Step 3: Install MariaDB Enterprise Server

Overview

This page details step 3 of the 9-step procedure "Deploy ColumnStore Object Storage Topology".

This step installs MariaDB Enterprise Server, MariaDB ColumnStore, CMAPI, and dependencies.

The instructions were tested against ColumnStore 23.10.

Interactive commands are detailed. Alternatively, the described operations can be performed using automation.

Retrieve Download Token

MariaDB Corporation provides package repositories for CentOS / RHEL (YUM) and Debian / Ubuntu (APT). A download token is required to access the MariaDB Enterprise Repository.

Customer Download Tokens are customer-specific and are available through the MariaDB Customer Portal.

To retrieve the token for your account:

1. Navigate to https://customers.mariadb.com/downloads/token/

2. Log in.

3. Copy the Customer Download Token.

Substitute your token for CUSTOMER_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN when configuring the package repositories.

Set Up Repository

1. On each ColumnStore node, install the prerequisites for downloading the software from the Web. Install on CentOS / RHEL (YUM):

$ sudo yum install curl

Install on Debian / Ubuntu (APT):

$ sudo apt install curl apt-transport-https

1. On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, configure package repositories and specify Enterprise Server:

$ curl -LsSO https://dlm.mariadb.com/enterprise-release-helpers/mariadb_es_repo_setup

$ echo "${checksum}  mariadb_es_repo_setup" \
       | sha256sum -c -

$ chmod +x mariadb_es_repo_setup

$ sudo ./mariadb_es_repo_setup --token="CUSTOMER_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN" --apply \
      --skip-maxscale \
      --skip-tools \
      --mariadb-server-version="11.4"

Checksums of the various releases of the mariadb_es_repo_setup script can be found in the Versions section at the bottom of the MariaDB Package Repository Setup and Usage page. Substitute ${checksum} in the example above with the latest checksum.

Install Enterprise Server and Enterprise ColumnStore

1. On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, install additional dependencies:

Install on CentOS and RHEL (YUM):

$ sudo yum install jemalloc jq curl

Install on Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04 (APT)

$ sudo apt install libjemalloc1 jq curl

Install on Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 (APT):

$ sudo apt install libjemalloc2 jq curl

1. On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, install MariaDB Enterprise Server and MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore:

Install on CentOS / RHEL (YUM):

$ sudo yum install MariaDB-server \
   MariaDB-backup \
   MariaDB-shared \
   MariaDB-client \
   MariaDB-columnstore-engine \
   MariaDB-columnstore-cmapi

Install on Debian / Ubuntu (APT):

$ sudo apt install mariadb-server \
   mariadb-backup \
   libmariadb3 \
   mariadb-client \
   mariadb-plugin-columnstore \
   mariadb-columnstore-cmapi
