65 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
67 ctdb is a utility to view and manage a CTDB cluster.
71 The following terms are used when referring to nodes in a
78 Physical Node Number. The physical node number is an
79 integer that describes the node in the cluster. The
80 first node has physical node number 0. in a cluster.
88 This is either a single PNN, a comma-separate list of PNNs
97 Commands that reference a database use the following terms:
103 This is either a database name, such as
104 <filename>locking.tdb</filename> or a database ID such
113 A space separated list of at least one
114 <parameter>DB</parameter>.
123 <title>OPTIONS</title>
126 <varlistentry><term>-n <parameter>PNN</parameter></term>
129 The node specified by PNN should be queried for the
130 requested information. Default is to query the daemon
131 running on the local host.
136 <varlistentry><term>-Y</term>
139 Produce output in machine readable form for easier parsing
140 by scripts. This uses a field delimiter of ':'. Not all
141 commands support this option.
146 <varlistentry><term>-x <parameter>SEPARATOR</parameter></term>
149 Use SEPARATOR to delimit fields in machine readable output.
155 <varlistentry><term>-X</term>
158 Produce output in machine readable form for easier parsing
159 by scripts. This uses a field delimiter of '|'. Not all
160 commands support this option.
163 This is equivalent to "-x|" and avoids some shell quoting
169 <varlistentry><term>-t <parameter>TIMEOUT</parameter></term>
172 Indicates that ctdb should wait up to TIMEOUT seconds for
173 a response to most commands sent to the CTDB daemon. The
174 default is 10 seconds.
179 <varlistentry><term>-T <parameter>TIMELIMIT</parameter></term>
182 Indicates that TIMELIMIT is the maximum run time (in
183 seconds) for the ctdb command. When TIMELIMIT is exceeded
184 the ctdb command will terminate with an error. The default
190 <varlistentry><term>-? --help</term>
193 Print some help text to the screen.
198 <varlistentry><term>--usage</term>
201 Print usage information to the screen.
206 <varlistentry><term>-d --debug=<parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></term>
209 Change the debug level for the command. Default is NOTICE.
218 <title>ADMINISTRATIVE COMMANDS</title>
220 These are commands used to monitor and administer a CTDB cluster.
226 This command displays the PNN of the current node.
231 <title>status</title>
233 This command shows the current status of all CTDB nodes based
234 on information from the queried node.
238 Note: If the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
239 might not be current.
243 <title>Node status</title>
245 This includes the number of physical nodes and the status of
246 each node. See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
247 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for information
253 <title>Generation</title>
255 The generation id is a number that indicates the current generation
256 of a cluster instance. Each time a cluster goes through a
257 reconfiguration or a recovery its generation id will be changed.
260 This number does not have any particular meaning other than
261 to keep track of when a cluster has gone through a
262 recovery. It is a random number that represents the current
263 instance of a ctdb cluster and its databases. The CTDB
264 daemon uses this number internally to be able to tell when
265 commands to operate on the cluster and the databases was
266 issued in a different generation of the cluster, to ensure
267 that commands that operate on the databases will not survive
268 across a cluster database recovery. After a recovery, all
269 old outstanding commands will automatically become invalid.
272 Sometimes this number will be shown as "INVALID". This only means that
273 the ctdbd daemon has started but it has not yet merged with the cluster through a recovery.
274 All nodes start with generation "INVALID" and are not assigned a real
275 generation id until they have successfully been merged with a cluster
281 <title>Virtual Node Number (VNN) map</title>
283 Consists of the number of virtual nodes and mapping from
284 virtual node numbers to physical node numbers. Only nodes
285 that are participating in the VNN map can become lmaster for
291 <title>Recovery mode</title>
293 This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:
296 NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.
299 RECOVERY - The cluster databases have all been frozen, pausing all services while the cluster awaits a recovery process to complete. A recovery process should finish within seconds. If a cluster is stuck in the RECOVERY state this would indicate a cluster malfunction which needs to be investigated.
302 Once the recovery master detects an inconsistency, for example a node
303 becomes disconnected/connected, the recovery daemon will trigger a
304 cluster recovery process, where all databases are remerged across the
305 cluster. When this process starts, the recovery master will first
306 "freeze" all databases to prevent applications such as samba from
307 accessing the databases and it will also mark the recovery mode as
311 When the CTDB daemon starts up, it will start in RECOVERY
312 mode. Once the node has been merged into a cluster and all
313 databases have been recovered, the node mode will change into
314 NORMAL mode and the databases will be "thawed", allowing samba
315 to access the databases again.
