Create decoy tables

Create Decoy Tables

• 1: On zincdb4, in a screen session, run ~root/generate_decoyprot.sh (takes many hours)
• 2: Shutdown zincdb4 mysqld
• 3: Copy /var/lib/mysql/zinc8/decoyprot.* to zincdb2, zincdb3 somewhere
• 4: Turn zincdb4 back on (This part may be possible without mysqld shutdown/startup, I'm just doing it for saftey)

On each zincdb2, 3:

• 1: Shutdown mysqld
• 2: move the decoyprot.* files copied above into /var/lib/mysql/zinc8/
• 3: Start mysqld

Procedure is as follows:

Run the decoyprot generation script zincdb4:/root/scripts/generate_decoyprot.sh (wait many hours) Shutdown mysql on zincdb4 copy /var/lib/mysql/zinc8/decoyprot.* to zincdb2, zincdb3, to a temporary location. Copy takes 3-5minutes currently Restart mysql on zincdb4

On zincdb2, 3: Stop mysqld Move the decoyprot.* copies into /var/lib/mysql/zinc8/ (May take a few minutes even though its a move) Make sure the copied decoyprot.* files are owned by mysql:mysql Start mysqld

Validate that the tables work:

select count(*) from zinc8.decoyprot; select * from zinc8.decoyprot limit 10;
