Checking Whether the max_allowed_packet Value of the Destination Database Is too Small

In MySQLor MariaDB migration and synchronization scenarios, if the value of max_allowed_packet of the destination database is less than 100 MB, data cannot be written to the destination database. As a result, the full migration fails.

Failure Cause

The max_allowed_packet value of the destination database is too small, which may cause data fails to be written during the migration.

Handling Suggestion

Set the max_allowed_packet value greater than 100 MB in the destination database.

  • For a self-managed database, run the following command to change the value.
    SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=Size;
  • For an RDS for MySQL instance, change the parameter by referring to "Modifying Parameters of an RDS for MySQL Instance".