319 <title>Recovery master</title>
321 This is the cluster node that is currently designated as the recovery master. This node is responsible of monitoring the consistency of the cluster and to perform the actual recovery process when reqired.
324 Only one node at a time can be the designated recovery master. Which
325 node is designated the recovery master is decided by an election
326 process in the recovery daemons running on each node.
331 <title>Example</title>
335 pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
336 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
337 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
338 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
339 Generation:1362079228
345 Recovery mode:NORMAL (0)
352 <title>nodestatus <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional></title>
354 This command is similar to the <command>status</command>
355 command. It displays the "node status" subset of output. The
356 main differences are:
362 The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each
363 specified node, while <command>ctdb status</command> exits
364 with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.
370 <command>ctdb status</command> provides status information
371 for all nodes. <command>ctdb nodestatus</command>
372 defaults to providing status for only the current node.
373 If PNN-LIST is provided then status is given for
374 the indicated node(s).
380 A common invocation in scripts is <command>ctdb nodestatus
381 all</command> to check whether all nodes in a cluster are
386 <title>Example</title>
389 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
391 # ctdb nodestatus all
393 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
400 <title>recmaster</title>
402 This command shows the pnn of the node which is currently the recmaster.
406 Note: If the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
407 might not be current.
412 <title>uptime</title>
414 This command shows the uptime for the ctdb daemon. When the last recovery or ip-failover completed and how long it took. If the "duration" is shown as a negative number, this indicates that there is a recovery/failover in progress and it started that many seconds ago.
418 <title>Example</title>
421 Current time of node : Thu Oct 29 10:38:54 2009
422 Ctdbd start time : (000 16:54:28) Wed Oct 28 17:44:26 2009
423 Time of last recovery/failover: (000 16:53:31) Wed Oct 28 17:45:23 2009
424 Duration of last recovery/failover: 2.248552 seconds
430 <title>listnodes</title>
432 This command shows lists the ip addresses of all the nodes in the cluster.
436 <title>Example</title>
448 <title>natgw {master|list|status}</title>
450 This command shows different aspects of NAT gateway status.
451 For an overview of CTDB's NAT gateway functionality please see
452 the <citetitle>NAT GATEWAY</citetitle> section in
453 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
454 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
462 Show the PNN and private IP address of the current NAT
477 List the private IP addresses of nodes in the current
478 NAT gateway group, annotating the master node.
495 List the nodes in the current NAT gateway group and

504 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
505 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
515 This command will "ping" specified CTDB nodes in the cluster
516 to verify that they are running.
519 <title>Example</title>
522 response from 0 time=0.000054 sec (3 clients)
528 <title>ifaces</title>
530 This command will display the list of network interfaces, which could
531 host public addresses, along with their status.
534 <title>Example</title>
538 name:eth5 link:up references:2
539 name:eth4 link:down references:0
540 name:eth3 link:up references:1
541 name:eth2 link:up references:1
544 |Name|LinkStatus|References|
556 This command will display the list of public addresses that are provided by the cluster and which physical node is currently serving this ip. By default this command will ONLY show those public addresses that are known to the node itself. To see the full list of all public ips across the cluster you must use "ctdb ip all".

1071 <title>getdebug</title>
1073 Get the current debug level for the node. the debug level controls what information is written to the log file.
1076 The debug levels are mapped to the corresponding syslog levels.
1077 When a debug level is set, only those messages at that level and higher
1078 levels will be printed.
1081 The list of debug levels from highest to lowest are :
1084 ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
1089 <title>setdebug <parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></title>
1091 Set the debug level of a node. This controls what information will be logged.
1094 The debuglevel is one of ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
1099 <title>getpid</title>
1101 This command will return the process id of the ctdb daemon.
1106 <title>disable</title>
1108 This command is used to administratively disable a node in the cluster.
1109 A disabled node will still participate in the cluster and host
1110 clustered TDB records but its public ip address has been taken over by
1111 a different node and it no longer hosts any services.
1116 <title>enable</title>
1118 Re-enable a node that has been administratively disabled.
1125 This command is used to administratively STOP a node in the cluster.
1126 A STOPPED node is connected to the cluster but will not host any
1127 public ip addresse, nor does it participate in the VNNMAP.
