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-LIST</parameter></term>
129 The nodes specified by PNN-LIST 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>-t <parameter>TIMEOUT</parameter></term>
158 Indicates that ctdb should wait up to TIMEOUT seconds for
159 a response to most commands sent to the CTDB daemon. The
160 default is 10 seconds.
165 <varlistentry><term>-T <parameter>TIMELIMIT</parameter></term>
168 Indicates that TIMELIMIT is the maximum run time (in
169 seconds) for the ctdb command. When TIMELIMIT is exceeded
170 the ctdb command will terminate with an error. The default
176 <varlistentry><term>-? --help</term>
179 Print some help text to the screen.
184 <varlistentry><term>--usage</term>
187 Print useage information to the screen.
192 <varlistentry><term>-d --debug=<parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></term>
195 Change the debug level for the command. Default is ERR (0).
200 <varlistentry><term>--socket=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
203 Specify that FILENAME is the name of the Unix domain
204 socket to use when connecting to the local CTDB
205 daemon. The default is
206 <filename>/tmp/ctdb.socket</filename>.
215 <title>ADMINISTRATIVE COMMANDS</title>
217 These are commands used to monitor and administer a CTDB cluster.
223 This command displays the PNN of the current node.
230 This command displays the PNN of the current node without
231 contacting the CTDB daemon. It parses the nodes file
232 directly, so can produce unexpected output if the nodes file
233 has been edited but has not been reloaded.
238 <title>status</title>
240 This command shows the current status of all CTDB nodes based
241 on information from the queried node.
245 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
246 might not be current.
250 <title>Node status</title>
252 This includes the number of physical nodes and the status of
253 each node. See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
254 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for information
260 <title>Generation</title>
262 The generation id is a number that indicates the current generation
263 of a cluster instance. Each time a cluster goes through a
264 reconfiguration or a recovery its generation id will be changed.
267 This number does not have any particular meaning other than
268 to keep track of when a cluster has gone through a
269 recovery. It is a random number that represents the current
270 instance of a ctdb cluster and its databases. The CTDB
271 daemon uses this number internally to be able to tell when
272 commands to operate on the cluster and the databases was
273 issued in a different generation of the cluster, to ensure
274 that commands that operate on the databases will not survive
275 across a cluster database recovery. After a recovery, all
276 old outstanding commands will automatically become invalid.
279 Sometimes this number will be shown as "INVALID". This only means that
280 the ctdbd daemon has started but it has not yet merged with the cluster through a recovery.
281 All nodes start with generation "INVALID" and are not assigned a real
282 generation id until they have successfully been merged with a cluster
288 <title>Virtual Node Number (VNN) map</title>
290 Consists of the number of virtual nodes and mapping from
291 virtual node numbers to physical node numbers. Virtual
292 nodes host CTDB databases. Only nodes that are
293 participating in the VNN map can become lmaster or dmaster
294 for database records.
299 <title>Recovery mode</title>
301 This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:
304 NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.
307 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.
310 Once the recovery master detects an inconsistency, for example a node
311 becomes disconnected/connected, the recovery daemon will trigger a
312 cluster recovery process, where all databases are remerged across the
313 cluster. When this process starts, the recovery master will first
314 "freeze" all databases to prevent applications such as samba from
315 accessing the databases and it will also mark the recovery mode as
319 When the CTDB daemon starts up, it will start in RECOVERY
320 mode. Once the node has been merged into a cluster and all
321 databases have been recovered, the node mode will change into
322 NORMAL mode and the databases will be "thawed", allowing samba
323 to access the databases again.
327 <title>Recovery master</title>
329 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.
332 Only one node at a time can be the designated recovery master. Which
333 node is designated the recovery master is decided by an election
334 process in the recovery daemons running on each node.
339 <title>Example</title>
343 pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
344 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
345 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
346 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
347 Generation:1362079228
353 Recovery mode:NORMAL (0)
360 <title>nodestatus <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional></title>
362 This command is similar to the <command>status</command>
363 command. It displays the "node status" subset of output. The
364 main differences are:
370 The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each
371 specified node, while <command>ctdb status</command> exits
372 with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.
