🔍

Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Conflicting Server ID
The 'server_id' configured on the recipient MySQL instance is identical to the donor instance's 'server_id', which is not allowed for a successful cloning operation.
⚠️
Mismatched Data Directory
The 'datadir' setting on the recipient instance is either identical to or conflicts with the donor's data directory, preventing the clone from proceeding safely.
⚠️
Incompatible GTID Configuration
The Global Transaction Identifiers (GTID) configuration (e.g., 'gtid_mode') differs between the donor and recipient, which can prevent the cloning operation.
⚠️
Other Vital Configuration Discrepancies
Other critical MySQL server configuration parameters might have conflicting values between the donor and recipient, causing the clone operation to fail.
