Binary tarball file names available based on the Percona Server for MySQL version

For later version of Percona Server for MySQL, the tar files are organized by the glibc2 version. You can find this version on your operating system with the following command:

$ ldd --version
Expected output
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.35-0ubuntu3.1) 2.35

If the glibc2 version from your operating system is not listed, then this Percona Server for MySQL version does not support that operating system.

Red Hat Enterprise 9 Percona-Server-Pro-8.0.35-27-Linux.x86_64.glibc2.34-minimal.tar.gz glibc2.34

The types of files are the following:

Type Name Description
Full Percona-Server-Pro-<version-number>-Linux.x86_64.<glibc2-version>.tar.gz Contains all files available
Minimal Percona-Server-Pro<version-number>-Linux.x86_64.<glibc2-version>.minimal.tar.gz Contains binaries and libraries

Implemented in Percona for MySQL 8.0.26-16, the following binary tarballs are available for the MyRocks ZenFS installation. See Installing and configuring Percona Server for MySQL with ZenFS support for more information and the installation procedure.

Type Name Description
Full Percona-Server-<version number>-Linux.x86_64.<glibc-version>-zenfs.tar.gz Contains the binaries, libraries, test files, and debug symbols
Minimal Percona-Server-<version number>-Linux.x86_64.<glibc-version>-zenfs-minimal.tar.gz Contains the binaries and libraries but does not include test files or debug symbols

At this time, you can enable the ZenFS plugin in the following distributions:

Distribution Name Notes
Debian 11.1 Able to run the ZenFS plugin
Ubuntu 20.04.3 Requires the 5.11 HWE kernel patched with the allow blk-zoned ioctls without CAPT_SYS_ADMIN patch

If you do not enable the ZenFS functionality on Ubuntu 20.04, the binaries with ZenFS support can run on the standard 5.4 kernel. Other Linux distributions are adding support for ZenFS, but Percona does not provide installation packages for those distributions.

The multiple binary tarballs from earlier versions are replaced with the following:

Type Name Operating systems Description
Full Percona-Server-<version number>-Linux.x86_64.glibc2.12.tar.gz Built for CentOS 6 Contains binaries, libraries, test files, and debug symbols
Minimal Percona-Server-<version number>-Linux.x86_64.glibc2.12-minimal.tar.gz Built for CentOS 6 Contains binaries and libraries but does not include test files, or debug symbols
Full Percona-Server-<version number>-Linux.x86_64.glibc2.17.tar.gz Compatible with any supported operating system except for CentOS 6 Contains binaries, libraries, test files, and debug symbols
Minimal Percona-Server-<version number>-Linux.x86_64.glibc2.17-minimal.tar.gz Compatible with any supported operating system except for CentOS 6 Contains binaries and libraries but does not include test files or debug symbols

The tarball file has the following characteristics:

Type Name Description
Full Percona-Server-<version-number>-Linux.x86_64.<glibc2-version>.tar.gz Contains all files available
Minimal Percona-Server-<version-number>-Linux.x86_64.<glibc2-version>.minimal.tar.gz Contains binaries and libraries
Debug Percona-Server-<version-number>-Linux.x86_64.<glibc2-version>.debug.tar.gz Contains the minimal build files and test files, and debug symbols

For Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.19-10 and earlier, multiple tarballs are provided based on the OpenSSL library available in the distribution:

  • ssl100 - for Debian prior to 9 and Ubuntu prior to 14.04 versions (libssl.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0);

  • ssl102 - for Debian 9 and Ubuntu versions starting from 14.04 (libssl.so.1.1 => /usr/lib/libssl.sl.1.1)

  • ssl101 - for CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 (libssl.so.10 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10);
