16.1.5.5 Starting Multi-Source Replicas
Once you have added channels for all of the sources, issue a START SLAVE
statement to start replication. When you have enabled multiple channels on a replica, you can choose to either start all channels, or select a specific channel to start. For example, to start the two channels separately, use the mysql client to issue the following statements:
mysql> START SLAVE FOR CHANNEL "source_1";
mysql> START SLAVE FOR CHANNEL "source_2";
For the full syntax of the START SLAVE
command and other available options, see Section 13.4.2.5, “START SLAVE Statement”.
To verify that both channels have started and are operating correctly, you can issue SHOW SLAVE STATUS
statements on the replica, for example:
mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS FOR CHANNEL "source_1"\G
mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS FOR CHANNEL "source_2"\G
