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 useage information to the screen.
206 <varlistentry><term>-d --debug=<parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></term>
209 Change the debug level for the command. Default is NOTICE.
214 <varlistentry><term>--socket=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
217 Specify that FILENAME is the name of the Unix domain
218 socket to use when connecting to the local CTDB
219 daemon. The default is
220 <filename>/usr/local/var/run/ctdb/ctdbd.socket</filename>.
229 <title>ADMINISTRATIVE COMMANDS</title>
231 These are commands used to monitor and administer a CTDB cluster.
237 This command displays the PNN of the current node.
242 <title>status</title>
244 This command shows the current status of all CTDB nodes based
245 on information from the queried node.
249 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
250 might not be current.
254 <title>Node status</title>
256 This includes the number of physical nodes and the status of
257 each node. See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
258 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for information
264 <title>Generation</title>
266 The generation id is a number that indicates the current generation
267 of a cluster instance. Each time a cluster goes through a
268 reconfiguration or a recovery its generation id will be changed.
271 This number does not have any particular meaning other than
272 to keep track of when a cluster has gone through a
273 recovery. It is a random number that represents the current
274 instance of a ctdb cluster and its databases. The CTDB
275 daemon uses this number internally to be able to tell when
276 commands to operate on the cluster and the databases was
277 issued in a different generation of the cluster, to ensure
278 that commands that operate on the databases will not survive
279 across a cluster database recovery. After a recovery, all
280 old outstanding commands will automatically become invalid.
283 Sometimes this number will be shown as "INVALID". This only means that
284 the ctdbd daemon has started but it has not yet merged with the cluster through a recovery.
285 All nodes start with generation "INVALID" and are not assigned a real
286 generation id until they have successfully been merged with a cluster
292 <title>Virtual Node Number (VNN) map</title>
294 Consists of the number of virtual nodes and mapping from
295 virtual node numbers to physical node numbers. Virtual
296 nodes host CTDB databases. Only nodes that are
297 participating in the VNN map can become lmaster or dmaster
298 for database records.
303 <title>Recovery mode</title>
305 This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:
308 NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.
311 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.
314 Once the recovery master detects an inconsistency, for example a node
315 becomes disconnected/connected, the recovery daemon will trigger a
316 cluster recovery process, where all databases are remerged across the
317 cluster. When this process starts, the recovery master will first
318 "freeze" all databases to prevent applications such as samba from
319 accessing the databases and it will also mark the recovery mode as
323 When the CTDB daemon starts up, it will start in RECOVERY
324 mode. Once the node has been merged into a cluster and all
325 databases have been recovered, the node mode will change into
326 NORMAL mode and the databases will be "thawed", allowing samba
327 to access the databases again.
331 <title>Recovery master</title>
333 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.
336 Only one node at a time can be the designated recovery master. Which
337 node is designated the recovery master is decided by an election
338 process in the recovery daemons running on each node.
343 <title>Example</title>
347 pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
348 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
349 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
350 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
351 Generation:1362079228
357 Recovery mode:NORMAL (0)
364 <title>nodestatus <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional></title>
366 This command is similar to the <command>status</command>
367 command. It displays the "node status" subset of output. The
368 main differences are:
374 The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each
375 specified node, while <command>ctdb status</command> exits
376 with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.
382 <command>ctdb status</command> provides status information
383 for all nodes. <command>ctdb nodestatus</command>
384 defaults to providing status for only the current node.
385 If PNN-LIST is provided then status is given for
386 the indicated node(s).
392 A common invocation in scripts is <command>ctdb nodestatus
393 all</command> to check whether all nodes in a cluster are
398 <title>Example</title>
401 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
403 # ctdb nodestatus all
405 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
412 <title>recmaster</title>
414 This command shows the pnn of the node which is currently the recmaster.
418 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
419 might not be current.
424 <title>uptime</title>
426 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.
