NAME

       MySQL::Sandbox::Recipes - A cookbook for MySQL Sandbox

PURPOSE

       This package is a collection of HOW-TO brief tutorials and recipes for MySQL Sandbox

Installing MySQL::Sandbox

       All the recipes here need the MySQL Sandbox <http://launchpad.net/mysql-sandbox>.
       Therefore you need to install it, to be able to follow these recipes.  For a general
       description of the application, see MySQL::Sandbox.  A presentation on this matter is
       available at Slideshare <http://www.slideshare.net/datacharmer/mysql-sandbox-3>

   the easy way - as root
       This is so easy, that I am almost ashamed to show it.  Anyway, here goes.

         $ sudo su -
         # cpan MySQL::Sandbox

   the ambitious way - as unprivileged user
       It is not difficult, but it requires some steps that depend on your environment.  To
       simplify the example, let's assume that you are using perl 5.8.8 and you want to install
       in $HOME/usr/local.

       1. Download MySQL Sandbox tarball from cpan

       2. Set the variables that you will need

              mkdir -p $HOME/usr/local
              export PATH=$HOME/usr/local/bin:$PATH
              export PERL5LIB=$HOME/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8

       3. Build and install

              perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/usr/local
              make
              make test
              make install

       It is a bit complex, but you need to do the setup only once. After that, you can use MySQL
       Sandbox in your user space.

       Another solution, which can be habdy if you use a box without Perl and without root
       access, is to install Perl in your user space, and then you can use CPAN to install any
       package in your user space.

SINGLE SERVER RECIPES

   Creating a single sandbox
       1. Download or build a MySQL server tarball. Its name is something like
             mysql-X.X.X-Your_Operating_System.tar.gz

       2. Make the sandbox

              make_sandbox /path/to/mysql-X.X.X-Your_Operating_System.tar.gz

          Notice that this command will expand the tarball into a directory "X.X.X", located in
          the same path where tghe tarball is. If you want to expand in a centralized directory,
          see the next recipe.

          If you have already a centralized repository for your binaries (see next recipe), then
          you can create a sandbox even more easily:

            make_sandbox 5.1.34
            make_replication_sandbox 5.1.34

   Easily creating more sandboxes after the first one
       If you want to reuse the same binaries more than once, you can set up a repository for
       such binaries, under $SANDBOX_BINARY, which by default is $HOME/opt/mysql If you have such
       a directory, you have two choices.

       manually
          Expand the tarball, and move it under $HOME/opt/mysql (or set $SANDBOX_BINARY to a path
          that suits you better). Name the directory with the version number. For example:

             cd $HOME/opt/mysql
             gunzip -c /path/to/mysql-5.1.34-osx10.5-x86.tar.gz | tar -xf -
             mv mysql-5.1.34-osx10.5-x86 5.1.34

          Now, next time you want to install a sandbox using 5.1.34, all you need to do is say

            make_sandbox 5.1.34

       automatically
          If you want to combine installation and centralization of the binaries in one go, you
          can:

              make_sandbox --export_binaries /path/to/mysql-5.1.34-osx10.5-x86.tar.gz

          The expanded tarball is copied to the $SANDBOX_BINARY path, and you can refer to the
          version number only for future installations.

   Using a single sandbox
       When you create a sandbox, the last line of the application output tells you where it was
       created.  If you don't remember where it is, the default location is
       $HOME/sandboxes/msb_X_X_XX, where X_X_XX is the version number. For example if you have
       installed

           make_sandbox 5.1.34

       your sandbox is under $HOME/sandboxes/msb_5_1_34.

       To use it, move to that directory and invoke the "./use" script. This script is a shortcut
       to invoke the mysql command line client, with all the appropriate parameters.

         ./msb_5_1_34/use
         Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
         Your MySQL connection id is 1
         Server version: 5.1.34 MySQL Community Server (GPL)
         .
         Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
         .
         mysql [localhost] {msandbox} ((none)) >

       The default user is 'msandbox' and the password is 'msandbox'. The same password is also
       used by the 'root' account.

       The 'use' script accepts all the additional options and commands that you would use with
       the mysql client. For example:

         ./use -e 'show schemas'
          +--------------------+
          | Database           |
          +--------------------+
          | information_schema |
          | mysql              |
          | test               |
          +--------------------+

         ./use -N -B -e 'select version()'
         5.1.34

       You don't need to be inside the sandbox to use this script. You can invoke it with a
       relative or absolute path.

