Lab 4-B, Step 1. Create a new file named /var/lib/mysqlcluster/config.ini

Revision
In the Oracle University classrooms, it is crucial to remain a network connection
to the machines at all times. The original HA lab was unacceptable because it
asked the student to disconnect the system from the network. The following steps
are crucial to ensure that the students can simulate disconnecting the system from
the network.

1. Shut down the MySQL server.

shell> /etc/init.d/mysql stop

2. Create a virtual IP address that you will use during the labs in this course.
shell> /labs/start_virtual_ip.sh
3. View the details for the virtual IP that was created.
shell> ifconfig eth0:1

4. Write down the inet address for this virtual IP.

______________________________________________

5. Create a new file named /var/lib/mysqlcluster/config.ini.

shell> mkdir /var/lib/mysql-cluster
shell> vi /var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini

Lab 4-G, Step 1. Find a second machine, or find another student to work together
on this set of exercises

Revision
In this lab, two systems will be used to create a cluster. You will need to use the
virtual IP addresses for each of the systems used. It is important to use the eth0:1