378 <command>ctdb status</command> provides status information
379 for all nodes. <command>ctdb nodestatus</command>
380 defaults to providing status for only the current node.
381 If PNN-LIST is provided then status is given for
382 the indicated node(s).
386 By default, <command>ctdb nodestatus</command> gathers
387 status from the local node. However, if invoked with "-n
388 all" (or similar) then status is gathered from the given
389 node(s). In particular <command>ctdb nodestatus
390 all</command> and <command>ctdb nodestatus -n
391 all</command> will produce different output. It is
392 possible to provide 2 different nodespecs (with and
393 without "-n") but the output is usually confusing!
399 A common invocation in scripts is <command>ctdb nodestatus
400 all</command> to check whether all nodes in a cluster are
405 <title>Example</title>
408 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
410 # ctdb nodestatus all
412 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
419 <title>recmaster</title>
421 This command shows the pnn of the node which is currently the recmaster.
425 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
426 might not be current.
431 <title>uptime</title>
433 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.
437 <title>Example</title>
440 Current time of node : Thu Oct 29 10:38:54 2009
441 Ctdbd start time : (000 16:54:28) Wed Oct 28 17:44:26 2009
442 Time of last recovery/failover: (000 16:53:31) Wed Oct 28 17:45:23 2009
443 Duration of last recovery/failover: 2.248552 seconds
449 <title>listnodes</title>
451 This command shows lists the ip addresses of all the nodes in the cluster.
455 <title>Example</title>
467 <title>natgwlist</title>
469 Show the current NAT gateway master and the status of all
470 nodes in the current NAT gateway group. See the
471 <citetitle>NAT GATEWAY</citetitle> section in
472 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
473 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more details.
477 <title>Example</title>

483 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
484 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
485 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
493 This command will "ping" specified CTDB nodes in the cluster
494 to verify that they are running.
497 <title>Example</title>
500 response from 0 time=0.000054 sec (3 clients)
501 response from 1 time=0.000144 sec (2 clients)
502 response from 2 time=0.000105 sec (2 clients)
503 response from 3 time=0.000114 sec (2 clients)
509 <title>ifaces</title>
511 This command will display the list of network interfaces, which could
512 host public addresses, along with their status.
515 <title>Example</title>
519 name:eth5 link:up references:2
520 name:eth4 link:down references:0
521 name:eth3 link:up references:1
522 name:eth2 link:up references:1
525 :Name:LinkStatus:References:
537 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 -n all".

610 <title>disablescript <parameter>SCRIPT</parameter></title>
612 This command is used to disable an eventscript.
615 This will take effect the next time the eventscripts are being executed so it can take a short while until this is reflected in 'scriptstatus'.
620 <title>enablescript <parameter>SCRIPT</parameter></title>
622 This command is used to enable an eventscript.
625 This will take effect the next time the eventscripts are being executed so it can take a short while until this is reflected in 'scriptstatus'.
630 <title>listvars</title>
632 List all tuneable variables, except the values of the obsolete tunables
633 like VacuumMinInterval. The obsolete tunables can be retrieved only
634 explicitly with the "ctdb getvar" command.

705 Set the runtime value of a tuneable variable.
708 Example: ctdb setvar MaxRedirectCount 5
713 <title>lvsmaster</title>
715 This command shows which node is currently the LVSMASTER. The
716 LVSMASTER is the node in the cluster which drives the LVS system and
717 which receives all incoming traffic from clients.
720 LVS is the mode where the entire CTDB/Samba cluster uses a single
721 ip address for the entire cluster. In this mode all clients connect to
722 one specific node which will then multiplex/loadbalance the clients
723 evenly onto the other nodes in the cluster. This is an alternative to using
724 public ip addresses. See the manpage for ctdbd for more information
732 This command shows which nodes in the cluster are currently active in the
733 LVS configuration. I.e. which nodes we are currently loadbalancing
734 the single ip address across.
