This page was step 3 of 9.
Next: Step 4: Start and Configure MariaDB Enterprise Server.
In a ColumnStore Object Storage topology, MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore requires the Storage Manager directory to be located on shared local storage.
The Storage Manager directory is at the following path:
/var/lib/columnstore/storagemanager
The N in dataN represents a range of integers that starts at 1 and stops at the number of nodes in the deployment. For example, with a 3-node Enterprise ColumnStore deployment, this would refer to the following directories:
/var/lib/columnstore/data1
/var/lib/columnstore/data2
/var/lib/columnstore/data3
The DB Root directories must be mounted on every ColumnStore node.
Select a Shared Local Storage solution for the Storage Manager directory:
EBS (Elastic Block Store) Multi-Attach
EFS (Elastic File System)
Filestore
GlusterFS
NFS (Network File System)
For additional information, see "Shared Local Storage Options".
EBS is a high-performance block-storage service for AWS (Amazon Web Services). EBS Multi-Attach allows an EBS volume to be attached to multiple instances in AWS. Only clustered file systems, such as GFS2, are supported.
For Enterprise ColumnStore deployments in AWS:
EBS Multi-Attach is a recommended option for the Storage Manager directory.
Amazon S3 storage is the recommended option for data.
Consult the vendor documentation for details on how to configure EBS Multi-Attach.
EFS is a scalable, elastic, cloud-native NFS file system for AWS (Amazon Web Services)
For deployments in AWS:
EFS is a recommended option for the Storage Manager directory.
Amazon S3 storage is the recommended option for data.
Consult the vendor documentation for details on how to configure EFS.
Filestore is high-performance, fully managed storage for GCP (Google Cloud Platform).
For Enterprise ColumnStore deployments in GCP:
Filestore is the recommended option for the Storage Manager directory.
Google Object Storage (S3-compatible) is the recommended option for data.
Consult the vendor documentation for details on how to configure Filestore.
GlusterFS is a distributed file system.
GlusterFS is a shared local storage option, but it is not one of the recommended options.
For more information, see "".
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, install GlusterFS.
Install on CentOS / RHEL 8 (YUM):
Install on CentOS / RHEL 7 (YUM):
Install on Debian (APT):
Install on Ubuntu (APT):
Start the GlusterFS daemon:
Before you can create a volume with GlusterFS, you must probe each node from a peer node.
On the primary node, probe all of the other cluster nodes:
On one of the replica nodes, probe the primary node to confirm that it is connected:
On the primary node, check the peer status:
Number of Peers: 2
Create the GlusterFS volumes for MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore. Each volume must have the same number of replicas as the number of Enterprise ColumnStore nodes.
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, create the directory for each brick in the /brick directory:
On the primary node, create the GlusterFS volumes:
On the primary node, start the volume:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, create mount points for the volumes:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, add the mount points to /etc/fstab:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, mount the volumes:
NFS is a distributed file system. NFS is available in most Linux distributions. If NFS is used for an Enterprise ColumnStore deployment, the storage must be mounted with the sync option to ensure that each node flushes its changes immediately.
For on-premises deployments:
NFS is the recommended option for the Storage Manager directory.
Any S3-compatible storage is the recommended option for data.
Consult the documentation for your NFS implementation for details on how to configure NFS.

Minimum Hardware Requirements
Recommended Hardware Requirements
MaxScale nodes, 1 or more are required.
Enterprise ColumnStore nodes, 3 or more are required for high availability. You should always have an odd number of nodes in a multi-node ColumnStore deployment to avoid split brain scenarios.
In alignment to the , the ColumnStore Object Storage topology with MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.5, MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore 5, and MariaDB MaxScale 2.5 is provided for:
CentOS Linux 7 (x86_64)
Debian 10 (x86_64)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (x86_64)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (x86_64)
MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore's minimum hardware requirements are not intended for production environments, but the minimum hardware requirements can be appropriate for development and test environments. For production environments, see the recommended hardware requirements instead.
The minimum hardware requirements are:
MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore will refuse to start if the system has less than 3 GB of memory.
If Enterprise ColumnStore is started on a system with less memory, the following error message will be written to the ColumnStore system log called crit.log:
And the following error message will be raised to the client:
MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore's recommended hardware requirements are intended for production analytics.
The recommended hardware requirements are:
The ColumnStore Object Storage topology requires the following storage types:
The ColumnStore Object Storage topology uses shared local storage for the Storage Manager directory to store metadata.
