How to avoid errno 1593 in MySQL 5.6

Overview

Here is how to avoid the errno: 1593 in MySQL 5.6

Errno: 1593
Fatal error: The slave I/O thread stops because master and slave
have equal MySQL server UUIDs; these UUIDs must be different for
replication to work.

This errno can occur from version 5.6 and later.

Starting 5.6, when starting MySQL the server generate a UUID to help replication teatures.
If the file auto.cnf located in /var/lib/mysql exists it will read it otherwise it will create a new one.

When creating a replica/Slave, you have to do a cold backup of the Master to the Replica/Slave.
Once to done the copy just make sure that you remove the auto.cnf file and you won't have the error.

If you are getting the error,

•  Stop your MySQL,
• Remove the auto.cnf file 
• Restart MySQL.