738 LVS will by default only loadbalance across those nodes that are both
739 LVS capable and also HEALTHY. Except if all nodes are UNHEALTHY in which
740 case LVS will loadbalance across all UNHEALTHY nodes as well.
741 LVS will never use nodes that are DISCONNECTED, STOPPED, BANNED or
757 <title>getcapabilities</title>
760 This command shows the capabilities of the current node. See
761 the <citetitle>CAPABILITIES</citetitle> section in

763 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more details.
779 <title>statistics</title>
781 Collect statistics from the CTDB daemon about
782 how many calls it has served. Information about
783 various fields in statistics can be found in

870 <title>getreclock</title>
872 This command is used to show the filename of the reclock file that is used.
879 Reclock file:/gpfs/.ctdb/shared
885 <title>setreclock [filename]</title>
887 This command is used to modify, or clear, the file that is used as the reclock file at runtime. When this command is used, the reclock file checks are disabled. To re-enable the checks the administrator needs to activate the "VerifyRecoveryLock" tunable using "ctdb setvar".
891 If run with no parameter this will remove the reclock file completely. If run with a parameter the parameter specifies the new filename to use for the recovery lock.
895 This command only affects the runtime settings of a ctdb node and will be lost when ctdb is restarted. For persistent changes to the reclock file setting you must edit /etc/sysconfig/ctdb.
902 <title>getdebug</title>
904 Get the current debug level for the node. the debug level controls what information is written to the log file.
907 The debug levels are mapped to the corresponding syslog levels.
908 When a debug level is set, only those messages at that level and higher
909 levels will be printed.
912 The list of debug levels from highest to lowest are :
915 ERR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
920 <title>setdebug <parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></title>
922 Set the debug level of a node. This controls what information will be logged.
925 The debuglevel is one of ERR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
930 <title>getpid</title>
932 This command will return the process id of the ctdb daemon.
937 <title>disable</title>
939 This command is used to administratively disable a node in the cluster.
940 A disabled node will still participate in the cluster and host
941 clustered TDB records but its public ip address has been taken over by
942 a different node and it no longer hosts any services.
947 <title>enable</title>
949 Re-enable a node that has been administratively disabled.
956 This command is used to administratively STOP a node in the cluster.
957 A STOPPED node is connected to the cluster but will not host any
958 public ip addresse, nor does it participate in the VNNMAP.
959 The difference between a DISABLED node and a STOPPED node is that
960 a STOPPED node does not host any parts of the database which means
961 that a recovery is required to stop/continue nodes.
966 <title>continue</title>
968 Re-start a node that has been administratively stopped.
973 <title>addip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter>/<parameter>mask</parameter> <parameter>IFACE</parameter></title>
975 This command is used to add a new public ip to a node during runtime.
976 This allows public addresses to be added to a cluster without having
977 to restart the ctdb daemons.
980 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of ctdb. Any changes will be lost next time ctdb is restarted and the public addresses file is re-read.
981 If you want this change to be permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
986 <title>delip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
988 This command is used to remove a public ip from a node during runtime.
989 If this public ip is currently hosted by the node it being removed from, the ip will first be failed over to another node, if possible, before it is removed.
992 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of ctdb. Any changes will be lost next time ctdb is restarted and the public addresses file is re-read.
993 If you want this change to be permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
998 <title>moveip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>PNN</parameter></title>
1000 This command can be used to manually fail a public ip address to a
1004 In order to manually override the "automatic" distribution of public
1005 ip addresses that ctdb normally provides, this command only works
1006 when you have changed the tunables for the daemon to:
1009 DeterministicIPs = 0
1017 <title>shutdown</title>
1019 This command will shutdown a specific CTDB daemon.
1024 <title>setlmasterrole on|off</title>
1026 This command is used ot 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.
1030 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.