The Storage Manager directory is located at the following path by default:
/var/lib/columnstore/storagemanager
The most common shared local storage options for the ColumnStore Object Storage topology are:
Enterprise ColumnStore's CMAPI (Cluster Management API) is a REST API that can be used to manage a multi-node Enterprise ColumnStore cluster.
Many tools are capable of interacting with REST APIs. For example, the curl utility could be used to make REST API calls from the command-line.
Many programming languages also have libraries for interacting with REST APIs.
The examples below show how to use the CMAPI with curl.
For example:
'x-api-key': '93816fa66cc2d8c224e62275bd4f248234dd4947b68d4af2b29671dd7d5532dd'
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
x-api-key can be set to any value of your choice during the first call to the server. Subsequent connections will require this same key.
MariaDB Enterprise Server packages are configured to read configuration files from different paths, depending on the operating system. Making custom changes to Enterprise Server default configuration files is not recommended because custom changes may be overwritten by other default configuration files that are loaded later.
To ensure that your custom changes will be read last, create a custom configuration file with the z- prefix in one of the include directories.
The systemctl command is used to start and stop the MariaDB Enterprise Server service.
For additional information, see "".
MariaDB Enterprise Server produces log data that can be helpful in problem diagnosis.
Log filenames and locations may be overridden in the server configuration. The default location of logs is the data directory. The data directory is specified by the datadir system variable.
The systemctl command is used to start and stop the ColumnStore service.
In the ColumnStore Object Storage topology, the mariadb-columnstore service should not be enabled. The CMAPI service restarts Enterprise ColumnStore as needed, so it does not need to start automatically upon reboot.
The systemctl command is used to start and stop the CMAPI service.
For additional information on endpoints, see "CMAPI".
MaxScale can be configured using several methods. These methods make use of MaxScale's .
The procedure on these pages configures MaxScale using MaxCtrl.
The systemctl command is used to start and stop the MaxScale service.>

For additional information, see "Global Parameters".
On the MaxScale node, restart the MaxScale service to ensure that MaxScale picks up the new configuration:
For additional information, see "Start and Stop Services".
On the MaxScale node, use maxctrl create to create a server object for each Enterprise ColumnStore node:
MaxScale uses monitors to retrieve additional information from the servers. This information is used by other services in filtering and routing connections based on the current state of the node. For MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore, use the MariaDB Monitor (mariadbmon).
On the MaxScale node, use maxctrl create monitor to create a MariaDB Monitor:
In this example:
columnstore_monitor is an arbitrary name that is used to identify the new monitor.
mariadbmon is the name of the module that implements the MariaDB Monitor.
user=MAXSCALE_USER sets the user parameter to the database user account that MaxScale uses to monitor the ColumnStore nodes.
password='MAXSCALE_USER_PASSWORD' sets the password parameter to the password used by the database user account that MaxScale uses to monitor the ColumnStore nodes.
replication_user=REPLICATION_USER sets the replication_user parameter to the database user account that MaxScale uses to setup replication.
replication_password='REPLICATION_USER_PASSWORD' sets the replication_password parameter to the password used by the database user account that MaxScale uses to setup replication.
--servers sets the servers parameter to the set of nodes that MaxScale should monitor. All non-option arguments after --servers are interpreted as server names.
Other Module Parameters supported by mariadbmon in MaxScale 22.08 can also be specified.
Routers control how MaxScale balances the load between Enterprise ColumnStore nodes. Each router uses a different approach to routing queries. Consider the specific use case of your application and database load and select the router that best suits your needs.
Connection-based load balancing
Routes connections to Enterprise ColumnStore nodes designated as replica servers for a read-only pool
Routes connections to an Enterprise ColumnStore node designated as the primary server for a read-write pool.
Query-based load balancing
Routes write queries to an Enterprise ColumnStore node designated as the primary server
Routes read queries to Enterprise ColumnStore node designated as replica servers
Automatically reconnects after node failures
Automatically replays transactions after node failures
Use MaxScale Read Connection Router (readconnroute) to route connections to replica servers for a read-only pool.
On the MaxScale node, use maxctrl create service to create a router:
In this example:
connection_router_service is an arbitrary name that is used to identify the new service.
readconnroute is the name of the module that implements the Read Connection Router.
user=MAXSCALE_USER sets the user parameter to the database user account that MaxScale uses to connect to the ColumnStore nodes.
password=MAXSCALE_USER_PASSWORD sets the password parameter to the password used by the database user account that MaxScale uses to connect to the ColumnStore nodes.
router_options=slave sets the router_options parameter to slave, so that MaxScale only routes connections to the replica nodes.
