STEP 2- Install Percona_XtraDB-Cluster on db1,db2 and db3

• Login as root

• Copy the script below and paste it into the new file.

Percona install script:

• Save the file and close it
• Make the file executable

chmod +x percona.sh

./percona.sh

During the install, you will be asked to enter the "mysql root password". Enter a password

Use the same password for all 3 nodes

• After the install complete, check mysql is not running on all node.The script should stop mysql, but it is always good to check.
