A single bundle ( .tar  file) of all NDB Cluster RPMs for a given platform and architecture is also available. The name of this file follows the pattern shown here: 

mysql-cluster- license - ver - rev . distro . arch .rpm-bundle.tar 

You can extract the individual RPM files from this file using tar  or your preferred tool for extracting archives. 

The components required to install the three major types of NDB Cluster nodes are given in the following list: 

• Management node : management-server 

• Data node : data-node 

• SQL node : server  and common 

In addition, the client  RPM should be installed to provide the ndb_mgm  management client on at least one management node. You may also wish to install it on SQL nodes, to have mysql  and other MySQL client programs available on these. We discuss installation of nodes by type later in this section. 

ver  represents the three-part NDB  storage engine version number in 8.0. x  format, shown as 8.0.25  in the examples. rev  provides the RPM revision number in major . minor  format. In the examples shown in this section, we use 1.1  for this value. 

The distro  (Linux distribution) is one of rhel5  (Oracle Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5), el6 (Oracle Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6), el7  (Oracle Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7), or sles12 (SUSE Enterprise Linux 12). For the examples in this section, we assume that the host runs Oracle Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, or the equivalent ( el7 ). 

arch  is i686  for 32-bit RPMs and x86_64  for 64-bit versions. In the examples shown here, we assume a 64-bit platform. 

The NDB Cluster version number in the RPM file names (shown here as 8.0.25 ) can vary according to the version which you are actually using. It is very important that all of the Cluster RPMs to be installed have the same version number . The architecture should also be appropriate to the machine on which the RPM is to be installed; in particular, you should keep in mind that 64-bit RPMs ( x86_64 ) cannot be used with 32-bit operating systems (use i686  for the latter). 

Data nodes.  On a computer that is to host an NDB Cluster data node it is necessary to install only the data-node  RPM. To do so, copy this RPM to the data node host, and run the following command as the system root user, replacing the name shown for the RPM as necessary to match that of the RPM downloaded from the MySQL website: 

shell> rpm -Uhv mysql-cluster-community-data-node-8.0.25-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
