Adding a New Node to Group Replication

Add New Member to Group Replication

Write MySQL commands to add a new server to an existing Group Replication.

Solution:

-- On the new server:
INSTALL PLUGIN group_replication SONAME 'group_replication.so';

-- Create replication user if not already done:
CREATE USER 'gr_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO 'gr_user'@'%';

-- Configure and start group replication:
SET GLOBAL group_replication_group_name="your_group_name";
SET GLOBAL group_replication_local_address= "ip_address:port";
SET GLOBAL group_replication_group_seeds= "ip1:port,ip2:port";
START GROUP_REPLICATION;