1033 Once this setting has been enabled/disabled, you need to perform a recovery for it to take effect.

1043 This command is used ot 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.
1047 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.

1055 <title>reloadnodes</title>
1057 This command is used when adding new nodes, or removing existing nodes from an existing cluster.
1060 Procedure to add a node:
1063 1, To expand an existing cluster, first ensure with 'ctdb status' that
1064 all nodes are up and running and that they are all healthy.
1065 Do not try to expand a cluster unless it is completely healthy!
1068 2, On all nodes, edit /etc/ctdb/nodes and add the new node as the last
1069 entry to the file. The new node MUST be added to the end of this file!
1072 3, Verify that all the nodes have identical /etc/ctdb/nodes files after you edited them and added the new node!
1075 4, Run 'ctdb reloadnodes' to force all nodes to reload the nodesfile.
1078 5, Use 'ctdb status' on all nodes and verify that they now show the additional node.
1081 6, Install and configure the new node and bring it online.
1084 Procedure to remove a node:
1087 1, To remove a node from an existing cluster, first ensure with 'ctdb status' that
1088 all nodes, except the node to be deleted, are up and running and that they are all healthy.
1089 Do not try to remove a node from a cluster unless the cluster is completely healthy!
1092 2, Shutdown and poweroff the node to be removed.
1095 3, On all other nodes, edit the /etc/ctdb/nodes file and comment out the node to be removed. Do not delete the line for that node, just comment it out by adding a '#' at the beginning of the line.
1098 4, Run 'ctdb reloadnodes' to force all nodes to reload the nodesfile.
1101 5, Use 'ctdb status' on all nodes and verify that the deleted node no longer shows up in the list..
1111 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1114 This command reloads the public addresses configuration file
1115 on the specified nodes. When it completes addresses will be
1116 reconfigured and reassigned across the cluster as necessary.
1121 <title>getdbmap</title>
1123 This command lists all clustered TDB databases that the CTDB daemon has attached to. Some databases are flagged as PERSISTENT, this means that the database stores data persistently and the data will remain across reboots. One example of such a database is secrets.tdb where information about how the cluster was joined to the domain is stored.
1126 If a PERSISTENT database is not in a healthy state the database is
1127 flagged as UNHEALTHY. If there's at least one completely healthy node running in
1128 the cluster, it's possible that the content is restored by a recovery
1129 run automaticly. Otherwise an administrator needs to analyze the
1133 See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb",
1134 "ctdb dumpbackup", "ctdb wipedb", "ctdb setvar AllowUnhealthyDBRead 1"
1135 and (if samba or tdb-utils are installed) "tdbtool check".
1138 Most databases are not persistent and only store the state information that the currently running samba daemons need. These databases are always wiped when ctdb/samba starts and when a node is rebooted.

1171 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1172 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1175 Copy the contents of database DB to FILE. FILE can later be
1176 read back using <command>restoredb</command>. This is mainly
1177 useful for backing up persistent databases such as
1178 <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> and similar.
1185 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1186 <optional><parameter>DB</parameter></optional>
1189 This command restores a persistent database that was
1190 previously backed up using backupdb. By default the data will
1191 be restored back into the same database as it was created
1192 from. By specifying dbname you can restore the data into a
1198 <title>setdbreadonly <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1200 This command will enable the read-only record support for a
1201 database. This is an experimental feature to improve
1202 performance for contended records primarily in locking.tdb and
1203 brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you must set it on all
1204 nodes in the cluster.
1209 <title>setdbsticky <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1211 This command will enable the sticky record support for the
1212 specified database. This is an experimental feature to
1213 improve performance for contended records primarily in
1214 locking.tdb and brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you
1215 must set it on all nodes in the cluster.
1222 <title>INTERNAL COMMANDS</title>
1225 Internal commands are used by CTDB's scripts and are not
1226 required for managing a CTDB cluster. Their parameters and
1227 behaviour are subject to change.
