Installing MySQL on AIX

I am always looking for ways to improve the integration of AIX systems into open-source and Linux environments and thought MySQL would be particularly useful.

1. Start by downloading the following RPMs from http://www.perzl.org/:

mysql-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
mysql-bench-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
mysql-devel-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
mysql-libs-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
mysql-server-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
mysql-test-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
perl-5.8.8-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
perl-DBD-MySQL-4.022-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
perl-DBI-1.622-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
perl-suidperl-5.8.8-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
unixODBC-devel-2.3.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

NOTE: You may need some others to satisfy the RPM prereqs

2. Install the RPMs

# rpm -Uvh perl-5.8.8-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh perl-suidperl-5.8.8-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
# rpm -Uvh ./perl-DBD-MySQL-4.022-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ./perl-DBI-1.622-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ./mysql-libs-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ./mysql-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ./mysql-libs-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm --nodeps
# rpm -Uvh ./mysql-server-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ./mysql-test-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ./mysql-bench-5.1.73-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

3. Start the MYSQL server:

# /opt/freeware/libexec/mysqld &
Note: you can use lsof or netstat -an to check that the listener is up

# lsof -i :3306
lsof: WARNING: compiled for AIX version 6.1.3.0; this is 6.1.0.0.
COMMAND       PID  USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
mysqld_64 9044136 mysql    4u  IPv4 0xf1000500012793b8      0t0  TCP *:mysql (LISTEN)
lsof: WARNING: /home/root/.lsof_p520-aix61 was updated.


4. Create the MySQL admin user passwords
# /opt/freeware/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'password'
# /opt/freeware/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h p520-aix61 password 'password'

5. Test the databases have been correctly installed:

# su - mysql
$ /opt/freeware/bin/mysqlcheck --databases mysql -p
Enter password:
mysql.columns_priv                                 OK
mysql.db                                           OK
mysql.event                                        OK
mysql.func                                         OK
mysql.general_log
Error    : You can't use locks with log tables.
status   : OK
mysql.help_category                                OK
mysql.help_keyword                                 OK
mysql.help_relation                                OK
mysql.help_topic                                   OK
mysql.host                                         OK
mysql.ndb_binlog_index                             OK
mysql.plugin                                       OK
mysql.proc                                         OK
mysql.procs_priv                                   OK
mysql.servers                                      OK
mysql.slow_log
Error    : You can't use locks with log tables.
status   : OK
mysql.tables_priv                                  OK
mysql.time_zone                                    OK
mysql.time_zone_leap_second                        OK
mysql.time_zone_name                               OK
mysql.time_zone_transition                         OK
mysql.time_zone_transition_type                    OK
mysql.user                                         OK


6. Ensure that the database server is configured as per your requirements:

# cat /opt/freeware/etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1

# To allow mysqld to connect to a MySQL Cluster management daemon, uncomment
# these lines and adjust the connectstring as needed.
#ndbcluster
#ndb-connectstring="nodeid=4;host=localhost:1186"

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

[ndbd]
# If you are running a MySQL Cluster storage daemon (ndbd) on this machine,
# adjust its connection to the management daemon here.
# Note: ndbd init script requires this to include nodeid!
connect-string="nodeid=2;host=localhost:1186"

[ndb_mgm]
# connection string for MySQL Cluster management tool
connect-string="host=localhost:1186"


7. Attempt to run a query:

# ./bin/mysql -p mysql
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

8. To shutdown MySQL run:

# /opt/freeware/bin/mysqladmin shutdown -p
Enter password:

140516  9:18:07 [Note] Event Scheduler: Purging the queue. 0 events