           $HOME/sandboxes/msb_5_1_34/use -e 'select version()'
           +-----------+
           | version() |
           +-----------+
           | 5.1.34    |
           +-----------+

       Notice that this script is created when the sandbox is installed. It is heavily customized
       for that sandbox only, and it is not replaceable by the same script from another sandbox.
       Even if you move it to another directory, it will still refer to the sandbox in which it
       was created. See 'moving a sandbox' for a safe way of moving a sandbox with all its
       scripts to a different directory.

   Creating a single sandbox with user-defined port and directory
       When you create a sandbox, you can fine tune the final product by adding options. You can
       list of all the available options easily:

           low_level_make_sandbox --help

       You can pass any of the options listed to "make_sandbox". In particular, since we need to
       change the port and directory, here's the deed:

         make_sandbox 5.1.34
         # installs on $SANDBOX_HOME/msb_5_1_34 with port 5134

         make_sandbox 5.1.34 -- --sandbox_port=7800 --sandbox_directory=mickeymouse
         # installs on $SANDBOX_HOME/mickeymouse with port 7800

       See the next recipe for an automatic way of getting a different port and directory.

   Creating a single sandbox with automatic port checking
         make_sandbox 5.1.34 -- --check_port

       This option will check if port 5134 is used. If it is, it will check the next available
       port, until it finds a free one.  In the previous statement context, 'free' means not only
       'in use', but also allocated by another sandbox that is currently not running.  If the
       directory msb_5_1_34 is used, the sandbox is created in msb_5_1_34_a. The application
       keeps checking for free ports and unused directories until it finds a suitable
       combination.  Notice that this option is disabled when you use a group sandbox
       (replication or multiple). Even if you set NODE_OPTIONS=--check_port, it won't be used,
       because every group sandbox invokes make_sandbox with the --no_check_port option.

   Creating a single sandbox with a specific option file
         make_sandbox 5.1.34 -- --my_file=large

       This option installs the option file template my-large.cnf, which ships with every MySQL
       release.  Similarly, you can choose 'small' or 'huge' to load the appropriate template.
       If you have your favorite option file, you can specify the full path to it

         make_sandbox 5.1.34 -- --my_file=/path/to/my_smart.cnf

       In all cases, the sandbox installer skips all the options that are necessary to keep the
       sandbox isolated and efficient (user, port,socket,datadir,basedir).

   Creating a single sandbox from a source directory
       After you have compiled MySQL from source, you can create a sandbox with the new binaries:

         make_sandbox_from_source $PWD single [options]

       The options are the same that you can pass to make_sandbox.  This script creates a
       tarball, and then invokes make_sandbox to finish the job.

   Starting or restarting a single sandbox with temporary options
       Every single server sandbox has a 'start' script, which does what the name suggests. Not
       only that, but you can start a sandbox with additional parameters for the mysqld daemon.

         ./start --key-buffer=3G

       The 'restart' script accepts parameters in the same way. While 'start' only works when the
       sandboxed server is not running, 'restart' makes sure that the server is stopped, and then
       invokes 'start' with the optional parameters.

   Stopping a sandbox
       Inside every single sandbox there are two scripts that can stop a sandbox.

         ./stop

       The 'stop' script attempts a clean stop, using mysqladmin. This works most of the time,
       especially if you are using a GA release.

         ./send_kill

       The 'send_kill' script achieve the same result, but with a different path. First, it tries
       to stop the sandboxed server nicely, by sending a "kill -15" to the server PID. If this
       fails, after a reasonable timeout, it sends a deadly "kill -9" and removes the PID file.
       This brutal method is not recommended for general usage, but it is sometimes necessary
       when dealing with servers in early stages of their development.

   Cleaning up a sandbox
         ./clear

       The 'clear' script will empty the data directory, trying to clean the system as much as
       possible.  If the server is running when you invoke the script, it will issue a "drop
       database" query for each schema. It will also truncate the general and slow query log
       tables, if they exist.  If the server is not running, 'clear' will clean up the data
       directory as best as it can. Notice however that invoking 'clear' when the server is not
       running will not remove stored routines and events.  WARNING! No confirmation is asked!
       The data will be gone in 1 second.

