NDB_MGMD

The following list includes options that are specific to ndb_mgmd. For options common to all NDB programs, see Section 17.6.2, "Options Common to MySQL Cluster Programs".

•

--config-file=filename, -f filename

Command Line Format	-f
Value Set	[nested table]*

*[nested table]

Type	filename
Default

Instructs the management server as to which file it should use for its configuration file. By default, the management server looks for a file named config.ini in the same directory as the ndb_mgmd executable; otherwise the file name and location must be specified explicitly.

This option also can be given as -c file_name, but this shortcut is obsolete and should not be used in new installations.

•

--daemon, -d

Command Line Format	--daemon
Value Set	[nested table]*

*[nested table]

Type	boolean
Default	TRUE

Instructs ndb_mgmd to start as a daemon process. This is the default behavior.

•

--nodaemon

Command Line Format	--nodaemon
Value Set	[nested table]*

*[nested table]

Type	boolean
Default	FALSE

Instructs ndb_mgmd not to start as a daemon process.

•

--print-full-config, -P

Version Introduced	5.0.10
Command Line Format	--print-full-config
Value Set	[nested table]*

*[nested table]

Type	boolean
Default	FALSE

Shows extended information regarding the configuration of the cluster. With this option on the command line the ndb_mgmd process prints information about the cluster setup including an extensive list of the cluster configuration sections as well as parameters and their values. Normally used together with the --config-file (-f) option.

It is not strictly necessary to specify a connectstring when starting the management server. However, if you are using more than one management server, a connectstring should be provided and each node in the cluster should specify its node ID explicitly.

See Section 17.3.4.2, "The MySQL Cluster Connectstring", for information about using connectstrings. ndb_mgmd(8), describes other options for ndb_mgmd.

The following files are created or used by ndb_mgmd in its starting directory, and are placed in the DataDir as specified in the config.ini configuration file. In the list that follows, node_id is the unique node identifier.

•

config.ini is the configuration file for the cluster as a whole. This file is created by the user and read by the management server. Section 17.3, "MySQL Cluster Configuration", discusses how to set up this file.

•

ndb_node_id_cluster.log is the cluster events log file. Examples of such events include checkpoint startup and completion, node startup events, node failures, and levels of memory usage. A complete listing of cluster events with descriptions may be found in Section 17.7, "Management of MySQL Cluster".

When the size of the cluster log reaches one million bytes, the file is renamed to ndb_node_id_cluster.log.seq_id, where seq_id is the sequence number of the cluster log file. (For example: If files with the sequence numbers 1, 2, and 3 already exist, the next log file is named using the number 4.)

•

ndb_node_id_out.log is the file used for stdout and stderr when running the management server as a daemon.

•

ndb_node_id.pid is the process ID file used when running the management server as a daemon.
