The steps to expand the existing root EBS volume for an EBS-backed instance:
* Stop the instance.
* Create a snapshot of the root EBS volume.
* Create an ESB volume from that snapshot with the new desired size. (Please ensure it is in the same AZ as the instance)
* Detach the root EBS volume and attach the newly created EBS volume to /dev/sda1 on the instance.
* Start the instance and then login.
* Enter 'df -h' to see the current size of the root volume.
* Enter 'sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1' to get the rest of the expanded disk.
* Enter 'df -h' again to see the new size of the root volume.
Here are useful commands one can use while working with partitions.
CREATE TABLE `data_summary` (

This is the table without any partitions. We need to use alter table statement to divide it.

We can not add partitions to the earlier date range. For e.g. when I try to add a partition at lower end, March 13 and March 14 it does not work.
ALTER TABLE `data_summary`
REORGANIZE PARTITION 20120315parti INTO (
PARTITION 20120313parti VALUES less than (to_seconds('2012-03-13 00:00:00')),
PARTITION 20120314parti VALUES less than (to_seconds('2012-03-14 00:00:00'))

ERROR 1520 (HY000): Reorganize of range partitions cannot change total ranges except for last partition where it can extend the range
If you really need to create partitions for older days, it is still possible to drop and recreate all partitions as explained below.
_____
But we can add partitions at the higher end.
ALTER TABLE `data_summary`
REORGANIZE PARTITION maxParti INTO (
PARTITION 20120416parti VALUES less than (to_seconds('2012-04-16 00:00:00')),
PARTITION maxParti VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE)
);
So we are taking data from the "maxParti" partition and splitting it up in April 16 partition and rest again in "maxParti" partition.
_____
We can merge the data of March 15, 16 and 17 into a single partition called "20120315TO17parti"
ALTER TABLE `data_summary`
REORGANIZE PARTITION 20120315parti, 20120316parti, 20120317parti INTO (
PARTITION 20120315TO17parti VALUES less than (to_seconds('2012-03-17 00:00:00'))
);
_____
We can totally change the way the data is divided by merging and splitting records all over again.
ALTER TABLE `data_summary`
REORGANIZE PARTITION
20120315TO17parti, 20120318parti, 20120319parti, 20120320parti, 20120321parti, 20120322parti, 20120323parti, 20120324parti, 20120325parti, 20120326parti, 20120327parti, 20120328parti, 20120329parti, 20120330parti, 20120331parti, 20120401parti, 20120402parti, 20120403parti, 20120404parti, 20120405parti, 20120406parti, 20120407parti, 20120408parti, 20120409parti, 20120410parti, 20120411parti, 20120412parti, 20120413parti, 20120414parti, 20120415parti, 20120416parti, maxParti
INTO (
PARTITION 20120313parti VALUES less than (to_seconds('2012-03-13 00:00:00')),
PARTITION 20120314parti VALUES less than (to_seconds('2012-03-14 00:00:00')),
PARTITION 20120315parti VALUES less than (to_seconds('2012-03-15 00:00:00')),
PARTITION 20120316parti VALUES less than (to_seconds('2012-03-16 00:00:00')),
PARTITION maxParti VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE)

So the newly organized table will look like this...

We can complete drop the partition along with the data by altering the table.
ALTER TABLE data_summary DROP PARTITION 20120313parti;
We can also truncate the data within a single or multiple partitions.
ALTER TABLE data_summary TRUNCATE PARTITION 20120314parti, 20120315parti;
I have a tab separated text file as follows that needs to be imported in MySQL. The table however has only 3 columns while the text file being imported as 4 columns.
Here is an example file that has been generated using "select into outfile" syntax. It creates a tab delimited outfile.
# cat extract.txt
1 shantanu mumbai, india
2 sameer NY, USA
3 amar jamnagar, ahmadabad
4 akbar Hyderabad forth column
1) I can still use "load data" command and mysql will ignore the forth column and show a warning about what it has done.
2) You can use column names while importing data. Use variable for e.g. @some_text to suppress that column.
3) You can do calculations / replacements using "set" keyword in load data statement.
Here is how to convert the IP addresses to Integer numeric values.

It is better to have a single key-pair file across all regions so that it will be easy to connect to any server.
The following script will copy your rsa key to all regions and the key name will be "common_developer".
#!/bin/sh
# upload a key that can be used across all regions
private_key='pk-developer.pem'
cert='cert-developer.pem'
cat > common_developer.rsa << "my_devkey"
ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz ... G41MT-S2
my_devkey
regions=$(ec2-describe-regions --private-key pk-developer.pem --cert cert-developer.pem | cut -f2)
for region in $regions; do
echo $region
ec2-import-keypair --region $region --private-key pk-developer.pem --cert cert-developer.pem --public-key-file common_developer.rsa common_developer
done
You can now use this file while connecting to a server using the following command.
ssh -i common_developer.pem root@ec2-1-2-3-4.sa-east-1.compute.amazonaws.com
This applies to the servers initiated with this new key-pair. For old servers you will need to copy the rsa key manually.
Labels: aws, shell script
When there are several servers those you may need to connect, it is easier to create a single file instead of several executables.
case $1 in
"development") ssh -i development.pem 1.2.3.4 ; break;;
"production") ssh -i production.pem ec2-111-222-333-444.compute-1.amazonaws.com; break;;
*) echo "Sorry, I can not connect, please check server name ";;

Make note of the volume-id and device it’s connected to, eg: vol-abcd1234 and /dev/sdf also make a note of the ramdisk and kernel your running instance is using.
They’ll be something like “ari-12345678″ and “aki-abcdef12″.
# ec2-create-snapshot vol-abcd1234
That’ll give you a snapshot-id back. You then need to wait for the snapshot to finish. Keep running this until it says it’s “completed”:
# ec2-describe-snapshots snap-1234abcd
Finally, you can register the snapshot as an AMI:
# ec2-register –snapshot snap-1234abcd –description “your description here” –name “something-significant-here” –ramdisk ari-12345678 –kernel aki-abcdef12

Let's assume the table ox_data_summary from the database companyDB is out of sync with master and we need to quickly update it. These 4 commands (1 on master and 3 on slave) will update 40 million records in less than 3 minutes. Make sure that the table is MyISAM and no thread is writing to this table on master or else you will copy the inconsistent data.
On Master:
time rsync -e 'ssh -i /root/vservmys3rv3r.pem' -avz /mysql/vserv/ox_data_summary.* ec2-107-21-74-91.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/mysql/test/
_____
On slave:
mysql test -e" flush table test.ox_data_summary"
mysql companydb -e"drop table companydb.ox_data_summary"
mysql companydb -e"rename table test.ox_data_summary to companydb.ox_data_summary"
You may need to change the companydb to vserv or any other schema name.
We can take the count and check if it matches with the master:
mysql test -e" select count(*) from test.ox_data_summary"
We can also do the same in 2 commands by copying data directly to /mysql/vserv/ folder on slave.
