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>-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 (2).
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>/tmp/ctdb.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.
244 This command displays the PNN of the current node without
245 contacting the CTDB daemon. It parses the nodes file
246 directly, so can produce unexpected output if the nodes file
247 has been edited but has not been reloaded.
252 <title>status</title>
254 This command shows the current status of all CTDB nodes based
255 on information from the queried node.
259 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
260 might not be current.
264 <title>Node status</title>
266 This includes the number of physical nodes and the status of
267 each node. See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
268 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for information
274 <title>Generation</title>
276 The generation id is a number that indicates the current generation
277 of a cluster instance. Each time a cluster goes through a
278 reconfiguration or a recovery its generation id will be changed.
281 This number does not have any particular meaning other than
282 to keep track of when a cluster has gone through a
283 recovery. It is a random number that represents the current
284 instance of a ctdb cluster and its databases. The CTDB
285 daemon uses this number internally to be able to tell when
286 commands to operate on the cluster and the databases was
287 issued in a different generation of the cluster, to ensure
288 that commands that operate on the databases will not survive
289 across a cluster database recovery. After a recovery, all
290 old outstanding commands will automatically become invalid.
293 Sometimes this number will be shown as "INVALID". This only means that
294 the ctdbd daemon has started but it has not yet merged with the cluster through a recovery.
295 All nodes start with generation "INVALID" and are not assigned a real
296 generation id until they have successfully been merged with a cluster
302 <title>Virtual Node Number (VNN) map</title>
304 Consists of the number of virtual nodes and mapping from
305 virtual node numbers to physical node numbers. Virtual
306 nodes host CTDB databases. Only nodes that are
307 participating in the VNN map can become lmaster or dmaster
308 for database records.
313 <title>Recovery mode</title>
315 This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:
318 NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.
321 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.
324 Once the recovery master detects an inconsistency, for example a node
325 becomes disconnected/connected, the recovery daemon will trigger a
326 cluster recovery process, where all databases are remerged across the
327 cluster. When this process starts, the recovery master will first
328 "freeze" all databases to prevent applications such as samba from
329 accessing the databases and it will also mark the recovery mode as
333 When the CTDB daemon starts up, it will start in RECOVERY
334 mode. Once the node has been merged into a cluster and all
335 databases have been recovered, the node mode will change into
336 NORMAL mode and the databases will be "thawed", allowing samba
337 to access the databases again.
341 <title>Recovery master</title>
343 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.
346 Only one node at a time can be the designated recovery master. Which
347 node is designated the recovery master is decided by an election
348 process in the recovery daemons running on each node.
353 <title>Example</title>
357 pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
358 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
359 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
360 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
361 Generation:1362079228
367 Recovery mode:NORMAL (0)
374 <title>nodestatus <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional></title>
376 This command is similar to the <command>status</command>
377 command. It displays the "node status" subset of output. The
378 main differences are:
384 The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each
385 specified node, while <command>ctdb status</command> exits
386 with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.
392 <command>ctdb status</command> provides status information
393 for all nodes. <command>ctdb nodestatus</command>
394 defaults to providing status for only the current node.
395 If PNN-LIST is provided then status is given for
396 the indicated node(s).
400 By default, <command>ctdb nodestatus</command> gathers
401 status from the local node. However, if invoked with "-n
402 all" (or similar) then status is gathered from the given
403 node(s). In particular <command>ctdb nodestatus
404 all</command> and <command>ctdb nodestatus -n
405 all</command> will produce different output. It is
406 possible to provide 2 different nodespecs (with and
407 without "-n") but the output is usually confusing!
413 A common invocation in scripts is <command>ctdb nodestatus
414 all</command> to check whether all nodes in a cluster are
419 <title>Example</title>
422 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
424 # ctdb nodestatus all
426 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
433 <title>recmaster</title>
435 This command shows the pnn of the node which is currently the recmaster.
439 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
440 might not be current.