1231 <title>gettickles <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1233 Show TCP connections that are registered with CTDB to be
1234 "tickled" if there is a failover.
1239 <title>gratiousarp <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>INTERFACE</parameter></title>
1241 Send out a gratious ARP for the specified interface through
1242 the specified interface. This command is mainly used by the
1248 <title>killtcp</title>
1250 Read a list of TCP connections, one per line, from standard
1251 input and terminate each connection. A connection is
1255 <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter>
1258 Each connection is terminated by issuing a TCP RST to the
1259 SRC-IPADDR:SRC-PORT endpoint.
1262 A single connection can be specified on the command-line
1263 rather than on standard input.
1269 pdelete <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1278 pfetch <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1281 Print the value associated with KEY in DB.
1288 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1289 <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1290 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1293 Store KEY in DB with contents of FILE as the associated value.
1300 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1301 <optional><parameter>FILE</parameter></optional>
1304 Read a list of key-value pairs, one per line from FILE, and
1305 store them in DB using a single transaction. An empty value
1306 is equivalent to deleting the given key.
1309 The key and value should be separated by spaces or tabs. Each
1310 key/value should be a printable string enclosed in
1316 <title>runstate [setup|first_recovery|startup|running]</title>
1318 Print the runstate of the specified node. Runstates are used
1319 to serialise important state transitions in CTDB, particularly
1323 If one or more optional runstate arguments are specified then
1324 the node must be in one of these runstates for the command to
1328 <title>Example</title>
1337 <title>setifacelink <parameter>IFACE</parameter> up|down</title>
1339 Set the internal state of network interface IFACE. This is
1340 typically used in the <filename>10.interface</filename> script
1341 in the "monitor" event.
1344 Example: ctdb setifacelink eth0 up
1349 <title>setnatgwstate on|off</title>
1351 Enable or disable the NAT gateway master capability on a node.
1356 <title>tickle <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter></title>
1358 Send a TCP tickle to the source host for the specified TCP
1359 connection. A TCP tickle is a TCP ACK packet with an invalid
1360 sequence and acknowledge number and will when received by the
1361 source host result in it sending an immediate correct ACK back
1365 TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has
1366 occured since this will make the client immediately recognize the
1367 TCP connection has been disrupted and that the client will need
1368 to reestablish. This greatly speeds up the time it takes for a client
1369 to detect and reestablish after an IP failover in the ctdb cluster.

1383 <title>DEBUGGING COMMANDS</title>
1385 These commands are primarily used for CTDB development and testing and
1386 should not be used for normal administration.
1391 <title>OPTIONS</title>
1394 <varlistentry><term>--print-emptyrecords</term>
1397 This enables printing of empty records when dumping databases
1398 with the catdb, cattbd and dumpdbbackup commands. Records with
1399 empty data segment are considered deleted by ctdb and cleaned
1400 by the vacuuming mechanism, so this switch can come in handy for
1401 debugging the vacuuming behaviour.
1406 <varlistentry><term>--print-datasize</term>
1409 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1410 size of the record data instead of dumping the data contents.
1415 <varlistentry><term>--print-lmaster</term>
1418 This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.
1423 <varlistentry><term>--print-hash</term>
1426 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1427 hash for each record.
1432 <varlistentry><term>--print-recordflags</term>
1435 This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the
1436 record flags for each record. Note that cattdb always
1446 <title>process-exists <parameter>PID</parameter></title>
1448 This command checks if a specific process exists on the CTDB host. This is mainly used by Samba to check if remote instances of samba are still running or not.
1453 <title>getdbstatus <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1455 This command displays more details about a database.
1458 <title>Example</title>
1460 # ctdb getdbstatus test.tdb.0
1463 path: /var/ctdb/test.tdb.0
1467 # ctdb getdbstatus registry.tdb # with a corrupted TDB
1470 path: /var/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0
1472 HEALTH: NO-HEALTHY-NODES - ERROR - Backup of corrupted TDB in '/var/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0.corrupted.20091208091949.0Z'
1478 <title>catdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1480 Print a dump of the clustered TDB database DB.
