Assuming the following details, and we are trying to recover `mysql-innodb-cluster/0`

```
mysql-innodb-cluster/0   active    idle   0/lxd/6  10.0.1.137                     Unit is ready: Mode: R/O, Cluster is ONLINE and can tolerate up to ONE failure.
mysql-innodb-cluster/1   active    idle   1/lxd/6  10.0.1.114                     Unit is ready: Mode: R/W, Cluster is ONLINE and can tolerate up to ONE failure.
mysql-innodb-cluster/2*  active    idle   2/lxd/6  10.0.1.156                     Unit is ready: Mode: R/O, Cluster is ONLINE and can tolerate up to ONE failure.
```

1. Grab a backup of the mysql Database

   ```
   juju run-action --wait mysql-innodb-cluster/leader mysqldump
   ```

1. Stop the mysql on the unit `mysql-innodb-cluster/0`

   ```
   sudo systemctl stop mysql
   ```

1. Remove the member from the cluster

    ```
    juju run-action --wait mysql-innodb-cluster/leader remove-instance address=10.0.1.137
    ```

    If the above command doesn't work run with the parameter `force=true`

    ```
    juju run-action --wait mysql-innodb-cluster/leader remove-instance address=10.0.1.137 force=true
    ```

    Confirm it worked by checking the IP is removed from:

   ```
   juju run-action --wait mysql-innodb-cluster/leader cluster-status
   ```

1. Re-initialise the DB on the machine locally on problematic node i.e. `mysql-innodb-cluster/0`

    ```
    juju ssh mysql-innodb-cluster/0

    sudo -i
    cd /var/lib
    mv mysql mysql.old.$(date +%s)
    mkdir mysql
    chown mysql:mysql mysql
    chmod 700 mysql
    mysqld --initialize
    systemctl start mysql
    ```

    Check the mysql status: `sudo systemctl status mysql`

1. A temporary password would have been created via the `--initialize` above, so this needs to be updated.
   You will find the temporary password in `/var/log/mysql/error.log`, and the line should look similar to the one below

   ```
   [Note] [MY-010454] [Server] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: wyPd_?kEd03p
   ```

   This can easily grabbed by running the following command

   ```
   grep temporary /var/log/mysql/error.log
   ```

   First we need to get the root password that is stored

   ```
   juju run --unit mysql-innodb-cluster/leader 'leader-get mysql.passwd'
   ```

   Now, we can update the password, login using the password that was suggested in the error.log i.e. `wyPd_?kEd03p`

   ```
   mysql -p -u root
   ```

   Once logged in, we can update the password to the value that mysql-innodb-cluster charm knows about

   ```
   ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'zn8K73dmqnkZd99JZxXwcFmxWqTxPYgw3Hjx5sk';
   ```

1. Remove the flags using Juju:

   Clear flags to force charm to re-create cluster users

   ```
   juju run --unit mysql-innodb-cluster/0 -- charms.reactive clear_flag local.cluster.user-created
   juju run --unit mysql-innodb-cluster/0 -- charms.reactive clear_flag local.cluster.all-users-created
   juju run --unit mysql-innodb-cluster/0 -- ./hooks/update-status
   ```

   After that, you can confirm it worked by getting the password:

   ```
   juju run --unit mysql-innodb-cluster/leader leader-get cluster-password
   ```

   Connect to the unit `mysql-innodb-cluster/0` and use the password above:

   ```
   mysql -u clusteruser -p -e 'SELECT user,host FROM mysql.user'
   ```

1. Re-add instance to cluster (you may need to replace `leader` by the unit number that is `Mode: R/W`:

   ```
   juju run-action --wait mysql-innodb-cluster/leader add-instance address=10.0.1.137
   juju run-action --wait mysql-innodb-cluster/leader cluster-status
   ```

Note: If the instance is not added to the cluster use mysqlsh to do this with the step below:

```
juju ssh mysql-innodb-cluster/2

mysqlsh clusteruser@10.0.1.156 --password=<clusterpassword> --cluster
cluster.add_instance("10.0.1.137:3306")
```

Choose the option => `"[C]lone YES"`

You might need to run the command below to configure your instance if you have the error-output below:
"NOTE: Please use the `dba.configure_instance()` command to repair these issues."

If you have the output above run the command below using the `mysqlsh` CLI:

```
dba.configure_instance("clusteruser@10.0.1.137:3306")
```

Note: You will be asked for the password of the user `clusteruser` and after this step you can add the instance back to the cluster:

```
cluster.add_instance("10.0.1.137:3306")
```

choose the option => `"[C]lone YES"`

After that check the cluster status:

```
juju run-action --wait mysql-innodb-cluster/leader cluster-status
```
