fabric的默认配置文件路径为/usr/local/etc/mysql/fabric.cfg，其他安装方法会是/etc/mysql/fabric.cfg（其他系统根据自己情况配置）因此为了方便后面的操作，我们还是使用这个配置文件，当然也可以用--config 参数指定配置文件。
fabric.cfg内容如下：
[DEFAULT]
prefix = /usr/local
sysconfdir = /usr/local/etc
logdir = /var/log
# storage 配置的是fabric元数据存储的数据库
[storage]
address = localhost:10000
user = fabric
password = 123456
database = fabric
auth_plugin = mysql_native_password
connection_timeout = 6
connection_attempts = 6
connection_delay = 1
[servers]
user = fabric
password = 123456
backup_user = fabric_backup
backup_password = secret
restore_user = fabric_restore
restore_password = secret
unreachable_timeout = 5
# fabric对外的协议，这里是xmlrpc协议
[protocol.xmlrpc]
address = localhost:32274
threads = 5
user = admin
password = 123456
disable_authentication = yes
realm = MySQL Fabric
ssl_ca =
ssl_cert =
ssl_key =
# fabric对外的协议，这里是mysql协议，能用mysql连接，但是不能跟普通数据库一样操作
[protocol.mysql]
address = localhost:32275
user = admin
password = 123456
disable_authentication = yes
ssl_ca =
ssl_cert =
ssl_key =
[executor]
executors = 5
[logging]
level = INFO
url = file:///var/log/fabric.log
[sharding]
mysqldump_program = /usr/bin/mysqldump
mysqlclient_program = /usr/bin/mysql
[statistics]
prune_time = 3600
[failure_tracking]
notifications = 300
notification_clients = 50
notification_interval = 60
failover_interval = 0
detections = 3
detection_interval = 6
detection_timeout = 1
prune_time = 3600
[connector]
ttl = 1
配置好后，需要初始化fabric的元数据
$ mysqlfabric manage setup
。。。。。。
Finishing initial setup
=======================
Password for admin user is not yet set.
Password for admin/xmlrpc: 这里需要设置admin的密码
Repeat Password: 重复输入密码
Password set.
Password set.
这时fa00这个数据库已经有了fabric的元数据，我们可以用mysql客户端查看。
然后启动
$ mysqlfabric manage start
自此虽然启动了fabric，但是还没有和前面配置的后两个业务数据库产生联系，接下来我们需要用命令行建立联系。我先看一下mysqlfabric的分组相关帮助，
$ mysqlfabric help group
Commands available in group 'group' are:
group activate group_id [--synchronous]
group description group_id [--description=NONE] [--synchronous]
group deactivate group_id [--synchronous]
group create group_id [--description=NONE] [--synchronous]
group remove group_id server_id [--synchronous]
group add group_id address [--timeout=NONE] [--update_only] [--synchronous]
group health group_id
group lookup_servers group_id [--server_id=NONE] [--status=NONE] [--mode=NONE]
group destroy group_id [--synchronous]
group demote group_id [--update_only] [--synchronous]
group promote group_id [--slave_id=NONE] [--update_only] [--synchronous]
group lookup_groups [--group_id=NONE]
我们首先需要创建一个组group-1：
$ mysqlfabric group create group-1
然后将两个业务数据库10011和10012放入这个组中：
$ mysqlfabric group add group-1 127.0.0.1:10011
$ mysqlfabric group add group-1 127.0.0.1:10012
然后可以查看这时group-1这个组的状态
$ mysqlfabric group lookup_servers group-1
Fabric UUID: 5ca1ab1e-a007-feed-f00d-cab3fe13249e
Time-To-Live: 1
server_uuid address status mode weight
------------------------------------ --------------- --------- --------- ------
d4919ca2-754a-11e5-8a5e-34238703623c 127.0.0.1:10011 SECONDARY READ_ONLY 1.0
d6597f06-754a-11e5-8a5e-34238703623c 127.0.0.1:10012 SECONDARY READ_ONLY 1.0
从status 和 mode 这两个字段可以看出，这个时候刚加入的两个服务器还没有正式生效，都是作为从库只读的身份，两个库还没有建立实质的联系，我们需要将其中一个数据库提升为可写的主：
$ mysqlfabric group promote group-1
$ mysqlfabric group lookup_servers group-1
Fabric UUID: 5ca1ab1e-a007-feed-f00d-cab3fe13249e
Time-To-Live: 1
server_uuid address status mode weight
------------------------------------ --------------- --------- ---------- ------
d4919ca2-754a-11e5-8a5e-34238703623c 127.0.0.1:10011 SECONDARY READ_ONLY 1.0
d6597f06-754a-11e5-8a5e-34238703623c 127.0.0.1:10012 PRIMARY READ_WRITE 1.0