   Copying sandbox contents to another
       Using 'sbtool', the Sandbox helper, this task is easy to perform.  You need two sandboxes.
       This command cannnot copy to an arbitrary directory, but only to an existing sandbox.  The
       first sandbox is where the data is stored. You need to use the "--source_dir" option (or
       "-s" for short). The second directory, identified with "--dest_dir", (or "-d") is the
       place where the data is copied.  WARNING! the destination data is overwritten!  This
       command skips binary logs, relay logs, and general logs.

         sbtool -o copy \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox \
           -d /path/to/destination/sandbox

       Some important points to remember:

       •  This command only copies from a single sandbox to another. If you want to copy from a
          masterto several slaves, you need to run the command multiple times.

       •  Before copying, this command stops both source and destination sandbox.

   Moving a sandbox
         sbtool -o move \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox \
           -d /path/to/destination/directory

       This command stops the sandbox, moves it to the requested directory, and then changes all
       the paths in the scripts, to refer to the new directory.

       If the destination directory already exists, the command fails.

   Changing port to an existing sandbox
         sbtool -o port \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox \
           --new_port=XXXX

       THis is similar to moving a sandbox, except that the directory is not changed. The sandbox
       is stopped, and the port changed in all the scripts.

   Removing a sandbox completely
         sbtool -o delete \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox

       This is a combination of using the 'clear' script and removing the sandbox.  There is a
       safety check, though. If the sandbox is a permanent one (see next recipe), the operation
       aborts.  Otherwise, the script calls 'clear' (clear_all if it is a group sandbox) and then
       removes all the contents.

       WARNING! No confirmation is asked! The data will be gone in 1 second.

   Making a sandbox permanent
       MySQL Sandbox has been created with testing in mind. As such, the sandboxes are
       expendable, and there are some commands to get rid of them easily and quickly.  However,
       you don't want always to do this.  Sometimes, you need to keep the data for some time, to
       record it, or to copy it somewhere, or to use it for some similar testing. Whatever the
       reason, in these cases you don't want your data to disappear accidentally.  The 'preserve'
       command, part of the sbtool, disables the 'clear' script in your sandbox, to avoid
       unpleasant "oh no" moments.  Notice that nothing will protect you against hastily typed
       'DROP DATABASE' queries! If you really need your data around, make a copy!

         sbtool -o preserve \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox

       If you change your mind, invoking sbtool with the 'unpreserve' operation, makes the
       sandbox erasable again.

         sbtool -o unpreserve \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox

   Starting and stopping a sandbox when the host server starts
       There is no built-in solution for this recipe. Every operating system has its own method
       to launch applications at start up.  The important point is that probably you don't need
       it. MySQL Sandbox is a tool for testing, aiming at creating temporary MySQL servers, and
       as such you should not need to launch a sandbox at start up.  If you really need it, the
       MySQL manual explain how to launch at startup the main instance of the database.

   Installing a sandbox from already installed binaries
         make_sandbox_from_installed VERSION [options]

       This script (introduced in 2.0.99e) creates a repository of symbolic links from already
       installed binaries, arranging them in a way that the MySQL Sandbox easily recognizes.  You
       should move to a directory where you want to keep this repository, before invoking this
       script. For example:

         mkdir -p $HOME/opt/mysql
         cd $HOME/opt/mysql
         make_sandbox_from_installed 5.1.34 --no_confirm

       After this call, you can then install sandboxes (single or multiple) with a simple

         make_{replication_|multiple_}sandbox 5.1.34

MULTIPLE SERVER RECIPES

   Creating a standard replication sandbox
         make_replication_sandbox /path/to/tarball5.1.34.tar.gz

       As easy as making a single sandbox, this command creates a replication system with one
       master an two slaves.  If you have set the repository under $SANDBOX_BINARY (see "Easily
       creating more sandboxes after the first one"), then you can also say

         make_replication_sandbox 5.1.34

       If you want a different number of slaves, you can add an option

         make_replication_sandbox --how_many_slaves=5 5.1.34

   Using a replication sandbox
       When you create a replication sandbox, the last line of the application output tells you
       where it was created.  If you don't remember where it is, the default location is
       $HOME/sandboxes/rsandbox_X_X_XX, where X_X_XX is the version number. For example if you
       have installed

           make_replication_sandbox 5.1.34

       your sandbox is under $HOME/sandboxes/rsandbox_5_1_34.

