Error Code:
1777
GTID_MODE Required for Auto-Position
Description
This error indicates that you are attempting to configure MariaDB replication to use automatic position management (`MASTER_AUTO_POSITION = 1`) while the Global Transaction Identifier (GTID) mode is not globally enabled. GTID is a fundamental requirement for the `MASTER_AUTO_POSITION` feature to function correctly, as it provides a robust way to track transactions across replication topologies.
Error Message
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_AUTO_POSITION = 1 can only be executed when @@GLOBAL.GTID_MODE = ON.
Known Causes
3 known causesGTID_MODE is Not Enabled
The `@@GLOBAL.GTID_MODE` system variable is currently set to `OFF` or `OFF_PERMISSIVE`, preventing the use of `MASTER_AUTO_POSITION`.
Improper Server Configuration
The MariaDB server instance was not started or configured with `gtid_mode = ON` in its configuration file (`my.cnf` or equivalent) on the master server.
Misunderstanding Replication Requirements
An attempt was made to enable `MASTER_AUTO_POSITION` without prior knowledge that it strictly depends on GTID being active on the master server.
