NetVault Plug-in for MySQL 11.1 - Release Notes

Upgrade and compatibility

•
Plug‑in for MySQL 11.1 requires NetVault Backup 10.0 or later. For complete supported-platform information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide.
•
Upgrades and new installs of MySQL®: As explained in Bug 68807 for MySQL, http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=68807, mysql_install_db ignores /etc/my.cnf in MySQL 5.6. Because MySQL 5.6 creates InnoDB statistic tables (slave_master_info, mysql/slave_relay_log_info, innodb_index_stats, innodb_table_stats, and slave_worker_info) and adds them to the installation directory (basedir) of MySQL, you might encounter a conflict with the innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:2000M;ibdata2:10M:autoextend option contained in the “my.cnf” file. The file_path option places the InnoDB files one directory level higher than the basedir, which can cause the following error to appear in the MySQL error log:
"[Warning] InnoDB: Cannot open table mysql/slave_master_info from the internal
data dictionary of InnoDB though the .frm file for the table exists. See
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-troubleshooting.html for how you
can resolve the problem."
Until you address this error, the plug-in cannot browse the main MySQL database, and the following error appears: "Failed to fetch row from query result: showtable status like 'innodb\_index\_stats'"
It can also cause backup jobs to hang.
Because this option originated from a recommended sample “my.cnf” file for an earlier version of MySQL, this issue usually occurs on upgrades or new installs that retained the earlier version of the “my.cnf” file. Dell recommends that you do not use the file_path option on new installations and that you move the ibdata files to basedir for upgrades. For assistance, contact MySQL Support. (22367)