       To use it, move to that directory and invoke one of these scripts:

         * ./m  for the master
         * ./s1 for the first slave
         * ./s2 for the second slave, s3 for the third one, and so on
         * ./use_all to send a command to the master and all slaves
         * ./check_slaves to see as a quick glance if the slaves are working

       All the above scripts are shortcuts to the 'use' script in the appropriate directory.  The
       'use' script was described in the section dedicated to single server recipes.

   Creating a circular replication sandbox
       To create a circular replication system, you use the same command used for standard
       replication, but you add an option to indicate that you want a circular topology.

        make_replication_sandbox --circular=4 /path/to/tarball5.1.34.tar.gz

       The above command creates a system with 4 nodes, where node 1 is master of 2, node 2 is
       master of 3, node 3 is master of 4, and node 4, to close the circle, is master of 1.

       If you have a binary repository under $SANDBOX_BINARY, you can use the simplified call:

        make_replication_sandbox --circular=4 5.1.34

   Using a circular sandbox
       Same as using a replication sandbox (see above), but there are no 'm' and 's#' scripts.
       Instead, there are 'n#' scripts, to access node 1 (n1), node 2, (n2) and so on.  You may
       try this:

         $ ./n1 -e 'create table test.t1 (i int)'
         $ ./n3 -e 'insert into test.t1 values (3)'
         $ ./use_all 'select * from test.t1'
         # server: 1:
         i
         3
         # server: 2:
         i
         3
         # server: 3:
         i
         3
         # server: 4:
         i
         3

   Creating a group of unrelated sandboxes (same version)
         make_multiple_sandbox /path/to/tarball
         make_multiple_sandbox --how_many_nodes=4 /path/to/tarball

       A group of unrelated sandboxes is a set of three or more servers installed under the same
       directory.  What is the purpose of this? It is useful whenever you need to play with
       several servers without being tied by the master/slave relationship.  One possible reason
       is to try new replication schemes with a clean setup. Or you may want to test the
       Federated engine.  Another common usage is when you need to test different approaches to
       the same problem, and you want to compare results quickly.

   Creating a group of unrelated sandboxes (different versions)
         make_multiple_custom_sandbox /path/to/tarball5.1.34 /path/to/tarball5.0.77
         make_multiple_custom_sandbox 5.1.34 5.0.77 5.4.0

       Similar to the previous one, the composite group is a collection of servers of different
       versions, all under the same directory.  It can be useful when you want to compare some
       scheme in different versions, and automate the operations as much as possible.

   Using a group of sandboxes
       Same as using a replication sandbox (see above), but there are no 'm' and 's#' scripts.
       Instead, there are 'n#' scripts, to access node 1 (n1), node 2, (n2) and so on.

       A group of sandboxes is easily manged with the 'use_all' script.  For example, you may
       want to pass a SQL instruction to all the servers

         ./use_all 'select something from dbname.tablename where x=1'

       Or you want to execute a SQL script for each server

         ./use_all 'source somescript.sql'

       The internal organization of the directory makes it easy to do more complex operations
       with all the servers within the group. For example, if you want to measure the speed of
       execution of the same statement for each server (assuming that you have different setups
       for each one), you can create a shell script:

         ./stop_all
         for N in 1 2 3
         do
           echo "processing node $N"
           ./node$N/start --some_mysqld_option=somevalue
           time ./node$N/use -e 'select something_heavy from somedb.sometable'
           ./node$N/stop
         done

   Creating a group sandbox with port checking
       When you create a multiple sandbox (make_replication_sandbox, make_multiple_sandbox,
       make_multiple_custom_sandbox) the default behavior is to overwrite the existing sandbox
       without asking for confirmation.  The rationale is that a multiple sandbox is definitely
       more likely to be a created only for testing purposes, and overwriting it should not be a
       problem.  If you want to avoid overwriting, you can specify a different group name
       ("--replication_directory" "--group_directory"), but this will use the same base port
       number, unless you specify "--check_base_port".

        make_replication_sandbox 5.0.79
        # Creates a replication directory under $SANDBOX_HOME/rsandbox_5_0_79
        # The default base_port is 7000

        make_replication_sandbox 5.0.79
        # Creates a replication directory under $SANDBOX_HOME/rsandbox_5_0_79
        # overwriting the previous one. The default base port is still 7000

        # WRONG
        make_replication_sandbox --check_base_port 5.0.79
        # Creates a replication directory under $SANDBOX_HOME/rsandbox_5_0_79
        # overwriting the previous one.

