After simply launching a slave template the DB is still empty and not connected to the master. Contents initialization and replication start needs to be executed as a separate action.
Instructions
- Go to your deployment (Manage -> Deployments).
- Find the slave MySQL DB instance ("MySQL Additional" server template) and click the Launch button.
What feedback to expect
A notification on the Recent Events pane should indicate that the master DB image is pending.
To confirm it, we can:
- Access the list of active servers (Manage -> Servers)
- Locate the new 'pending' instance.
- Click on its nickname to see its full information.
- Make sure that the template field matches the name and version you launched (e.g., MySQL Additional v?) and that the creation time matches the time you launched it.