1128 The difference between a DISABLED node and a STOPPED node is that
1129 a STOPPED node does not host any parts of the database which means
1130 that a recovery is required to stop/continue nodes.
1135 <title>continue</title>
1137 Re-start a node that has been administratively stopped.
1142 <title>addip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter>/<parameter>mask</parameter> <parameter>IFACE</parameter></title>
1144 This command is used to add a new public ip to a node
1145 during runtime. It should be followed by a <command>ctdb
1146 ipreallocate</command>. This allows public addresses to be
1147 added to a cluster without having to restart the ctdb daemons.
1150 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of ctdb. Any
1151 changes will be lost next time ctdb is restarted and the public
1152 addresses file is re-read. If you want this change to be
1153 permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
1158 <title>delip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1160 This command flags IPADDR for deletion from a node at runtime.
1161 It should be followed by a <command>ctdb
1162 ipreallocate</command>. If IPADDR is currently hosted by the
1163 node it is being removed from, this ensures that the IP will
1164 first be failed over to another node, if possible, and that it
1165 is then actually removed.
1168 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of CTDB. Any
1169 changes will be lost next time CTDB is restarted and the
1170 public addresses file is re-read. If you want this change to
1171 be permanent you must also update the public addresses file
1177 <title>moveip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>PNN</parameter></title>
1179 This command can be used to manually fail a public ip address to a
1183 In order to manually override the "automatic" distribution of public
1184 ip addresses that ctdb normally provides, this command only works
1185 when you have changed the tunables for the daemon to:
1188 IPAllocAlgorithm != 0
1196 <title>shutdown</title>
1198 This command will shutdown a specific CTDB daemon.
1203 <title>setlmasterrole on|off</title>
1205 This command is used to enable/disable the LMASTER capability for a node at runtime. This capability determines whether or not a node can be used as an LMASTER for records in the database. A node that does not have the LMASTER capability will not show up in the vnnmap.
1209 Nodes will by default have this capability, but it can be stripped off nodes by the setting in the sysconfig file or by using this command.
1212 Once this setting has been enabled/disabled, you need to perform a recovery for it to take effect.
1215 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1220 <title>setrecmasterrole on|off</title>
1222 This command is used to enable/disable the RECMASTER capability for a node at runtime. This capability determines whether or not a node can be used as an RECMASTER for the cluster. A node that does not have the RECMASTER capability can not win a recmaster election. A node that already is the recmaster for the cluster when the capability is stripped off the node will remain the recmaster until the next cluster election.
1226 Nodes will by default have this capability, but it can be stripped off nodes by the setting in the sysconfig file or by using this command.
1229 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1234 <title>reloadnodes</title>
1236 This command is used when adding new nodes, or removing
1237 existing nodes from an existing cluster.
1240 Procedure to add nodes:
1245 To expand an existing cluster, first ensure with
1246 <command>ctdb status</command> that all nodes are up and
1247 running and that they are all healthy. Do not try to
1248 expand a cluster unless it is completely healthy!
1253 On all nodes, edit <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename>
1254 and <emphasis>add the new nodes at the end of this
1260 Verify that all the nodes have identical
1261 <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename> files after adding
1267 Run <command>ctdb reloadnodes</command> to force all nodes
1268 to reload the nodes file.
1273 Use <command>ctdb status</command> on all nodes and verify
1274 that they now show the additional nodes.
1279 Install and configure the new node and bring it online.
1284 Procedure to remove nodes:
1289 To remove nodes from an existing cluster, first ensure
1290 with <command>ctdb status</command> that all nodes, except
1291 the node to be deleted, are up and running and that they
1292 are all healthy. Do not try to remove nodes from a
1293 cluster unless the cluster is completely healthy!
1298 Shutdown and power off the node to be removed.
1303 On all other nodes, edit the
1304 <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename> file and
1305 <emphasis>comment out</emphasis> the nodes to be removed.
1306 <emphasis>Do not delete the lines for the deleted
1307 nodes</emphasis>, just comment them out by adding a '#' at
1308 the beginning of the lines.
1313 Run <command>ctdb reloadnodes</command> to force all nodes
1314 to reload the nodes file.
1319 Use <command>ctdb status</command> on all nodes and verify
1320 that the deleted nodes are no longer listed.
1330 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1333 This command reloads the public addresses configuration file
1334 on the specified nodes. When it completes addresses will be
1335 reconfigured and reassigned across the cluster as necessary.
