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. Only nodes
296 that are participating in the VNN map can become lmaster for
302 <title>Recovery mode</title>
304 This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:
307 NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.
310 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.
313 Once the recovery master detects an inconsistency, for example a node
314 becomes disconnected/connected, the recovery daemon will trigger a
315 cluster recovery process, where all databases are remerged across the
316 cluster. When this process starts, the recovery master will first
317 "freeze" all databases to prevent applications such as samba from
318 accessing the databases and it will also mark the recovery mode as
322 When the CTDB daemon starts up, it will start in RECOVERY
323 mode. Once the node has been merged into a cluster and all
324 databases have been recovered, the node mode will change into
325 NORMAL mode and the databases will be "thawed", allowing samba
326 to access the databases again.
330 <title>Recovery master</title>
332 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.
335 Only one node at a time can be the designated recovery master. Which
336 node is designated the recovery master is decided by an election
337 process in the recovery daemons running on each node.
342 <title>Example</title>
346 pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
347 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
348 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
349 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
350 Generation:1362079228
356 Recovery mode:NORMAL (0)
363 <title>nodestatus <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional></title>
365 This command is similar to the <command>status</command>
366 command. It displays the "node status" subset of output. The
367 main differences are:
373 The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each
374 specified node, while <command>ctdb status</command> exits
375 with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.
381 <command>ctdb status</command> provides status information
382 for all nodes. <command>ctdb nodestatus</command>
383 defaults to providing status for only the current node.
384 If PNN-LIST is provided then status is given for
385 the indicated node(s).
391 A common invocation in scripts is <command>ctdb nodestatus
392 all</command> to check whether all nodes in a cluster are
397 <title>Example</title>
400 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
402 # ctdb nodestatus all
404 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
411 <title>recmaster</title>
413 This command shows the pnn of the node which is currently the recmaster.
417 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
418 might not be current.
423 <title>uptime</title>
425 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.
429 <title>Example</title>
432 Current time of node : Thu Oct 29 10:38:54 2009
433 Ctdbd start time : (000 16:54:28) Wed Oct 28 17:44:26 2009
434 Time of last recovery/failover: (000 16:53:31) Wed Oct 28 17:45:23 2009
435 Duration of last recovery/failover: 2.248552 seconds
441 <title>listnodes</title>
443 This command shows lists the ip addresses of all the nodes in the cluster.
447 <title>Example</title>
459 <title>natgw {master|list|status}</title>
461 This command shows different aspects of NAT gateway status.
462 For an overview of CTDB's NAT gateway functionality please see
463 the <citetitle>NAT GATEWAY</citetitle> section in
464 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>

515 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
516 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
526 This command will "ping" specified CTDB nodes in the cluster
527 to verify that they are running.
530 <title>Example</title>
533 response from 0 time=0.000054 sec (3 clients)
539 <title>ifaces</title>
541 This command will display the list of network interfaces, which could
542 host public addresses, along with their status.
545 <title>Example</title>
549 name:eth5 link:up references:2
550 name:eth4 link:down references:0
551 name:eth3 link:up references:1
552 name:eth2 link:up references:1
555 |Name|LinkStatus|References|
567 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".

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

1086 <title>getdebug</title>
1088 Get the current debug level for the node. the debug level controls what information is written to the log file.
1091 The debug levels are mapped to the corresponding syslog levels.
1092 When a debug level is set, only those messages at that level and higher
1093 levels will be printed.
1096 The list of debug levels from highest to lowest are :
1099 ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
1104 <title>setdebug <parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></title>
1106 Set the debug level of a node. This controls what information will be logged.
1109 The debuglevel is one of ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
1114 <title>getpid</title>
1116 This command will return the process id of the ctdb daemon.
1121 <title>disable</title>
1123 This command is used to administratively disable a node in the cluster.
1124 A disabled node will still participate in the cluster and host
1125 clustered TDB records but its public ip address has been taken over by
1126 a different node and it no longer hosts any services.
1131 <title>enable</title>
1133 Re-enable a node that has been administratively disabled.
1140 This command is used to administratively STOP a node in the cluster.
1141 A STOPPED node is connected to the cluster but will not host any
1142 public ip addresse, nor does it participate in the VNNMAP.
1143 The difference between a DISABLED node and a STOPPED node is that
1144 a STOPPED node does not host any parts of the database which means
1145 that a recovery is required to stop/continue nodes.
1150 <title>continue</title>
1152 Re-start a node that has been administratively stopped.
1157 <title>addip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter>/<parameter>mask</parameter> <parameter>IFACE</parameter></title>
1159 This command is used to add a new public ip to a node
1160 during runtime. It should be followed by a <command>ctdb
1161 ipreallocate</command>. This allows public addresses to be
1162 added to a cluster without having to restart the ctdb daemons.
