Mike Kruckenberg: MySQL Cluster Setup, in a Single Screenshot

Mike Kruckenberg: MySQL Cluster Setup, in a Single Screenshot:

Have been meaning to post about the cluster setup I’m using for *functional* testing (not appropriate for performance testing or production environments).

The gist is that I’m using Parallels on OS X, running 4 nodes (1 management, 2 & 3 storage, 4 SQL) on 4 virtual machines. Each machine has between 128Mb and 256Mb of allocated RAM which isn’t much for a cluster, but is as much as I can give from the 2Gb on the MacBook Pro. Each virtual machine has a version of MySQL 5.1.12 compiled from source. Actually, I built one VM with the compiled and installed source and then cloned that for the other 3 machines. The preferred flavor of Linux for these is Ubuntu server.
