Introduction
In this manual we will show you how to implement a MySQL VOMS server replication: you need one master server, on which you can perform writing operations, and you can have from 1 to "n" replica servers that will work in read-only mode. In such a scenario you can do a whatever intervention on one of the servers without breaking the service, i.e. proxies creation and grid-mapfile downloads: just the users registration and the usual VOs management operations might be forbidden during an intervention on the master server (because it is the only server in writing mode).
This failover procedure is simply based on mysql replication therefore every mysql setting is referred to the current mysql verions (5.0.77 in this moment)