1165 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of ctdb. Any
1166 changes will be lost next time ctdb is restarted and the public
1167 addresses file is re-read. If you want this change to be
1168 permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
1173 <title>delip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1175 This command flags IPADDR for deletion from a node at runtime.
1176 It should be followed by a <command>ctdb
1177 ipreallocate</command>. If IPADDR is currently hosted by the
1178 node it is being removed from, this ensures that the IP will
1179 first be failed over to another node, if possible, and that it
1180 is then actually removed.
1183 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of CTDB. Any
1184 changes will be lost next time CTDB is restarted and the
1185 public addresses file is re-read. If you want this change to
1186 be permanent you must also update the public addresses file
1192 <title>moveip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>PNN</parameter></title>
1194 This command can be used to manually fail a public ip address to a
1198 In order to manually override the "automatic" distribution of public
1199 ip addresses that ctdb normally provides, this command only works
1200 when you have changed the tunables for the daemon to:
1203 IPAllocAlgorithm != 0
1211 <title>shutdown</title>
1213 This command will shutdown a specific CTDB daemon.
1218 <title>setlmasterrole on|off</title>
1220 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.
1224 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.
1227 Once this setting has been enabled/disabled, you need to perform a recovery for it to take effect.
1230 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1235 <title>setrecmasterrole on|off</title>
1237 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.
1241 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.
1244 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1249 <title>reloadnodes</title>
1251 This command is used when adding new nodes, or removing
1252 existing nodes from an existing cluster.
1255 Procedure to add nodes:
1260 To expand an existing cluster, first ensure with
1261 <command>ctdb status</command> that all nodes are up and
1262 running and that they are all healthy. Do not try to
1263 expand a cluster unless it is completely healthy!
1268 On all nodes, edit <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename>
1269 and <emphasis>add the new nodes at the end of this
1275 Verify that all the nodes have identical
1276 <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename> files after adding
1282 Run <command>ctdb reloadnodes</command> to force all nodes
1283 to reload the nodes file.
1288 Use <command>ctdb status</command> on all nodes and verify
1289 that they now show the additional nodes.
1294 Install and configure the new node and bring it online.
1299 Procedure to remove nodes:
1304 To remove nodes from an existing cluster, first ensure
1305 with <command>ctdb status</command> that all nodes, except
1306 the node to be deleted, are up and running and that they
1307 are all healthy. Do not try to remove nodes from a
1308 cluster unless the cluster is completely healthy!
1313 Shutdown and power off the node to be removed.
1318 On all other nodes, edit the
1319 <filename>/usr/local/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename> file and
1320 <emphasis>comment out</emphasis> the nodes to be removed.
1321 <emphasis>Do not delete the lines for the deleted
1322 nodes</emphasis>, just comment them out by adding a '#' at
1323 the beginning of the lines.
1328 Run <command>ctdb reloadnodes</command> to force all nodes
1329 to reload the nodes file.
1334 Use <command>ctdb status</command> on all nodes and verify
1335 that the deleted nodes are no longer listed.
1345 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1348 This command reloads the public addresses configuration file
1349 on the specified nodes. When it completes addresses will be
1350 reconfigured and reassigned across the cluster as necessary.
1354 This command is currently unable to make changes to the
1355 netmask or interfaces associated with existing addresses.
1356 Such changes must be made in 2 steps by deleting addresses in
1357 question and re-adding then. Unfortunately this will disrupt
1358 connections to the changed addresses.
1363 <title>getdbmap</title>
1365 This command lists all clustered TDB databases that the CTDB
1366 daemon has attached to. Some databases are flagged as PERSISTENT,
1367 this means that the database stores data persistently and the
1368 data will remain across reboots. One example of such a database
1369 is secrets.tdb where information about how the cluster was joined
1370 to the domain is stored. Some database are flagged as REPLICATED,
1371 this means that the data in that database is replicated across all
1372 the nodes. But the data will not remain across reboots. This
1373 type of database is used by CTDB to store it's internal state.
1376 If a PERSISTENT database is not in a healthy state the database
1377 is flagged as UNHEALTHY. If there's at least one completely
1378 healthy node running in the cluster, it's possible that the
1379 content is restored by a recovery run automaticly. Otherwise an
1380 administrator needs to analyze the problem.
1383 See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb",
1384 "ctdb dumpbackup", "ctdb wipedb", "ctdb setvar AllowUnhealthyDBRead 1"
1385 and (if samba or tdb-utils are installed) "tdbtool check".