430 <title>Example</title>
433 Current time of node : Thu Oct 29 10:38:54 2009
434 Ctdbd start time : (000 16:54:28) Wed Oct 28 17:44:26 2009
435 Time of last recovery/failover: (000 16:53:31) Wed Oct 28 17:45:23 2009
436 Duration of last recovery/failover: 2.248552 seconds
442 <title>listnodes</title>
444 This command shows lists the ip addresses of all the nodes in the cluster.
448 <title>Example</title>
460 <title>natgw {master|list|status}</title>
462 This command shows different aspects of NAT gateway status.
463 For an overview of CTDB's NAT gateway functionality please see
464 the <citetitle>NAT GATEWAY</citetitle> section in
465 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
466 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
474 Show the PNN and private IP address of the current NAT
489 List the private IP addresses of nodes in the current
490 NAT gateway group, annotating the master node.
507 List the nodes in the current NAT gateway group and

516 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
517 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
527 This command will "ping" specified CTDB nodes in the cluster
528 to verify that they are running.
531 <title>Example</title>
534 response from 0 time=0.000054 sec (3 clients)
540 <title>ifaces</title>
542 This command will display the list of network interfaces, which could
543 host public addresses, along with their status.
546 <title>Example</title>
550 name:eth5 link:up references:2
551 name:eth4 link:down references:0
552 name:eth3 link:up references:1
553 name:eth2 link:up references:1
556 |Name|LinkStatus|References|
568 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".

618 <title>event run|status|script list|script enable|script disable</title>
620 This command is used to control event daemon and to inspect
621 status of various events.
626 <term>run <parameter>EVENT</parameter> <parameter>TIMEOUT</parameter> <optional><parameter>ARGUMENTS</parameter></optional> </term>
629 This command can be used to manually run specified EVENT
630 with optional ARGUMENTS. The event will be allowed to run
631 a maximum of TIMEOUT seconds. If TIMEOUT is 0, then there
632 is no time limit for running the event.
638 <term>status <optional><parameter>EVENT</parameter></optional> <optional>lastrun|lastpass|lastfail</optional></term>
641 This command displays the last execution status of the
642 specified EVENT. If no event is specified, then the status
643 of last executed monitor event will be displayed.
646 To see the last successful execution of the event, lastpass
647 can be specified. Similarly lastfail can be specified
648 to see the last unsuccessful execution of the event.
649 The optional lastrun can be specified to query the last
650 execution of the event.
653 The command will terminate with the exit status
654 corresponding to the overall status of event that is
655 displayed. If lastpass is specified, then the command will
656 always terminate with 0. If lastfail is specified then the
657 command will always terminate with non-zero exit status.
658 If lastrun is specified, then the command will terminate
659 with 0 or not depending on if the last execution of the
660 event was successful or not.
663 The output is the list of event scripts executed.
664 Each line shows the name, status, duration and start time

1074 Show details of the recovery lock, if any.
1081 /clusterfs/.ctdb/recovery.lock
1087 <title>getdebug</title>
1089 Get the current debug level for the node. the debug level controls what information is written to the log file.
1092 The debug levels are mapped to the corresponding syslog levels.
1093 When a debug level is set, only those messages at that level and higher
1094 levels will be printed.
1097 The list of debug levels from highest to lowest are :
1100 ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
1105 <title>setdebug <parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></title>
1107 Set the debug level of a node. This controls what information will be logged.
1110 The debuglevel is one of ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
1115 <title>getpid</title>
1117 This command will return the process id of the ctdb daemon.
1122 <title>disable</title>
1124 This command is used to administratively disable a node in the cluster.
1125 A disabled node will still participate in the cluster and host
1126 clustered TDB records but its public ip address has been taken over by
1127 a different node and it no longer hosts any services.
1132 <title>enable</title>
1134 Re-enable a node that has been administratively disabled.
1141 This command is used to administratively STOP a node in the cluster.
1142 A STOPPED node is connected to the cluster but will not host any
1143 public ip addresse, nor does it participate in the VNNMAP.