445 <title>uptime</title>
447 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.
451 <title>Example</title>
454 Current time of node : Thu Oct 29 10:38:54 2009
455 Ctdbd start time : (000 16:54:28) Wed Oct 28 17:44:26 2009
456 Time of last recovery/failover: (000 16:53:31) Wed Oct 28 17:45:23 2009
457 Duration of last recovery/failover: 2.248552 seconds
463 <title>listnodes</title>
465 This command shows lists the ip addresses of all the nodes in the cluster.
469 <title>Example</title>
481 <title>natgwlist</title>
483 Show the current NAT gateway master and the status of all
484 nodes in the current NAT gateway group. See the
485 <citetitle>NAT GATEWAY</citetitle> section in
486 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
487 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more details.
491 <title>Example</title>
496 pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
497 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
498 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
499 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
507 This command will "ping" specified CTDB nodes in the cluster
508 to verify that they are running.
511 <title>Example</title>
514 response from 0 time=0.000054 sec (3 clients)
515 response from 1 time=0.000144 sec (2 clients)
516 response from 2 time=0.000105 sec (2 clients)
517 response from 3 time=0.000114 sec (2 clients)
523 <title>ifaces</title>
525 This command will display the list of network interfaces, which could
526 host public addresses, along with their status.
529 <title>Example</title>
533 name:eth5 link:up references:2
534 name:eth4 link:down references:0
535 name:eth3 link:up references:1
536 name:eth2 link:up references:1
539 |Name|LinkStatus|References|
551 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".

718 Set the runtime value of a tuneable variable.
721 Example: ctdb setvar MaxRedirectCount 5
726 <title>lvsmaster</title>
728 This command shows which node is currently the LVSMASTER. The
729 LVSMASTER is the node in the cluster which drives the LVS system and
730 which receives all incoming traffic from clients.
733 LVS is the mode where the entire CTDB/Samba cluster uses a single
734 ip address for the entire cluster. In this mode all clients connect to
735 one specific node which will then multiplex/loadbalance the clients
736 evenly onto the other nodes in the cluster. This is an alternative to using
737 public ip addresses. See the manpage for ctdbd for more information
745 This command shows which nodes in the cluster are currently active in the
746 LVS configuration. I.e. which nodes we are currently loadbalancing
747 the single ip address across.
751 LVS will by default only loadbalance across those nodes that are both
752 LVS capable and also HEALTHY. Except if all nodes are UNHEALTHY in which
753 case LVS will loadbalance across all UNHEALTHY nodes as well.
754 LVS will never use nodes that are DISCONNECTED, STOPPED, BANNED or
770 <title>getcapabilities</title>
773 This command shows the capabilities of the current node. See

885 Show the name of the recovery lock file, if any.
892 Reclock file:/clusterfs/.ctdb/recovery.lock
899 setreclock <optional><parameter>FILE</parameter></optional>
903 FILE specifies the name of the recovery lock file. If the
904 recovery lock file is changed at run-time then this will cause
905 a recovery, which in turn causes the recovery lock to be

936 <title>getdebug</title>
938 Get the current debug level for the node. the debug level controls what information is written to the log file.
941 The debug levels are mapped to the corresponding syslog levels.
942 When a debug level is set, only those messages at that level and higher
943 levels will be printed.
946 The list of debug levels from highest to lowest are :
949 ERR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
954 <title>setdebug <parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></title>
956 Set the debug level of a node. This controls what information will be logged.
959 The debuglevel is one of ERR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
964 <title>getpid</title>
966 This command will return the process id of the ctdb daemon.
971 <title>disable</title>
973 This command is used to administratively disable a node in the cluster.
974 A disabled node will still participate in the cluster and host
975 clustered TDB records but its public ip address has been taken over by
976 a different node and it no longer hosts any services.
