Memsql Installation on different Port

Help
1

How can I Install or uninstall the memsql on different port rather than default port 3306. Our present test environment nodes are with the port 43306 and 43307 respectively. I tried installing memsql with memsql-deploy tool and it took the default 3306. Can you please let me know what need to be changed here.

Also I wanted to uninstall the the existing installing which is on 43306 port. Please let me know how can I get that work on different ports.

See the documentation here. With memsql-deploy, you can specify a port using -P or --port. Otherwise, it defaults to port 3306, as you observed. With memsql-delete, you can uninstall the nodes on the wrong port.

Thanks for the reply , the document here shows the memsql-ops memsql-deploy, but isn’t that memsql-ops deprecated from 6.7 as per this documentation here.

I am trying to use the memsql-deploy cluster-in-a-box --license [YOUR LICENSE KEY] as referred in this doc, where there is no option for -P or --port.

Sorry about that! I didn’t realize that my search for memsql-deploy took me to MemSQL Ops.

Here is the documentation for memsql-deploy setup-cluster for MemSQL Tools, which has a memsql-port option to specify a port other than 3306.

To start over, I think that you could either use memsql-deploy uninstall or memsql-admin commands such as stop-node, remove-leaf, remove-aggregator, delete-node, add-node with the port option, add-aggregator, and add-leaf.

I hope that’s more helpful.

Sorry I did not mention earlier regarding the hosts, I think that helps for multi hosts, my test env is with single host and for that I am using
memsql-deploy cluster-in-a-box to create the cluster ( This will install the latest released version of memsql-server on the local machine and deploy a master aggregator on port 3306 and a leaf node on port 3307). How can I install in different port in a single host?

Also I tried upgrading the existing one which is currently 5.7 version on different ports, but unfortunately i was not able to upgrade it memsql-deploy upgrade --> unable to determine package type: no hosts. Looks like even the upgrade looking at the port 3306 by default.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think that using memsql-deploy cluster-in-a-box is a requirement to deploy to a single box. It just deploys a common configuration to make the process easier. However, if you’re deviating from that common configuration, by using the non-default ports for example, then I suspect that you just need to use memsql-deploy setup-cluster.

MemSQL Tools is more recent functionality (added with 6.7, I think), so I suspect that you need to upgrade to at least 6.7 using MemSQL Ops before you can start using MemSQL Tools for future upgrades. See the documentation on how to do that here.

I tried doing with memsql-deploy setup-cluster, but that doesn’t seem to work for single host as it throws error saying both the master and leadf node IP’s are same.

Looking at the documentation again, it appears that you may only be able to use the memsql-port flag to specify one port for all nodes, which is why it won’t let you use one IP address as well. Perhaps review the host-file flag for setup-cluster. It appears that you should be able to specify different ports for each node that way.

The simpler cluster-in-a-box and setup-cluster installations do not support custom ports on a single host unfortunately. You should follow the “Comprehensive” installation guide (SingleStoreDB Cloud · SingleStore Documentation) and use the --port option to memsql-admin create-node. This installation guide works for both single host and multiple hosts.

Thank you @jack, that really helps, I have tried to register the hosts and tried using memsql-deploy but with vagrant user we couldn’t use memsql tools, it doesn’t see the hosts or nodes. We have to login to root user and use the memsql tools. But thats not the case with memsql-ops, we were able to manage the nodes with vagrant user itself.

It’s expected that installation operations like memsql-deploy install requires root/sudo in a regular Tools installation. However operations like memsql-admin list-nodes and memsql-admin restart-node should not require root/sudo normally. It’s possible that they do in your case because of permissions issues, since you registered an existing cluster that may have been installed under a different user, or something like that.

You can install Tools without root/sudo, see this answer:

@jack/@bvincent Any update on this, Installing new memsql or “registering” the existing nodes, both seems to be not working on a single host.

Using comprehensive guide, I can install Memsql on a custom port. Maybe you can try to backup data, then reinstall from the scratch. Good luck!

Hey dennis,

With the help of another MemSQL dev several weeks back, here’s what I have:

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install memsql-toolbox memsql-client memsql-studio

memsql-toolbox-config register-host --localhost --host 127.0.0.1
memsql-toolbox-config list-hosts
memsql-deploy install --all

memsql-admin create-node --host 127.0.0.1 --password “” -P 3307
memsql-admin create-node --host 127.0.0.1 --password “” -P 3308
memsql-admin create-node --host 127.0.0.1 --password “” -P 3309

memsql-admin list-nodes
(get your list of MemSQL IDs here for the below section)

memsql-admin bootstrap-aggregator --memsql-id < MemSQL_ID_#1 > --license < license >
memsql-admin add-aggregator --memsql-id < MemSQL_ID_#2 >
memsql-admin add-leaf --memsql-id < MemSQL_ID_#3 >

memsql-admin optimize
sudo systemctl start memsql-studio