1339 This command is currently unable to make changes to the
1340 netmask or interfaces associated with existing addresses.
1341 Such changes must be made in 2 steps by deleting addresses in
1342 question and re-adding then. Unfortunately this will disrupt
1343 connections to the changed addresses.
1348 <title>getdbmap</title>
1350 This command lists all clustered TDB databases that the CTDB
1351 daemon has attached to. Some databases are flagged as PERSISTENT,
1352 this means that the database stores data persistently and the
1353 data will remain across reboots. One example of such a database
1354 is secrets.tdb where information about how the cluster was joined
1355 to the domain is stored. Some database are flagged as REPLICATED,
1356 this means that the data in that database is replicated across all
1357 the nodes. But the data will not remain across reboots. This
1358 type of database is used by CTDB to store it's internal state.
1361 If a PERSISTENT database is not in a healthy state the database
1362 is flagged as UNHEALTHY. If there's at least one completely
1363 healthy node running in the cluster, it's possible that the
1364 content is restored by a recovery run automatically. Otherwise an
1365 administrator needs to analyze the problem.
1368 See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb",
1369 "ctdb dumpbackup", "ctdb wipedb", "ctdb setvar AllowUnhealthyDBRead 1"
1370 and (if samba or tdb-utils are installed) "tdbtool check".
1373 Most databases are not persistent and only store the state
1374 information that the currently running samba daemons need. These
1375 databases are always wiped when ctdb/samba starts and when a

1409 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1410 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1413 Copy the contents of database DB to FILE. FILE can later be
1414 read back using <command>restoredb</command>. This is mainly
1415 useful for backing up persistent databases such as
1416 <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> and similar.
1423 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1424 <optional><parameter>DB</parameter></optional>
1427 This command restores a persistent database that was
1428 previously backed up using backupdb. By default the data will
1429 be restored back into the same database as it was created
1430 from. By specifying dbname you can restore the data into a
1436 <title>setdbreadonly <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1438 This command will enable the read-only record support for a
1439 database. This is an experimental feature to improve
1440 performance for contended records primarily in locking.tdb and
1441 brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you must set it on all
1442 nodes in the cluster.
1447 <title>setdbsticky <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1449 This command will enable the sticky record support for the
1450 specified database. This is an experimental feature to
1451 improve performance for contended records primarily in
1452 locking.tdb and brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you
1453 must set it on all nodes in the cluster.
1460 <title>INTERNAL COMMANDS</title>
1463 Internal commands are used by CTDB's scripts and are not
1464 required for managing a CTDB cluster. Their parameters and
1465 behaviour are subject to change.
1469 <title>gettickles <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1471 Show TCP connections that are registered with CTDB to be
1472 "tickled" if there is a failover.
1477 <title>gratarp <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>INTERFACE</parameter></title>
1479 Send out a gratuitous ARP for the specified interface through
1480 the specified interface. This command is mainly used by the
1487 pdelete <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1496 pfetch <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1499 Print the value associated with KEY in DB.
1506 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1507 <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1508 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1511 Store KEY in DB with contents of FILE as the associated value.
1518 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1519 <optional><parameter>FILE</parameter></optional>
1522 Read a list of key-value pairs, one per line from FILE, and
1523 store them in DB using a single transaction. An empty value
1524 is equivalent to deleting the given key.
1527 The key and value should be separated by spaces or tabs. Each
1528 key/value should be a printable string enclosed in
1534 <title>runstate [setup|first_recovery|startup|running]</title>
1536 Print the runstate of the specified node. Runstates are used
1537 to serialise important state transitions in CTDB, particularly
1541 If one or more optional runstate arguments are specified then
1542 the node must be in one of these runstates for the command to
1546 <title>Example</title>
1555 <title>setifacelink <parameter>IFACE</parameter> up|down</title>
1557 Set the internal state of network interface IFACE. This is
1558 typically used in the <filename>10.interface</filename> script
1559 in the "monitor" event.
1562 Example: ctdb setifacelink eth0 up
1567 <title>tickle</title>
1569 Read a list of TCP connections, one per line, from standard
1570 input and send a TCP tickle to the source host for each
1571 connection. A connection is specified as:
1574 <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter>
1577 A single connection can be specified on the command-line
1578 rather than on standard input.