1144 The difference between a DISABLED node and a STOPPED node is that
1145 a STOPPED node does not host any parts of the database which means
1146 that a recovery is required to stop/continue nodes.
1151 <title>continue</title>
1153 Re-start a node that has been administratively stopped.
1158 <title>addip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter>/<parameter>mask</parameter> <parameter>IFACE</parameter></title>
1160 This command is used to add a new public ip to a node
1161 during runtime. It should be followed by a <command>ctdb
1162 ipreallocate</command>. This allows public addresses to be
1163 added to a cluster without having to restart the ctdb daemons.
1166 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of ctdb. Any
1167 changes will be lost next time ctdb is restarted and the public
1168 addresses file is re-read. If you want this change to be
1169 permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
1174 <title>delip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1176 This command flags IPADDR for deletion from a node at runtime.
1177 It should be followed by a <command>ctdb
1178 ipreallocate</command>. If IPADDR is currently hosted by the
1179 node it is being removed from, this ensures that the IP will
1180 first be failed over to another node, if possible, and that it
1181 is then actually removed.
1184 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of CTDB. Any
1185 changes will be lost next time CTDB is restarted and the
1186 public addresses file is re-read. If you want this change to
1187 be permanent you must also update the public addresses file
1193 <title>moveip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>PNN</parameter></title>
1195 This command can be used to manually fail a public ip address to a
1199 In order to manually override the "automatic" distribution of public
1200 ip addresses that ctdb normally provides, this command only works
1201 when you have changed the tunables for the daemon to:
1204 IPAllocAlgorithm != 0
1212 <title>shutdown</title>
1214 This command will shutdown a specific CTDB daemon.
1219 <title>setlmasterrole on|off</title>
1221 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.
1225 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.
1228 Once this setting has been enabled/disabled, you need to perform a recovery for it to take effect.
1231 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1236 <title>setrecmasterrole on|off</title>
1238 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.
1242 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.
1245 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1250 <title>reloadnodes</title>
1252 This command is used when adding new nodes, or removing
1253 existing nodes from an existing cluster.
1256 Procedure to add nodes:
1261 To expand an existing cluster, first ensure with
1262 <command>ctdb status</command> that all nodes are up and
1263 running and that they are all healthy. Do not try to
1264 expand a cluster unless it is completely healthy!
1269 On all nodes, edit <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename>
1270 and <emphasis>add the new nodes at the end of this
1276 Verify that all the nodes have identical
1277 <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename> files after adding
1283 Run <command>ctdb reloadnodes</command> to force all nodes
1284 to reload the nodes file.
1289 Use <command>ctdb status</command> on all nodes and verify
1290 that they now show the additional nodes.
1295 Install and configure the new node and bring it online.
1300 Procedure to remove nodes:
1305 To remove nodes from an existing cluster, first ensure
1306 with <command>ctdb status</command> that all nodes, except
1307 the node to be deleted, are up and running and that they
1308 are all healthy. Do not try to remove nodes from a
1309 cluster unless the cluster is completely healthy!
1314 Shutdown and power off the node to be removed.
1319 On all other nodes, edit the
1320 <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename> file and
1321 <emphasis>comment out</emphasis> the nodes to be removed.
1322 <emphasis>Do not delete the lines for the deleted
1323 nodes</emphasis>, just comment them out by adding a '#' at
1324 the beginning of the lines.
1329 Run <command>ctdb reloadnodes</command> to force all nodes
1330 to reload the nodes file.
1335 Use <command>ctdb status</command> on all nodes and verify
1336 that the deleted nodes are no longer listed.
1346 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1349 This command reloads the public addresses configuration file
1350 on the specified nodes. When it completes addresses will be
1351 reconfigured and reassigned across the cluster as necessary.
1355 This command is currently unable to make changes to the
1356 netmask or interfaces associated with existing addresses.
1357 Such changes must be made in 2 steps by deleting addresses in
1358 question and re-adding then. Unfortunately this will disrupt
1359 connections to the changed addresses.