981 <title>enable</title>
983 Re-enable a node that has been administratively disabled.
990 This command is used to administratively STOP a node in the cluster.
991 A STOPPED node is connected to the cluster but will not host any
992 public ip addresse, nor does it participate in the VNNMAP.
993 The difference between a DISABLED node and a STOPPED node is that
994 a STOPPED node does not host any parts of the database which means
995 that a recovery is required to stop/continue nodes.
1000 <title>continue</title>
1002 Re-start a node that has been administratively stopped.
1007 <title>addip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter>/<parameter>mask</parameter> <parameter>IFACE</parameter></title>
1009 This command is used to add a new public ip to a node during runtime.
1010 This allows public addresses to be added to a cluster without having
1011 to restart the ctdb daemons.
1014 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.
1015 If you want this change to be permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
1020 <title>delip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1022 This command is used to remove a public ip from a node during runtime.
1023 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.
1026 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.
1027 If you want this change to be permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
1032 <title>moveip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>PNN</parameter></title>
1034 This command can be used to manually fail a public ip address to a
1038 In order to manually override the "automatic" distribution of public
1039 ip addresses that ctdb normally provides, this command only works
1040 when you have changed the tunables for the daemon to:
1043 DeterministicIPs = 0
1051 <title>shutdown</title>
1053 This command will shutdown a specific CTDB daemon.
1058 <title>setlmasterrole on|off</title>
1060 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.
1064 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.
1067 Once this setting has been enabled/disabled, you need to perform a recovery for it to take effect.
1070 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1075 <title>setrecmasterrole on|off</title>
1077 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.
1081 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.
1084 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1089 <title>reloadnodes</title>
1091 This command is used when adding new nodes, or removing existing nodes from an existing cluster.
1094 Procedure to add a node:
1097 1, To expand an existing cluster, first ensure with 'ctdb status' that
1098 all nodes are up and running and that they are all healthy.
1099 Do not try to expand a cluster unless it is completely healthy!
1102 2, On all nodes, edit /etc/ctdb/nodes and add the new node as the last
1103 entry to the file. The new node MUST be added to the end of this file!
1106 3, Verify that all the nodes have identical /etc/ctdb/nodes files after you edited them and added the new node!
1109 4, Run 'ctdb reloadnodes' to force all nodes to reload the nodesfile.
1112 5, Use 'ctdb status' on all nodes and verify that they now show the additional node.
1115 6, Install and configure the new node and bring it online.
1118 Procedure to remove a node:
1121 1, To remove a node from an existing cluster, first ensure with 'ctdb status' that
1122 all nodes, except the node to be deleted, are up and running and that they are all healthy.
1123 Do not try to remove a node from a cluster unless the cluster is completely healthy!
1126 2, Shutdown and poweroff the node to be removed.
1129 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.
1132 4, Run 'ctdb reloadnodes' to force all nodes to reload the nodesfile.
1135 5, Use 'ctdb status' on all nodes and verify that the deleted node no longer shows up in the list..
1145 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1148 This command reloads the public addresses configuration file
1149 on the specified nodes. When it completes addresses will be
1150 reconfigured and reassigned across the cluster as necessary.
1155 <title>getdbmap</title>
1157 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.
1160 If a PERSISTENT database is not in a healthy state the database is
1161 flagged as UNHEALTHY. If there's at least one completely healthy node running in
1162 the cluster, it's possible that the content is restored by a recovery
1163 run automaticly. Otherwise an administrator needs to analyze the
1167 See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb",
1168 "ctdb dumpbackup", "ctdb wipedb", "ctdb setvar AllowUnhealthyDBRead 1"
1169 and (if samba or tdb-utils are installed) "tdbtool check".
1172 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.

1205 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1206 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1209 Copy the contents of database DB to FILE. FILE can later be
1210 read back using <command>restoredb</command>. This is mainly
1211 useful for backing up persistent databases such as
1212 <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> and similar.