        # WRONG
        make_replication_sandbox --replication_directory=newdir 5.0.79
        # Created a replication directory under $SANDBOX_HOME/newdir.
        # The previous one is preserved, but the new sandbox does not start
        # because of port conflict.

        # RIGHT
        make_replication_sandbox --replication_directory=newwdir \
           --check_base_port 5.0.79
        # Creates a replication directory under $SANDBOX_HOME/newdir
        # The previous one is preserved. No conflicts happen

   Creating a group sandbox with a specific option file
       When you create a group sandbox, make_sanbox is invoked several times, with a predefined
       set of options. You can add options for each node by means of environmental variables.  If
       you create a replication sandbox, you can set different options for the master and for the
       slaves:

         export MASTER_OPTIONS="--my_file=huge"
         export SLAVE_OPTIONS="--my_file=large"
         make_replication_sandbox 5.1.34

         export MASTER_OPTIONS="--my_file=/path/to/my.cnf"
         export SLAVE_OPTIONS="--my_file=/path/to/my_other.cnf"
         make_replication_sandbox 5.1.34

       If you don't need the distinction, then you can define the same option for all nodes at
       once:

         export NODE_OPTIONS="--my_file=large"
         make_replication_sandbox 5.1.34

       For non-replication group sandboxes (or for circular replication), $NODE_OPTION is the
       appropriate way of setting options.

         export NODE_OPTIONS="--my_file=large"
         make_multiple_sandbox 5.1.34

   Creating a group sandbox from a source directory
       Same as for a single sandbox, but use the 'replication' or 'multiple' keyword when calling
       the script.

         make_sandbox_from_source $PWD replication [options]
         make_sandbox_from_source $PWD multiple [options]

   Starting or restarting a group sandbox with temporary options
       When you want to restart a group of sandboxes with some temporary options, all you need to
       do is to pass the option to the command line of ./start_all (if the group was not running)
       or ./restart_all.

         ./start_all --mysqld=mysqld-debug --gdb
         ./restart_all --max-allowed-packet=20M

   Stopping a group sandbox
       The natural way of stopping a group of sandboxes is to invoke the "stop_all" script. This
       will work as expected most of the time.

         ./stop_all

       If you are dealing with a potentially unresponsive server (for example when testing alpha
       code), then you may use "send_kill_all", which will attempt a gentle stop first, and then
       kill the server brutally, if it does not respond after a predefined timeout of 10 seconds.

         ./send_kill_all

   Cleaning up a group sandbox
       To revert a group sandbox to its original state, the quickest way is to call "clear_all",
       which will invoke the "clear" script in every depending single sandbox.

         ./clear_all

       In a replication sandbox, this command will also remove all replication settings. For this
       reason, "clear_all" creates a dummy file called "needs_initialization", containing the
       date and time of the cleanup. This is a signal for "start_all" to initialize the slaves at
       the next occurrence. No need for the user to do anything special. The sandbox is self
       healing.

   Moving a group sandbox
       This recipe is the same for single and multiple sandboxes. Using the sbtool will move a
       sandbox in a clean and safe way. All the elements of the sandbox will be changed to adapt
       to the new location.

         sbtool -o move \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox \
           -d /path/to/destination/directory

   Removing a group sandbox completely
       The sbtool can delete completely any sandbox, either single or multiple.

         sbtool -o delete \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox

       This operation will fail if the sandbox has been made permanent. (See next recipe).

   Making a group sandbox permanent
       A sandbox is designed to be easy to create and to throw away, because its primary purpose
       is testing. However, there are cases when you want to keep the contents around for a
       while, and you therefore want to make sure that the sandbox is not cleaned up or deleted
       by mistake. "sbtool" achieves this goal by disabling the "clear_all" script and the
       "clear" script in all depending sandboxes. In this state, also the 'delete' operation
       fails (see previous recipe).

         sbtool -o preserve \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox

       When you need to get rid of the sandbox contents quickly, you can 'unpreserve' it, and the
       clear* scripts will be enabled again.

         sbtool -o unpreserve \
           -s /path/to/source/sandbox

Managing sandboxes in groups

   Using more than one SANDBOX_HOME
       The default $SANDBOX_HOME is $HOME/sandboxes, which is suitable for most purposes. If your
       $HOME is not fit for this task (e.g. if it is located in a NFS partition), you may set a
       different one on the command line or in your shell startup file.

          export SANDBOX_HOME=/my/alternative/directory
          make_sandbox 5.1.34 -- --check_port

       The above procedure is also useful when you, for any reasons, want a completely different
       set of sandboxes for a new batch of tests, and you want to be able to manage all of them
       at once. To avoid conflicts, you should always use the --check_port option.

