Bootstrapping the First Node Bootstrapping the First Node¶
After you configure all PXC nodes, initialize the cluster by bootstrapping the first node. The initial node must contain all the data that you want to be replicated to other nodes.
Bootstrapping implies starting the first node without any known cluster
addresses: if the wsrep_cluster_address variable is empty, Percona XtraDB Cluster assumes that
this is the first node and initializes the cluster.
Instead of changing the configuration, start the first node using the following command:
[root@pxc1 ~]# systemctl start mysql@bootstrap.service
When you start the node using the previous command,
it runs in bootstrap mode with wsrep_cluster_address=gcomm://.
This tells the node to initialize the cluster
with wsrep_cluster_conf_id set to 1.
After you add other nodes to the cluster,
you can then restart this node as normal,
and it will use standard configuration again.
To make sure that the cluster has been initialized, run the following:
mysql@pxc1> show status like 'wsrep%';
+----------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+----------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| wsrep_local_state_uuid | c2883338-834d-11e2-0800-03c9c68e41ec |
| ... | ... |
| wsrep_local_state | 4 |
| wsrep_local_state_comment | Synced |
| ... | ... |
| wsrep_cluster_size | 1 |
| wsrep_cluster_status | Primary |
| wsrep_connected | ON |
| ... | ... |
| wsrep_ready | ON |
+----------------------------+--------------------------------------+
40 rows in set (0.01 sec)
The previous output shows that the cluster size is 1 node,
it is the primary component, the node is in the Synced state,
it is fully connected and ready for write-set replication.
Different from previous version
The variable wsrep_sst_auth has been removed. Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0
automatically creates the system user mysql.pxc.internal.session. During
SST, the user mysql.pxc.sst.user and the role mysql.pxc.sst.role
are created on the donor node.

Next Steps¶
After initializing the cluster, you can add other nodes.