1485 <title>cattdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1487 Print a dump of the contents of the local TDB database DB.
1492 <title>dumpdbbackup <parameter>FILE</parameter></title>
1494 Print a dump of the contents from database backup FILE,
1495 similar to <command>catdb</command>.
1500 <title>wipedb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1502 Remove all contents of database DB.
1507 <title>recover</title>
1509 This command will trigger the recovery daemon to do a cluster
1515 <title>ipreallocate, sync</title>
1517 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.
1522 <title>getmonmode</title>
1524 This command returns the monutoring mode of a node. The monitoring mode is either ACTIVE or DISABLED. Normally a node will continuously monitor that all other nodes that are expected are in fact connected and that they respond to commands.
1527 ACTIVE - This is the normal mode. The node is actively monitoring all other nodes, both that the transport is connected and also that the node responds to commands. If a node becomes unavailable, it will be marked as DISCONNECTED and a recovery is initiated to restore the cluster.
1530 DISABLED - This node is not monitoring that other nodes are available. In this mode a node failure will not be detected and no recovery will be performed. This mode is useful when for debugging purposes one wants to attach GDB to a ctdb process but wants to prevent the rest of the cluster from marking this node as DISCONNECTED and do a recovery.
1536 <title>setmonmode 0|1</title>
1538 This command can be used to explicitly disable/enable monitoring mode on a node. The main purpose is if one wants to attach GDB to a running ctdb daemon but wants to prevent the other nodes from marking it as DISCONNECTED and issuing a recovery. To do this, set monitoring mode to 0 on all nodes before attaching with GDB. Remember to set monitoring mode back to 1 afterwards.
1543 <title>attach <parameter>DBNAME</parameter> [persistent]</title>
1545 Create a new CTDB database called DBNAME and attach to it on
1551 <title>detach <parameter>DB-LIST</parameter></title>
1553 Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This
1554 command will disconnect specified database(s) on all nodes in
1555 the cluster. This command should only be used when none of the
1556 specified database(s) are in use.
1559 All nodes should be active and tunable AllowClientDBAccess should
1560 be disabled on all nodes before detaching databases.
1565 <title>dumpmemory</title>
1567 This is a debugging command. This command will make the ctdb
1568 daemon to write a fill memory allocation map to standard output.
1573 <title>rddumpmemory</title>
1575 This is a debugging command. This command will dump the talloc memory
1576 allocation tree for the recovery daemon to standard output.
1583 Thaw a previously frozen node.
1589 <title>eventscript <parameter>ARGUMENTS</parameter></title>
1591 This is a debugging command. This command can be used to manually
1592 invoke and run the eventscritps with arbitrary arguments.
1597 <title>ban <parameter>BANTIME</parameter></title>
1599 Administratively ban a node for BANTIME seconds. The node
1600 will be unbanned after BANTIME seconds have elapsed.
1603 A banned node does not participate in the cluster. It does
1604 not host any records for the clustered TDB and does not host
1605 any public IP addresses.
1608 Nodes are automatically banned if they misbehave. For
1609 example, a node may be banned if it causes too many cluster
1613 To administratively exclude a node from a cluster use the
1614 <command>stop</command> command.
1619 <title>unban</title>
1621 This command is used to unban a node that has either been
1622 administratively banned using the ban command or has been
1623 automatically banned.
1630 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1633 This command marks the given nodes as rebalance targets in the
1634 LCP2 IP allocation algorithm. The
1635 <command>reloadips</command> command will do this as necessary
1636 so this command should not be needed.
1641 <title>check_srvids <parameter>SRVID</parameter> ...</title>
1643 This command checks whether a set of srvid message ports are
1644 registered on the node or not. The command takes a list of
1648 <title>Example</title>
1650 # ctdb check_srvids 1 2 3 14765
1651 Server id 0:1 does not exist
1652 Server id 0:2 does not exist
