1. 获取
这个不必多言吧，到 MySQL 网站上面下载就是了。MySQL Cluster 的英文部署测试手册很简明，这里和其内容基本一样。喜欢读英文版的朋友可以直接下载，略过本文。

2. 安装
先解压，然后创建一个 symbolic link：

michael@linux:~$ tar xvf mysql-cluster-gpl-7.2.4-linux2.6-x86_64.tar
michael@linux:~$ ln -s mysql-cluster-gpl-7.2.4-linux2.6-x86_64 mysqlc

如果你愿意，可以将~/mysqlc/bin加入到你的 path 里，方便使用。

3. 配置
作为在开发环境上第一次部署，还是以测试为主要目的。一个完整的 MySQL Cluster 由 MySQL Server，Data Nodes，Management Node 三部分组成。首先我们为它们创建一些必须的目录：

michael@linux:~$ mkdir mysql-cluster
michael@linux:~$ cd mysql-cluster
michael@linux:~$ mkdir conf ndb_data mysqld_data

然后在conf目录下创建如下两个文件，分别是config.ini和my.cnf，内容如下：

config.ini
用于 MySQL Server 的配置，端口号port根据你自己的情况设定。

[mysqld]
ndbcluster
datadir=/home/user1/my_cluster/mysqld_data
basedir=/home/user1/mysqlc
port=5050

my.cnf
该文件用于配置各结点的 NodeId 和 Data Nodes 与 Management Node 的数据目录。

[ndb_mgmd]
hostname=localhost
datadir=/home/user1/my_cluster/ndb_data
NodeId=1

[ndbd default]
noofreplicas=2
datadir=/home/user1/my_cluster/ndb_data

[ndbd]
hostname=localhost
NodeId=3

[ndbd]
hostname=localhost
NodeId=4

[mysqld]
NodeId=50

这时你的目录结构应该如下：

~
+-- /mysql-cluster-gpl-7.2.4-linux2.6-x86_64
+-- /mysqlc -> mysql-cluster-gpl-7.2.4-linux2.6-x86_64
+-- /mysql-cluster
    +-- /conf
    +-- /ndb_data
    +-- /mysqld_data

4. 运行
MySQL Cluster 的启动顺序是有要求的，如下：

1.Management Node
2.Data Nodes
3.MySQL Server
命令如下：

michael@linux:~$ cd ../mysql-cluster
michael@linux:~/mysql-cluster$ $HOME/mysqlc/bin/ndb_mgmd -f conf/config.ini --initial --configdir=$HOME/mysql-cluster/conf/
michael@linux:~/mysql-cluster$ $HOME/mysqlc/bin/ndbd -c localhost:1186
michael@linux:~/mysql-cluster$ $HOME/mysqlc/bin/ndbd -c localhost:1186

检查已经启动的结点的状态，命令为：

poecahnt@linux:~$ $HOME/mysqlc/bin/ndb_mgm -e show

输出如下：

Connected to Management Server at: localhost:1186
Cluster Configuration
---------------------
[ndbd(NDB)]     2 node(s)
id=3    @127.0.0.1  (mysql-5.5.19 ndb-7.2.4, Nodegroup: 0, Master)
id=4    @127.0.0.1  (mysql-5.5.19 ndb-7.2.4, Nodegroup: 0)

[ndb_mgmd(MGM)] 1 node(s)
id=1    @127.0.0.1  (mysql-5.5.19 ndb-7.2.4)

[mysqld(API)]   1 node(s)
id=50   @127.0.0.1  (mysql-5.5.19 ndb-7.2.4)

表示已经可以启动 MySQL Server 了。最后启动 MySQL Server，命令为：

michael@linux:~/mysql-cluseter$ $HOME/mysqlc/bin/mysqld --defaults-file=conf/my.cnf &

输出信息如下：

120223 15:29:02 InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled

5. 测试
连接 MySQL Server 进行测试，确认可以用ndb存储引擎来创建数据库中的表，如下：

michael@linux:~$ $HOME/mysqlc/bin/mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 5050
mysql> create database clusterdb;
mysql> use clusterdb;
mysql> insert into simples values (1),(2),(3),(4);
mysql> select * from simples;

        +----+
        | id |
        +----+
        |  3 |
        |  1 |
        |  2 |
        |  4 |
        +----+

6. 停止
MySQL Cluster 必须手动停止，Data Nodes 可以用 ndb_mgm 来停止：

michael@linux:~$ $HOME/mysqlc/bin/mysqladmin -h 127.0.0.1 -P 5050 shutdown

如果提示：

/home/michael/mysqlc/bin/mysqladmin: shutdown failed; error: 'Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SHUTDOWN privilege(s) for this operation'

则在shutdown命令前加上sudo。

michael@linux:~$ $HOME/mysqlc/bin/ndb_mgm -e shutdown

正常停止的信息类似如下：

120223 16:44:11 [Note] /home/michael/mysqlc/bin/mysqld: Normal shutdown

michael@linux:~/mysql-cluster$ 120223 16:44:11 [Note] Event Scheduler: Purging the queue. 0 events

120223 16:44:15 [Note] /home/michael/mysqlc/bin/mysqld: Shutdown complete

7. 总结
1.有序启动：Management Node，Data Nodes，MySQL Server
2.配置项与各节点的对应
3.每个结点都单独启动
4.Management Node 提供状态查看等多种功能
