Installing a management node

In this recipe, we will be using the RedHat Package Manager (RPM) files provided by MySQL to install a management node on a CentOS 5.3 Linux server. We will be using a x86_64 or 64-bit operating system. However, there is no practical difference between 64-bit and the 32-bit binaries for installation.

At the end of this recipe, you will have a management node installed and ready to start. In the next recipe, we will start the management node, as a running management node is required to check that your storage and SQL nodes start correctly in later recipes.

How to do it…

All files for MySQL Cluster for RedHat and CentOS 5 can be found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 RPM section from the download page at http://dev.mysql.com ...
