We have a MySQL innodb cluster in one of our environments. One of the nodes in the cluster was crashed. Though, we were able to bring the crashed node online we were unable to join it to the cluster.

Can someone please help to recover/restore the node and join it to the cluster. We tried to use "dba.rebootClusterFromCompleteOutage()" but it didn't help.

Configuration: MySQL 5.7.24 Community Edition, CentOS 7, standard three node innodb cluster

Lets put it on simple terms:
What this means is that you had 2 servers (S1,S2), one crashed (S2). While S2 was crashed you did some operations on S1 (transactions T1,T2) but at some point in time the binlogs on S1 were purged and they included info for T1.

Bottom line, S2 can't join the group because it knows it is missing T1, but there is no binlog file with that information available to transmit that info during recovery.

Sorry but there is no magic command here, that is just bad luck.
For now your best option is to provision S2 with data from S1 using some tool like dump or another in that group.

For the future you should recheck your binlog purge policies and make if possible the recovery of crashed machines a bit more fast.

I did the following to restore the failed node from backup and able to recover the cluster state.

1)Below is the status of the cluster when one of the nodes failed (NODE01).

2) Take mysqldump from the master node (healthy node) using the following command.

[root@NODE03 db_backup]# mysqldump --all-databases --add-drop-database --single-transaction --triggers --routines --port=mysql_port --user=root -p > /db_backup/mysql_dump_03062019.sql
Enter password:
Warning: A partial dump from a server that has GTIDs will by default include the GTIDs of all transactions, even those that changed suppressed parts of the database. If you don't want to restore GTIDs, pass --set-gtid-purged=OFF. To make a complete dump, pass --all-databases --triggers --routines --events.

3) Execute below step to remove the failed node from the cluster.

 MySQL NODE03:3306 ssl JS > var c=dba.getCluster()
 MySQL NODE03:3306 ssl JS > c.rescan()
Rescanning the cluster...

Result of the rescanning operation:

 "defaultReplicaSet": 
 "name": "default",

 "host": "NODE01:3306",
 "label": "NODE01:3306",

 ]
 


The instance 'NODE01:3306' is no longer part of the HA setup. It is either offline or left the HA group.
You can try to add it to the cluster again with the cluster.rejoinInstance('NODE01:3306') command or you can remove it from the cluster configuration.
Would you like to remove it from the cluster metadata? [Y/n]: Y

The instance 'NODE01:3306' was successfully removed from the cluster metadata.

4) Stop group replication if it is still running on failed node.

mysql> STOP GROUP_REPLICATION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.01 sec)

5) Reset "gtid_executed" on the failed node.

mysql> show global variables like 'GTID_EXECUTED';
+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| gtid_executed | 01f27b9c-182a-11e9-a199-00505692188c:1-14134172,
e2aa897d-1828-11e9-85b3-00505692188c:1-12 |
+---------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> reset master;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> reset slave;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> show global variables like 'GTID_EXECUTED';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| gtid_executed | |
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

6) Disable "super_readonly_flag" on the failed node.

mysql> SELECT @@global.read_only, @@global.super_read_only;
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| @@global.read_only | @@global.super_read_only |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| 1 | 1 |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SET GLOBAL super_read_only = 0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT @@global.read_only, @@global.super_read_only;
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| @@global.read_only | @@global.super_read_only |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| 1 | 0 |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

7) Restore the mysqldump from master on to the failed node.

[root@E2LXQA1ALFDB01 db_backup]# mysql -uroot -p < mysql_dump_03062019.sql

8) Once restore is completed enable "super_readonly_flag" on the failed node.

mysql> SELECT @@global.read_only, @@global.super_read_only;
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| @@global.read_only | @@global.super_read_only |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| 1 | 0 |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SET GLOBAL super_read_only = 1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)


mysql> SELECT @@global.read_only, @@global.super_read_only;
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| @@global.read_only | @@global.super_read_only |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
| 1 | 1 |
+--------------------+--------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

9) Finally add the failed node back to the innodb cluster.

MySQL NODE03:3306 ssl JS > c.addInstance('clusterAdmin@NODE01:3306');
A new instance will be added to the InnoDB cluster. Depending on the amount of
data on the cluster this might take from a few seconds to several hours.