1364 <title>getdbmap</title>
1366 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.
1369 If a PERSISTENT database is not in a healthy state the database is
1370 flagged as UNHEALTHY. If there's at least one completely healthy node running in
1371 the cluster, it's possible that the content is restored by a recovery
1372 run automaticly. Otherwise an administrator needs to analyze the
1376 See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb",
1377 "ctdb dumpbackup", "ctdb wipedb", "ctdb setvar AllowUnhealthyDBRead 1"
1378 and (if samba or tdb-utils are installed) "tdbtool check".
1381 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.

1414 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1415 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1418 Copy the contents of database DB to FILE. FILE can later be
1419 read back using <command>restoredb</command>. This is mainly
1420 useful for backing up persistent databases such as
1421 <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> and similar.
1428 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1429 <optional><parameter>DB</parameter></optional>
1432 This command restores a persistent database that was
1433 previously backed up using backupdb. By default the data will
1434 be restored back into the same database as it was created
1435 from. By specifying dbname you can restore the data into a
1441 <title>setdbreadonly <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1443 This command will enable the read-only record support for a
1444 database. This is an experimental feature to improve
1445 performance for contended records primarily in locking.tdb and
1446 brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you must set it on all
1447 nodes in the cluster.
1452 <title>setdbsticky <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1454 This command will enable the sticky record support for the
1455 specified database. This is an experimental feature to
1456 improve performance for contended records primarily in
1457 locking.tdb and brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you
1458 must set it on all nodes in the cluster.
1465 <title>INTERNAL COMMANDS</title>
1468 Internal commands are used by CTDB's scripts and are not
1469 required for managing a CTDB cluster. Their parameters and
1470 behaviour are subject to change.
1474 <title>gettickles <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1476 Show TCP connections that are registered with CTDB to be
1477 "tickled" if there is a failover.
1482 <title>gratarp <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>INTERFACE</parameter></title>
1484 Send out a gratuitous ARP for the specified interface through
1485 the specified interface. This command is mainly used by the
1492 pdelete <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1501 pfetch <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1504 Print the value associated with KEY in DB.
1511 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1512 <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1513 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1516 Store KEY in DB with contents of FILE as the associated value.
1523 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1524 <optional><parameter>FILE</parameter></optional>
1527 Read a list of key-value pairs, one per line from FILE, and
1528 store them in DB using a single transaction. An empty value
1529 is equivalent to deleting the given key.
1532 The key and value should be separated by spaces or tabs. Each
1533 key/value should be a printable string enclosed in
1539 <title>runstate [setup|first_recovery|startup|running]</title>
1541 Print the runstate of the specified node. Runstates are used
1542 to serialise important state transitions in CTDB, particularly
1546 If one or more optional runstate arguments are specified then
1547 the node must be in one of these runstates for the command to
1551 <title>Example</title>
1560 <title>setifacelink <parameter>IFACE</parameter> up|down</title>
1562 Set the internal state of network interface IFACE. This is
1563 typically used in the <filename>10.interface</filename> script
1564 in the "monitor" event.
1567 Example: ctdb setifacelink eth0 up
1572 <title>tickle</title>
1574 Read a list of TCP connections, one per line, from standard
1575 input and send a TCP tickle to the source host for each
1576 connection. A connection is specified as:
1579 <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter>
1582 A single connection can be specified on the command-line
1583 rather than on standard input.
1586 A TCP tickle is a TCP ACK packet with an invalid sequence and
1587 acknowledge number and will when received by the source host
1588 result in it sending an immediate correct ACK back to the
1592 TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has
1593 occurred since this will make the client immediately recognize the
1594 TCP connection has been disrupted and that the client will need
1595 to reestablish. This greatly speeds up the time it takes for a client
1596 to detect and reestablish after an IP failover in the ctdb cluster.
1601 <title>version</title>
1603 Display the CTDB version.
1610 <title>DEBUGGING COMMANDS</title>
1612 These commands are primarily used for CTDB development and testing and
1613 should not be used for normal administration.