--servers sets the servers parameter to the set of nodes to which MaxScale should route connections. All non-option arguments after --servers are interpreted as server names.
Other Module Parameters supported by readconnroute in MaxScale 22.08 can also be specified.
These instructions reference TCP port 3308. You can use a different TCP port. The TCP port used must not be bound by any other listener.
On the MaxScale node, use the maxctrl create listener command to configure MaxScale to use a listener for the Read Connection Router (readconnroute):
In this example:
connection_router_service is the name of the readconnroute service that was previously created.
connection_router_listener is an arbitrary name that is used to identify the new listener.
3308 is the TCP port.
protocol=MariaDBClient sets the protocol parameter.
Other Module Parameters supported by listeners in MaxScale 22.08 can also be specified.
MaxScale Read/Write Split Router (readwritesplit) performs query-based load balancing. The router routes write queries to the primary and read queries to the replicas.
On the MaxScale node, use the maxctrl create service command to configure MaxScale to use the Read/Write Split Router (readwritesplit):
In this example:
query_router_service is an arbitrary name that is used to identify the new service.
readwritesplit is the name of the module that implements the Read/Write Split Router.
user=MAXSCALE_USER sets the user parameter to the database user account that MaxScale uses to connect to the ColumnStore nodes.
password=MAXSCALE_USER_PASSWORD sets the password parameter to the password used by the database user account that MaxScale uses to connect to the ColumnStore nodes.
--servers sets the servers parameter to the set of nodes to which MaxScale should route queries. All non-option arguments after --servers are interpreted as server names.
Other Module Parameters supported by readwritesplit in MaxScale 22.08 can also be specified.
These instructions reference TCP port 3307. You can use a different TCP port. The TCP port used must not be bound by any other listener.
On the MaxScale node, use the maxctrl create listener command to configure MaxScale to use a listener for the Read/Write Split Router (readwritesplit):
In this example:
query_router_service is the name of the readwritesplit service that was previously created.

This step starts and configures MariaDB Enterprise Server, and MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore 23.10.
Interactive commands are detailed. Alternatively, the described operations can be performed using automation.
The installation process might have started some of the ColumnStore services. The services should be stopped prior to making configuration changes.
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, stop the MariaDB Enterprise Server service:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, stop the MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore service:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, stop the CMAPI service:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, configure Enterprise Server.
Mandatory system variables and options for ColumnStore Object Storage include:
Example Configuration
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, start and enable the MariaDB Enterprise Server service, so that it starts automatically upon reboot:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, stop the MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore service:
After the CMAPI service is installed in the next step, CMAPI will start the Enterprise ColumnStore service as-needed on each node. CMAPI disables the Enterprise ColumnStore service to prevent systemd from automatically starting Enterprise ColumnStore upon reboot.
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, start and enable the CMAPI service, so that it starts automatically upon reboot:
For additional information, see "Start and Stop Services".
The ColumnStore Object Storage topology requires several user accounts. Each user account should be created on the primary server, so that it is replicated to the replica servers.
Enterprise ColumnStore requires a mandatory utility user account to perform cross-engine joins and similar operations.
On the primary server, create the user account with the CREATE USER statement:
On the primary server, grant the user account SELECT privileges on all databases with the GRANT statement:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, configure the ColumnStore utility user:
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, set the password:
For details about how to encrypt the password, see "".
Passwords should meet your organization's password policies. If your MariaDB Enterprise Server instance has a password validation plugin installed, then the password should also meet the configured requirements.
ColumnStore Object Storage uses MariaDB Replication to replicate writes between the primary and replica servers. As MaxScale can promote a replica server to become a new primary in the event of node failure, all nodes must have a replication user.
The action is performed on the primary server.
Create the replication user and grant it the required privileges:
Use the CREATE USER statement to create replication user.
Replace the referenced IP address with the relevant address for your environment.
Ensure that the user account can connect to the primary server from each replica.
Grant the user account the required privileges with the GRANT statement.
ColumnStore Object Storage 23.10 uses MariaDB MaxScale 22.08 to load balance between the nodes.
This action is performed on the primary server.
Use the statement to create the MaxScale user:
Replace the referenced IP address with the relevant address for your environment.
Ensure that the user account can connect from the IP address of the MaxScale instance.