1581 A TCP tickle is a TCP ACK packet with an invalid sequence and
1582 acknowledge number and will when received by the source host
1583 result in it sending an immediate correct ACK back to the
1587 TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has
1588 occurred since this will make the client immediately recognize the
1589 TCP connection has been disrupted and that the client will need
1590 to reestablish. This greatly speeds up the time it takes for a client
1591 to detect and reestablish after an IP failover in the ctdb cluster.

1598 Display the CTDB version.
1605 <title>DEBUGGING COMMANDS</title>
1607 These commands are primarily used for CTDB development and testing and
1608 should not be used for normal administration.
1613 <title>OPTIONS</title>
1616 <varlistentry><term>--print-emptyrecords</term>
1619 This enables printing of empty records when dumping databases
1620 with the catdb, cattbd and dumpdbbackup commands. Records with
1621 empty data segment are considered deleted by ctdb and cleaned
1622 by the vacuuming mechanism, so this switch can come in handy for
1623 debugging the vacuuming behaviour.
1628 <varlistentry><term>--print-datasize</term>
1631 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1632 size of the record data instead of dumping the data contents.
1637 <varlistentry><term>--print-lmaster</term>
1640 This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.
1645 <varlistentry><term>--print-hash</term>
1648 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1649 hash for each record.
1654 <varlistentry><term>--print-recordflags</term>
1657 This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the
1658 record flags for each record. Note that cattdb always
1668 <title>process-exists <parameter>PID</parameter> <parameter>[SRVID]</parameter></title>
1670 This command checks if a specific process exists on the CTDB
1671 host. This is mainly used by Samba to check if remote instances
1672 of samba are still running or not. When the optional SRVID
1673 argument is specified, the command check if a specific process
1674 exists on the CTDB host and has registered for specified SRVID.
1679 <title>getdbstatus <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1681 This command displays more details about a database.
1684 <title>Example</title>
1686 # ctdb getdbstatus test.tdb.0
1689 path: /usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/test.tdb.0
1693 # ctdb getdbstatus registry.tdb # with a corrupted TDB
1696 path: /usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0
1698 HEALTH: NO-HEALTHY-NODES - ERROR - Backup of corrupted TDB in '/usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0.corrupted.20091208091949.0Z'
1704 <title>catdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1706 Print a dump of the clustered TDB database DB.
1711 <title>cattdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1713 Print a dump of the contents of the local TDB database DB.
1718 <title>dumpdbbackup <parameter>FILE</parameter></title>
1720 Print a dump of the contents from database backup FILE,
1721 similar to <command>catdb</command>.
1726 <title>wipedb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1728 Remove all contents of database DB.
1733 <title>recover</title>
1735 This command will trigger the recovery daemon to do a cluster
1741 <title>ipreallocate, sync</title>
1743 This command will force the recovery master to perform a full ip reallocation process and redistribute all ip addresses. This is useful to "reset" the allocations back to its default state if they have been changed using the "moveip" command. While a "recover" will also perform this reallocation, a recovery is much more hevyweight since it will also rebuild all the databases.
1748 <title>attach <parameter>DBNAME</parameter> [persistent|replicated]</title>
1750 Create a new CTDB database called DBNAME and attach to it on
1756 <title>detach <parameter>DB-LIST</parameter></title>
1758 Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This
1759 command will disconnect specified database(s) on all nodes in
1760 the cluster. This command should only be used when none of the
1761 specified database(s) are in use.
1764 All nodes should be active and tunable AllowClientDBAccess should
1765 be disabled on all nodes before detaching databases.
1770 <title>dumpmemory</title>
1772 This is a debugging command. This command will make the ctdb
1773 daemon to write a fill memory allocation map to standard output.
1778 <title>rddumpmemory</title>
1780 This is a debugging command. This command will dump the talloc memory
1781 allocation tree for the recovery daemon to standard output.
1786 <title>ban <parameter>BANTIME</parameter></title>
1788 Administratively ban a node for BANTIME seconds. The node
1789 will be unbanned after BANTIME seconds have elapsed.
1792 A banned node does not participate in the cluster. It does
1793 not host any records for the clustered TDB and does not host
1794 any public IP addresses.
1797 Nodes are automatically banned if they misbehave. For
1798 example, a node may be banned if it causes too many cluster
1802 To administratively exclude a node from a cluster use the
1803 <command>stop</command> command.
1808 <title>unban</title>
1810 This command is used to unban a node that has either been
1811 administratively banned using the ban command or has been
1812 automatically banned.
