Galera cluster recovery
-----------------------
When one or all nodes fail within a galera cluster you may need to
re-bootstrap the environment. To make take advantage of the
automation Ansible provides simply execute the ``galera-install.yml``
play using the **galera-bootstrap** to auto recover a node or an
entire environment.
#. Run the following Ansible command to show the failed nodes:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# openstack-ansible galera-install.yml --tags galera-bootstrap
Upon completion of this command the cluster should be back online an in
a functional state.
Single-node failure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a single node fails, the other nodes maintain quorum and continue to
process SQL requests.
#. Run the following Ansible command to determine the failed node:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# ansible galera_container -m shell -a "mysql -h localhost \
-e 'show status like \"%wsrep_cluster_%\";'"

In this example, node 3 has failed.
#. Restart MariaDB on the failed node and verify that it rejoins the
cluster.
#. If MariaDB fails to start, run the **mysqld** command and perform
further analysis on the output. As a last resort, rebuild the
container for the node.
Multi-node failure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When all but one node fails, the remaining node cannot achieve quorum
and stops processing SQL requests. In this situation, failed nodes that
recover cannot join the cluster because it no longer exists.
#. Run the following Ansible command to show the failed nodes:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# ansible galera_container -m shell -a "mysql \
-h localhost -e 'show status like \"%wsrep_cluster_%\";'"

In this example, nodes 2 and 3 have failed. The remaining operational
server indicates ``non-Primary`` because it cannot achieve quorum.

the operational node into the cluster.

Complete failure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If all of the nodes in a Galera cluster fail (do not shutdown
gracefully), then the integrity of the database can no longer be
guaranteed and should be restored from backup. Run the following command
to determine if all nodes in the cluster have failed:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# ansible galera_container -m shell -a "cat /var/lib/mysql/grastate.dat"
node3_galera_container-3ea2cbd3 | success | rc=0 >>
# GALERA saved state
version: 2.1
uuid: 338b06b0-2948-11e4-9d06-bef42f6c52f1
seqno: -1
cert_index:

# GALERA saved state

seqno: -1
cert_index:
All the nodes have failed if ``mysqld`` is not running on any of the
nodes and all of the nodes contain a ``seqno`` value of -1.
If any single node has a positive ``seqno`` value, then that node can be
used to restart the cluster. However, because there is no guarantee that
each node has an identical copy of the data, it is not recommended to
restart the cluster using the **--wsrep-new-cluster** command on one
node.
Rebuilding a container
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes recovering from a failure requires rebuilding one or more
containers.
#. Disable the failed node on the load balancer.
Do not rely on the load balancer health checks to disable the node.
If the node is not disabled, the load balancer will send SQL requests
to it before it rejoins the cluster and cause data inconsistencies.
#. Use the following commands to destroy the container and remove
MariaDB data stored outside of the container. In this example, node 3
failed.
.. code-block:: shell-session
# lxc-stop -n node3_galera_container-3ea2cbd3
# lxc-destroy -n node3_galera_container-3ea2cbd3
# rm -rf /openstack/node3_galera_container-3ea2cbd3/*
#. Run the host setup playbook to rebuild the container specifically on
node 3:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# openstack-ansible setup-hosts.yml -l node3 \
-l node3_galera_container-3ea2cbd3
The playbook will also restart all other containers on the node.
#. Run the infrastructure playbook to configure the container
specifically on node 3:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# openstack-ansible setup-infrastructure.yml \
-l node3_galera_container-3ea2cbd3
The new container runs a single-node Galera cluster, a dangerous
state because the environment contains more than one active database
with potentially different data.
.. code-block:: shell-session
# ansible galera_container -m shell -a "mysql \
-h localhost -e 'show status like \"%wsrep_cluster_%\";'"
