Hi David,

This sounds strange, and should NOT occur because of a server_id conflict.

Regards,

Jeremy

Thank you.

We had a situation recently where two slaves had a conflicting server ID for several minutes, and shortly thereafter the master started reporting errors which were indicative of data corruption while executing queries. This happened as the CPU usage climbed very rapidly, and ultimately the entire master machine crashed with an out of memory error.

Does this sound like something that could have been caused by a short- lived server ID conflict? All servers involved were running 5.0.27.

Your answers would be most helpful!

Thanks,
David

Hi all,
What do you know about the effect of conflicting slave server IDs on the master in general? And specifically, are you aware of any issues with MySQL 5.0.27?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Repeating the same Server ID in your slave servers is "BAD". It has caused minor problems like duplicate entries on the slaves and major problems like over a TB of error logs in just a few minutes (because of "failure to connect" errors). There are several very good reasons why *each and every* server in a replication setup needs its own, unique server_id. Many of them are discussed in the chapter on Replication:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication.html

To see what has been fixed in MySQL since 5.0.27 was released, please review the change logs documented here:
