Use this guide to install the singlestoredb-toolbox and memsql-server packages and migrate from MemSQL Ops to the SingleStore DB management tools for cluster management. The migration tool automates most of the migration process.

SingleStore Tools allow you to perform cluster management operations for setup, configuration, and diagnostics. Operations are done through CLI commands which can be easily scripted for use in a variety of deployment environments and scenarios.

Most of the tools are part of the singlestoredb-toolbox package. However, the lower-level management tool, memsqlctl, is part of the memsql-server package (which includes the SingleStore DB engine).

Along with these packages, SingleStore also offers a client application through the singlestore-client package to connect to your SingleStore DB cluster and run queries.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that:

• The SingleStore DB cluster components were installed via tarball
• The user that created the cluster does not have sudo privileges
• The user performing the migration does not have sudo privileges
• The SingleStore DB cluster is managed by MemSQL Ops v7.0 or later, which can be verified via memsql-ops agent-list (Learn how to upgrade)
• The SingleStore DB cluster is running MemSQL 7.0 or later, which can be verified via memsql-ops memsql-list (Learn how to upgrade)
• SingleStore DB Toolbox v1.3.0 or later, which can be verified via sdb-toolbox-config version (Learn how to upgrade)
