Mysql – Add database to existing MySQL master-master replication which uses binlog_do_db

Are you using InnoDB? Xtrabackup will allow you to do "hot" or "online" copies of your running master.

Propagate the backup made via xtrabackup to the slave. There is no need to disrupt the relay (blackhole) server, just add the extra tables to be replicated to the relay server config before you "START SLAVE" on your slave.

Going by your question, I will like to review what I believe you did thus far:

• You stopped mysql on the Master
• You copied Master's /var/lib/mysql to the Slave's /var/lib/mysql
• I surmise the binlogs on the Master were copied as well

Look at the Slave's last binlog. From the question, it should be

• mydbm1-bin.008524
• Filesize 1330529

Believe it or not, you have to do a few things:

1) On the Master, create a replication user like this:

GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE,REPLICATION CLIENT
ON *.* TO replicator@'%'
IDENTIFIED BY 'r3plic4t0R';

2) Make /var/lib/mysql on the Slave owned by mysql user

chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql

3) Make sure Master's server_id is explicitly set in my.cnf

[mysqld]
server_id = 1

4) Make sure Slave's server_id is explicitly set in my.cnf

[mysqld]
server_id = 2

5) Startup mysql on the Slave

service mysql start

6) Setup replication by running this on the Slave

CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_HOST='IPAddressOfMaster',
MASTER_PORT=3306,
MASTER_USER='replicator',
MASTER_PASSWORD='r3plic4t0R',
MASTER_LOG_FILE='mydbm1-bin.008524',
MASTER_LOG_POS=1330529;
START SLAVE;
SELECT SLEEP(5);
SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G

You will see something like this:

mysql> show slave status\G

I already answered a post back on Feb 06, 2012 ( How to setup replication(Master/slave) in MySQL 5.5.20? ) with essentially the same steps.

I wanted to add additional posts I made for setting up Circular Replication should you decide to setup the two DB servers as Master/Master