1219 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1220 <optional><parameter>DB</parameter></optional>
1223 This command restores a persistent database that was
1224 previously backed up using backupdb. By default the data will
1225 be restored back into the same database as it was created
1226 from. By specifying dbname you can restore the data into a
1232 <title>setdbreadonly <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1234 This command will enable the read-only record support for a
1235 database. This is an experimental feature to improve
1236 performance for contended records primarily in locking.tdb and
1237 brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you must set it on all
1238 nodes in the cluster.
1243 <title>setdbsticky <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1245 This command will enable the sticky record support for the
1246 specified database. This is an experimental feature to
1247 improve performance for contended records primarily in
1248 locking.tdb and brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you
1249 must set it on all nodes in the cluster.
1256 <title>INTERNAL COMMANDS</title>
1259 Internal commands are used by CTDB's scripts and are not
1260 required for managing a CTDB cluster. Their parameters and
1261 behaviour are subject to change.
1265 <title>gettickles <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1267 Show TCP connections that are registered with CTDB to be
1268 "tickled" if there is a failover.
1273 <title>gratiousarp <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>INTERFACE</parameter></title>
1275 Send out a gratious ARP for the specified interface through
1276 the specified interface. This command is mainly used by the
1282 <title>killtcp</title>
1284 Read a list of TCP connections, one per line, from standard
1285 input and terminate each connection. A connection is
1289 <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter>
1292 Each connection is terminated by issuing a TCP RST to the
1293 SRC-IPADDR:SRC-PORT endpoint.
1296 A single connection can be specified on the command-line
1297 rather than on standard input.
1303 pdelete <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1312 pfetch <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1315 Print the value associated with KEY in DB.
1322 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1323 <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1324 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1327 Store KEY in DB with contents of FILE as the associated value.
1334 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1335 <optional><parameter>FILE</parameter></optional>
1338 Read a list of key-value pairs, one per line from FILE, and
1339 store them in DB using a single transaction. An empty value
1340 is equivalent to deleting the given key.
1343 The key and value should be separated by spaces or tabs. Each
1344 key/value should be a printable string enclosed in
1350 <title>runstate [setup|first_recovery|startup|running]</title>
1352 Print the runstate of the specified node. Runstates are used
1353 to serialise important state transitions in CTDB, particularly
1357 If one or more optional runstate arguments are specified then
1358 the node must be in one of these runstates for the command to
1362 <title>Example</title>
1371 <title>setifacelink <parameter>IFACE</parameter> up|down</title>
1373 Set the internal state of network interface IFACE. This is
1374 typically used in the <filename>10.interface</filename> script
1375 in the "monitor" event.
1378 Example: ctdb setifacelink eth0 up
1383 <title>setnatgwstate on|off</title>
1385 Enable or disable the NAT gateway master capability on a node.
1390 <title>tickle <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter></title>
1392 Send a TCP tickle to the source host for the specified TCP
1393 connection. A TCP tickle is a TCP ACK packet with an invalid
1394 sequence and acknowledge number and will when received by the
1395 source host result in it sending an immediate correct ACK back
1399 TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has
1400 occured since this will make the client immediately recognize the
1401 TCP connection has been disrupted and that the client will need
1402 to reestablish. This greatly speeds up the time it takes for a client
1403 to detect and reestablish after an IP failover in the ctdb cluster.

1410 Display the CTDB version.
1417 <title>DEBUGGING COMMANDS</title>
1419 These commands are primarily used for CTDB development and testing and
1420 should not be used for normal administration.
1425 <title>OPTIONS</title>
1428 <varlistentry><term>--print-emptyrecords</term>
1431 This enables printing of empty records when dumping databases
1432 with the catdb, cattbd and dumpdbbackup commands. Records with
1433 empty data segment are considered deleted by ctdb and cleaned
1434 by the vacuuming mechanism, so this switch can come in handy for
1435 debugging the vacuuming behaviour.