1618 <title>OPTIONS</title>
1621 <varlistentry><term>--print-emptyrecords</term>
1624 This enables printing of empty records when dumping databases
1625 with the catdb, cattbd and dumpdbbackup commands. Records with
1626 empty data segment are considered deleted by ctdb and cleaned
1627 by the vacuuming mechanism, so this switch can come in handy for
1628 debugging the vacuuming behaviour.
1633 <varlistentry><term>--print-datasize</term>
1636 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1637 size of the record data instead of dumping the data contents.
1642 <varlistentry><term>--print-lmaster</term>
1645 This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.
1650 <varlistentry><term>--print-hash</term>
1653 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1654 hash for each record.
1659 <varlistentry><term>--print-recordflags</term>
1662 This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the
1663 record flags for each record. Note that cattdb always
1673 <title>process-exists <parameter>PID</parameter></title>
1675 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.
1680 <title>getdbstatus <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1682 This command displays more details about a database.
1685 <title>Example</title>
1687 # ctdb getdbstatus test.tdb.0
1690 path: /usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/test.tdb.0
1694 # ctdb getdbstatus registry.tdb # with a corrupted TDB
1697 path: /usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0
1699 HEALTH: NO-HEALTHY-NODES - ERROR - Backup of corrupted TDB in '/usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0.corrupted.20091208091949.0Z'
1705 <title>catdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1707 Print a dump of the clustered TDB database DB.
1712 <title>cattdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1714 Print a dump of the contents of the local TDB database DB.
1719 <title>dumpdbbackup <parameter>FILE</parameter></title>
1721 Print a dump of the contents from database backup FILE,
1722 similar to <command>catdb</command>.
1727 <title>wipedb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1729 Remove all contents of database DB.
1734 <title>recover</title>
1736 This command will trigger the recovery daemon to do a cluster
1742 <title>ipreallocate, sync</title>
1744 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.
1749 <title>getmonmode</title>
1751 This command prints the monitoring mode of a node. This
1752 indicates when CTDB is monitoring services on the node. The
1753 monitoring mode is either ENABLED or DISABLED.
1758 <title>attach <parameter>DBNAME</parameter> [persistent]</title>
1760 Create a new CTDB database called DBNAME and attach to it on
1766 <title>detach <parameter>DB-LIST</parameter></title>
1768 Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This
1769 command will disconnect specified database(s) on all nodes in
1770 the cluster. This command should only be used when none of the
1771 specified database(s) are in use.
1774 All nodes should be active and tunable AllowClientDBAccess should
1775 be disabled on all nodes before detaching databases.
1780 <title>dumpmemory</title>
1782 This is a debugging command. This command will make the ctdb
1783 daemon to write a fill memory allocation map to standard output.
1788 <title>rddumpmemory</title>
1790 This is a debugging command. This command will dump the talloc memory
1791 allocation tree for the recovery daemon to standard output.
1796 <title>ban <parameter>BANTIME</parameter></title>
1798 Administratively ban a node for BANTIME seconds. The node
1799 will be unbanned after BANTIME seconds have elapsed.
1802 A banned node does not participate in the cluster. It does
1803 not host any records for the clustered TDB and does not host
1804 any public IP addresses.
1807 Nodes are automatically banned if they misbehave. For
1808 example, a node may be banned if it causes too many cluster
1812 To administratively exclude a node from a cluster use the
1813 <command>stop</command> command.
1818 <title>unban</title>
1820 This command is used to unban a node that has either been
1821 administratively banned using the ban command or has been
1822 automatically banned.
1827 <title>check_srvids <parameter>SRVID</parameter> ...</title>
1829 This command checks whether a set of srvid message ports are
1830 registered on the node or not. The command takes a list of
1834 <title>Example</title>
1836 # ctdb check_srvids 1 2 3 14765
1837 Server id 0:1 does not exist
1838 Server id 0:2 does not exist
1839 Server id 0:3 does not exist