Use the statement to grant the privileges required by the router:
Use the statement to grant privileges required by the MariaDB Monitor.
On each replica server, configure MariaDB Replication:
Use the CHANGE MASTER TO statement to configure the connection to the primary server:
Start replication using the START REPLICA statement:
Confirm that replication is working using the SHOW REPLICA STATUS statement:
Ensure that the replica server cannot accept local writes by setting the read_only system variable to ON using the SET GLOBAL statement:
Initiate the primary server using CMAPI.
Create an API key for the cluster. This API key should be stored securely and kept confidential, because it can be used to add cluster nodes to the multi-node Enterprise ColumnStore deployment.
For example, to create a random 256-bit API key using openssl rand:
This document will use the following API key in further examples, but users should create their own:
Use CMAPI to add the primary server to the cluster and set the API key. The new API key needs to be provided as part of the X-API-key HTML header.
For example, if the primary server's host name is mcs1 and its IP address is 192.0.2.1, use the following node command:
Use CMAPI to check the status of the cluster node:
Add the replica servers with CMAPI:
For each replica server, use to add the replica server to the cluster. The previously set API key needs to be provided as part of the X-API-key HTML header.
For example, if the primary server's host name is mcs1 and the replica server's IP address is 192.0.2.2, use the following node command:
After all replica servers have been added, use CMAPI to confirm that all cluster nodes have been successfully added:
The specific steps to configure the security module depend on the operating system.
Configure SELinux for Enterprise ColumnStore:
To configure SELinux, you have to install the packages required for audit2allow. On CentOS 7 and RHEL 7, install the following:
On RHEL 8, install the following:
Allow the system to run under load for a while to generate SELinux audit events.
After the system has taken some load, generate an SELinux policy from the audit events using audit2allow:
If no audit events were found, this will print the following:
If audit events were found, the new SELinux policy can be loaded using semodule:
Set SELinux to enforcing mode:
Set SELinux to enforcing mode by setting SELINUX=enforcing in /etc/selinux/config.
For example, the file will usually look like this after the change:
Confirm that SELinux is in enforcing mode:
For information on how to create a profile, see on Ubuntu.com.
The specific steps to configure the firewall service depend on the platform.
Configure firewalld for Enterprise Cluster on CentOS and RHEL:
Check if the firewalld service is running:
If the firewalld service was stopped to perform the installation, start it now:
For example, if your cluster nodes are in the 192.0.2.0/24 subnet:
Open up the relevant ports using firewall-cmd:
Reload the runtime configuration:
Configure UFW for Enterprise ColumnStore on Ubuntu:
Check if the UFW service is running:
If the UFW service was stopped to perform the installation, start it now:
Open up the relevant ports using ufw.
For example, if your cluster nodes are in the 192.0.2.0/24 subnet in the range 192.0.2.1 - 192.0.2.3:
Reload the runtime configuration:

When users connect to MaxScale, MaxScale authenticates the user connection before routing it to an Enterprise Server node. Enterprise Server authenticates the connection as originating from the IP address of the MaxScale node.
The application users must have one user account with the host IP address of the application server and a second user account with the host IP address of the MaxScale node.
The requirement of a duplicate user account can be avoided by enabling the proxy_protocol parameter for MaxScale and the proxy_protocol_networks for Enterprise Server.
This action is performed on the primary Enterprise ColumnStore node:
Connect to the primary Enterprise ColumnStore node:
Create the database user account for your MaxScale node:
Replace 192.0.2.10 with the relevant IP address specification for your MaxScale node.
Passwords should meet your organization's password policies.
Grant the privileges required by your application to the database user account for your MaxScale node:
The privileges shown are designed to allow the tests in the subsequent sections to work. The user account for your production application may require different privileges.
This action is performed on the primary Enterprise ColumnStore node:
Create the database user account for your application server:
Replace 192.0.2.11 with the relevant IP address specification for your application server.
Passwords should meet your organization's password policies.
Grant the privileges required by your application to the d database user account for your application server:
The privileges shown are designed to allow the tests in the subsequent sections to work. The user account for your production application may require different privileges.
To test the connection, use the MariaDB Client from your application server to connect to an Enterprise ColumnStore node through MaxScale.
This action is performed on a client connected to the MaxScale node:
If you configured the Read Connection Router, confirm that MaxScale routes connections to the replica servers.
On the MaxScale node, use the command to view the available listeners and ports:
Open multiple terminals connected to your application server, in each, use MariaDB Client to connect to the listener port for the Read Connection Router (in the example, 3308):
Use the application user credentials you created for the --user and --password options.