   Stopping all sandboxes at once
       The $SANDBOX_HOME directory is the place containing all sandboxes, both single and
       multiple. This allows you to stop all of them at once with a single command.

           $SANDBOX_HOME/stop_all

   Starting all sandboxes at once
       Similarly to the previous recipe, you can start all sandboxes at once with a single
       command.

           $SANDBOX_HOME/start_all

       Notice that, if you created two or more sandboxes that use the same port, (create one with
       port X, stop it, create another with port X), there will be a conflict, and the second
       sandbox (and subsequent ones) won't start.

   Running the same query on all active sandboxes
       This is a quick way of getting a result from every sandbox under $SANDBOX_HOME. The query
       passed to "use_all" will be passed to every "use" or "use_all" scripts of the depending
       sandboxes.

           $SANDBOX_HOME/use_all 'select something_cool'

       If you want to run several queries from a script, use the "source" keyword:

           $SANDBOX_HOME/use_all 'source /full/path/to/script.sql'

Testing with sandboxes

   Running the built-in test suite
       Download and expand the MySQL Sandbox package

           perl Makefile.PL
           make
           TEST_VERSION=/path/to/mysql/tarball make test
           # or
           TEST_VERSION=5.1.34 make test

       The TEST_VERSION environment variable contains a version or the path to a tarball used by
       the test suite. If no test version is provided, most of the tests are skipped.  The test
       suite creates a private SANDBOX_HOME under ./t/test_sb. All the sandboxes needed for the
       test are executed there. If something goes wrong, that is the place to inspect for clues.

       IMPORTANT: When running test_sandbox, either standalone or within the test suite, it will
       stop all sandboxes inside $SANDBOX_HOME, to prevent conflicts with the sandboxes created
       during the tests.

   Creating and running your own tests
       Look at the ./t directory inside the MySQL Sandbox package (previous recipe).  There are
       several .sb files, which are good examples of what you can do with the simple testing
       language.  If this is not enough, you can use Perl itself. There are a few .sb.pl files,
       which are plugins for test_sandbox.  Once you create your file, you can run it with

         test_sandbox --user_test=your_test.sb

       To use a Perl test, name the test with a .sb.pl extension.

         test_sandbox --user_test=your_test.sb.pl

Remote Sandboxes

   Access sandboxes from other hosts
       By default, a MySQL sandbox instance can be accessed by localhost only. This access is
       regulated by an option, "--remote_access", which is set to '127.%', and it is used to
       create the default users. You can see the resulting instructions in the file
       'grants.mysql' inside each sandbox.

        grant all on *.* to msandbox@'127.%' identified by 'msandbox';
        grant all on *.* to msandbox@'localhost' identified by 'msandbox';
        grant SELECT,EXECUTE on *.* to msandbox_ro@'127.%' identified by 'msandbox';
        grant SELECT,EXECUTE on *.* to msandbox_ro@'localhost' identified by 'msandbox';
        grant REPLICATION SLAVE on *.* to rsandbox@'127.%' identified by 'rsandbox';

       If you want to access the sandbox remotely, you can change "--remote_access" to include
       your specific subnet, or to open it completely

         --remote_access='192.168.1.%'
         --remote_access='%'

       Starting with MySQL::Sandbox 3.0.34, you can also define the bind address for your MySQL
       server. By default it is '127.0.0.1'. It will be changed to '0.0.0.0' if you choose a
       customized --remote_access. If you change both --remote_access and --bind_address, No
       adjustment will be made.

   Deploy MySQL sandboxes to many hosts
       MySQL Sandbox 3.0.32 and later include a script that lets you deploy a sandbox quickly to
       several hosts.

        $ deploy_to_remote_sandboxes -h
        Deploy to remote sandboxes.
        Usage: deploy_to_remote_sandboxes [options]
        -h               => help
        -P port          => MySQL port  (15530)
        -d sandbox dir   => sandbox directory name (remote_sb)
        -m version       => MySQL version (5.5.30)
        -l list of nodes =>list of nodes where to deploy
        -t tarball       => MySQL tarball to install remotely (none)

        This command takes the list of nodes and installs a MySQL sandbox in each one.
        You must have ssh access to the remote nodes, or this script won't work.
