ndb_mgmd

NAME

ndb_mgmd - the management server process

SYNOPSIS

ndb_mgmd options

DESCRIPTION

The management server is the process that reads the cluster configuration file and distributes this information to all nodes in the cluster that request it. It also maintains a log of cluster activities. Management clients can connect to the management server and check the cluster's status.

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 3.4.2, "The Cluster Connectstring", for information about using connectstrings. Section 5.2, "Command Options for MySQL Cluster Processes", 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 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 6, "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.
