Regarding Mysql Master-slave configuration

Hi to all,

I have some doubs regarding Mysql master-slaves

For example , if i setup 2 slaves to Master.In between production ,i want to add another slave to that master.at that time,what i have to do?

thanks in advance

From stackoverflow

• The process of setting up a slave to a live server is simple:

  • use mysqldump to get a snapshot from the master in a specific point in time
  • configure your new slave as per your needs, with replication down
  • integrate the master snapshot
  • shutdown the slave server
  • configure replication
  • start the slave

  You can do all this perfectly well on a running production server, as the only intervention required on existing servers is taking the snapshot from the master which is a rather painless process.