In each terminal, query the hostname and server_id system variable and option to identify to which you're connected:
Different terminals should return different values since MaxScale routes the connections to different nodes.
Since the router was configured with the slave router option, the Read Connection Router only routes connections to replica servers.
If you configured the Read/Write Split Router, confirm that MaxScale routes write queries on this router to the primary Enterprise ColumnStore node.
on the MaxScale node, use the command to view the available listeners and ports:
Open multiple terminals connected to your application server, in each, use MariaDB Client to connect to the listener port for the Read/Write Split Router (in the example, 3307):
Use the application user credentials you created for the --user and --password options.
In one terminal, create the test table:
In each terminal, issue an insert.md statement to add a row to the example table with the values of the hostname and server_id system variable and option:
In one terminal, issue a SELECT statement to query the results:
While MaxScale is handling multiple connections from different terminals, it routed all connections to the current primary Enterprise ColumnStore node, which in the example is mcs1#.
If you configured the , confirm that MaxScale routes read queries on this router to replica servers.
On the MaxScale node, use the command to view the available listeners and ports:
In a terminal connected to your application server, use MariaDB Client to connect to the listener port for the (in the example, 3307):
Use the application user credentials you created for the --user and --password options.
Query the hostname and server_id to identify which server MaxScale routed you to.
Resend the query:
Confirm that MaxScale routes the SELECT statements to different replica servers.
For more information on different routing criteria, see slave_selection_criteria

MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore performs best with Linux kernel optimizations.
On each server to host an Enterprise ColumnStore node, optimize the kernel:
Set the relevant kernel parameters in a sysctl configuration file. To ensure proper change management, use an Enterprise ColumnStore-specific configuration file.
Create a /etc/sysctl.d/90-mariadb-enterprise-columnstore.conf file:
Use the sysctl command to set the kernel parameters at runtime
The Linux Security Modules (LSM) should be temporarily disabled on each Enterprise ColumnStore node during installation.
The LSM will be configured and re-enabled later in this deployment procedure.
The steps to disable the LSM depend on the specific LSM used by the operating system.
SELinux must be set to permissive mode before installing MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore.
To set SELinux to permissive mode:
Set SELinux to permissive mode:
Set SELinux to permissive mode by setting SELINUX=permissive in /etc/selinux/config.
For example, the file will usually look like this after the change:
Confirm that SELinux is in permissive mode:
SELinux will be configured and re-enabled later in this deployment procedure. This configuration is not persistent. If you restart the server before configuring and re-enabling SELinux later in the deployment procedure, you must reset the enforcement to permissive mode.
AppArmor must be disabled before installing MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore.
Disable AppArmor:
Reboot the system.
Confirm that no AppArmor profiles are loaded using aa-status:
AppArmor will be configured and re-enabled later in this deployment procedure.
MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore requires the following TCP ports:
3306
Port used for MariaDB Client traffic
8600-8630
Port range used for inter-node communication
8640
Port used by CMAPI
8700
Port used for inter-node communication
8800
Port used for inter-node communication
The firewall should be temporarily disabled on each Enterprise ColumnStore node during installation.
The firewall will be configured and re-enabled later in this deployment procedure.
The steps to disable the firewall depend on the specific firewall used by the operating system.
Check if the firewalld service is running:
If the firewalld service is running, stop it:
Firewalld will be configured and re-enabled later in this deployment procedure.
Check if the UFW service is running:
If the UFW service is running, stop it:
UFW will be configured and re-enabled later in this deployment procedure.
To install Enterprise ColumnStore on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the security group must be modified prior to installation.
Enterprise ColumnStore requires all internal communications to be open between Enterprise ColumnStore nodes. Therefore, the security group should allow all protocols and all ports to be open between the Enterprise ColumnStore nodes and the MaxScale proxy.
When using MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore, it is recommended to set the system's locale to UTF-8.
On RHEL 8, install additional dependencies:
Set the system's locale to en_US.UTF-8 by executing localedef:
MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore requires all nodes to have host names that are resolvable on all other nodes. If your infrastructure does not configure DNS centrally, you may need to configure static DNS entries in the /etc/hosts file of each server.
On each Enterprise ColumnStore node, edit the /etc/hosts file to map host names to the IP address of each Enterprise ColumnStore node:
Replace the IP addresses with the addresses in your own environment.