1440 <varlistentry><term>--print-datasize</term>
1443 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1444 size of the record data instead of dumping the data contents.
1449 <varlistentry><term>--print-lmaster</term>
1452 This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.
1457 <varlistentry><term>--print-hash</term>
1460 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1461 hash for each record.
1466 <varlistentry><term>--print-recordflags</term>
1469 This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the
1470 record flags for each record. Note that cattdb always
1480 <title>process-exists <parameter>PID</parameter></title>
1482 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.
1487 <title>getdbstatus <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1489 This command displays more details about a database.
1492 <title>Example</title>
1494 # ctdb getdbstatus test.tdb.0
1497 path: /var/ctdb/test.tdb.0
1501 # ctdb getdbstatus registry.tdb # with a corrupted TDB
1504 path: /var/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0
1506 HEALTH: NO-HEALTHY-NODES - ERROR - Backup of corrupted TDB in '/var/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0.corrupted.20091208091949.0Z'
1512 <title>catdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1514 Print a dump of the clustered TDB database DB.
1519 <title>cattdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1521 Print a dump of the contents of the local TDB database DB.
1526 <title>dumpdbbackup <parameter>FILE</parameter></title>
1528 Print a dump of the contents from database backup FILE,
1529 similar to <command>catdb</command>.
1534 <title>wipedb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1536 Remove all contents of database DB.
1541 <title>recover</title>
1543 This command will trigger the recovery daemon to do a cluster
1549 <title>ipreallocate, sync</title>
1551 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.
1556 <title>getmonmode</title>
1558 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.
1561 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.
1564 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.
1570 <title>setmonmode 0|1</title>
1572 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.
1577 <title>attach <parameter>DBNAME</parameter> [persistent]</title>
1579 Create a new CTDB database called DBNAME and attach to it on
1585 <title>detach <parameter>DB-LIST</parameter></title>
1587 Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This
1588 command will disconnect specified database(s) on all nodes in
1589 the cluster. This command should only be used when none of the
1590 specified database(s) are in use.
1593 All nodes should be active and tunable AllowClientDBAccess should
1594 be disabled on all nodes before detaching databases.
1599 <title>dumpmemory</title>
1601 This is a debugging command. This command will make the ctdb
1602 daemon to write a fill memory allocation map to standard output.
1607 <title>rddumpmemory</title>
1609 This is a debugging command. This command will dump the talloc memory
1610 allocation tree for the recovery daemon to standard output.
1617 Thaw a previously frozen node.
1623 <title>eventscript <parameter>ARGUMENTS</parameter></title>
1625 This is a debugging command. This command can be used to manually
1626 invoke and run the eventscritps with arbitrary arguments.
1631 <title>ban <parameter>BANTIME</parameter></title>
1633 Administratively ban a node for BANTIME seconds. The node
1634 will be unbanned after BANTIME seconds have elapsed.
1637 A banned node does not participate in the cluster. It does
1638 not host any records for the clustered TDB and does not host
1639 any public IP addresses.
1642 Nodes are automatically banned if they misbehave. For
1643 example, a node may be banned if it causes too many cluster
1647 To administratively exclude a node from a cluster use the
1648 <command>stop</command> command.
1653 <title>unban</title>
1655 This command is used to unban a node that has either been
1656 administratively banned using the ban command or has been
1657 automatically banned.
1664 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1667 This command marks the given nodes as rebalance targets in the
1668 LCP2 IP allocation algorithm. The
1669 <command>reloadips</command> command will do this as necessary
1670 so this command should not be needed.
1675 <title>check_srvids <parameter>SRVID</parameter> ...</title>
1677 This command checks whether a set of srvid message ports are
1678 registered on the node or not. The command takes a list of
1682 <title>Example</title>
1684 # ctdb check_srvids 1 2 3 14765
1685 Server id 0:1 does not exist
1686 Server id 0:2 does not exist
