into logs from another terminal it shows that node is now synced and ready for connection. But after 2-3 mins the command gets failed with below error:

Job for mysql@bootstrap.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.

See “systemctl status mysql@bootstrap.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

And log shows “Received shutdown signal” and then it shutdown completely.

I tried disabling MySQL Apparmor profile also, but no luck. I am not getting where is the issue.

Please help!

Below is the status check for failed service command:

systemctl status mysql@bootstrap.service

- mysql@bootstrap.service - Percona XtraDB Cluster with config /etc/default/mysql.bootstrap

Hello,

I had similar issues while I was testing the cluster on LXC.

check the configuration variables in _/etc/mysql/my.cnf_ -

- _wsrep\_node\_address, wsrep\_cluster\_name, wsrep\_node\_name_
- check if the machines are reachable to each other

check the listening IP/port of the nodes (_netstat -apn_, for example) and its reachability machine \<-\> machine (use telnet

- for example)

if you are testing on LXC/LXD, please try to set security nesting to containers (on LXDlxc config set sql5 security.nesting true

- and restart the containers)

If it is was not helpful, can you please post full /etc/mysql/my.cnf and the output of cat /var/log/mysql/error.log?

Regards,

Martin