1388 Most databases are not persistent and only store the state
1389 information that the currently running samba daemons need. These
1390 databases are always wiped when ctdb/samba starts and when a

1424 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1425 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1428 Copy the contents of database DB to FILE. FILE can later be
1429 read back using <command>restoredb</command>. This is mainly
1430 useful for backing up persistent databases such as
1431 <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> and similar.
1438 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1439 <optional><parameter>DB</parameter></optional>
1442 This command restores a persistent database that was
1443 previously backed up using backupdb. By default the data will
1444 be restored back into the same database as it was created
1445 from. By specifying dbname you can restore the data into a
1451 <title>setdbreadonly <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1453 This command will enable the read-only record support for a
1454 database. This is an experimental feature to improve
1455 performance for contended records primarily in locking.tdb and
1456 brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you must set it on all
1457 nodes in the cluster.
1462 <title>setdbsticky <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1464 This command will enable the sticky record support for the
1465 specified database. This is an experimental feature to
1466 improve performance for contended records primarily in
1467 locking.tdb and brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you
1468 must set it on all nodes in the cluster.
1475 <title>INTERNAL COMMANDS</title>
1478 Internal commands are used by CTDB's scripts and are not
1479 required for managing a CTDB cluster. Their parameters and
1480 behaviour are subject to change.
1484 <title>gettickles <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1486 Show TCP connections that are registered with CTDB to be
1487 "tickled" if there is a failover.
1492 <title>gratarp <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>INTERFACE</parameter></title>
1494 Send out a gratuitous ARP for the specified interface through
1495 the specified interface. This command is mainly used by the
1502 pdelete <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1511 pfetch <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1514 Print the value associated with KEY in DB.
1521 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1522 <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1523 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1526 Store KEY in DB with contents of FILE as the associated value.
1533 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1534 <optional><parameter>FILE</parameter></optional>
1537 Read a list of key-value pairs, one per line from FILE, and
1538 store them in DB using a single transaction. An empty value
1539 is equivalent to deleting the given key.
1542 The key and value should be separated by spaces or tabs. Each
1543 key/value should be a printable string enclosed in
1549 <title>runstate [setup|first_recovery|startup|running]</title>
1551 Print the runstate of the specified node. Runstates are used
1552 to serialise important state transitions in CTDB, particularly
1556 If one or more optional runstate arguments are specified then
1557 the node must be in one of these runstates for the command to
1561 <title>Example</title>
1570 <title>setifacelink <parameter>IFACE</parameter> up|down</title>
1572 Set the internal state of network interface IFACE. This is
1573 typically used in the <filename>10.interface</filename> script
1574 in the "monitor" event.
1577 Example: ctdb setifacelink eth0 up
1582 <title>tickle</title>
1584 Read a list of TCP connections, one per line, from standard
1585 input and send a TCP tickle to the source host for each
1586 connection. A connection is specified as:
1589 <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter>
1592 A single connection can be specified on the command-line
1593 rather than on standard input.
1596 A TCP tickle is a TCP ACK packet with an invalid sequence and
1597 acknowledge number and will when received by the source host
1598 result in it sending an immediate correct ACK back to the
1602 TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has
1603 occurred since this will make the client immediately recognize the
1604 TCP connection has been disrupted and that the client will need
1605 to reestablish. This greatly speeds up the time it takes for a client
1606 to detect and reestablish after an IP failover in the ctdb cluster.
1611 <title>version</title>
1613 Display the CTDB version.
1620 <title>DEBUGGING COMMANDS</title>
1622 These commands are primarily used for CTDB development and testing and
1623 should not be used for normal administration.
1628 <title>OPTIONS</title>
1631 <varlistentry><term>--print-emptyrecords</term>
1634 This enables printing of empty records when dumping databases
1635 with the catdb, cattbd and dumpdbbackup commands. Records with
1636 empty data segment are considered deleted by ctdb and cleaned
1637 by the vacuuming mechanism, so this switch can come in handy for
1638 debugging the vacuuming behaviour.
1643 <varlistentry><term>--print-datasize</term>
1646 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1647 size of the record data instead of dumping the data contents.
1652 <varlistentry><term>--print-lmaster</term>
1655 This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.
1660 <varlistentry><term>--print-hash</term>
1663 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1664 hash for each record.
1669 <varlistentry><term>--print-recordflags</term>
1672 This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the
1673 record flags for each record. Note that cattdb always
1683 <title>process-exists <parameter>PID</parameter> <parameter>[SRVID]</parameter></title>
1685 This command checks if a specific process exists on the CTDB
1686 host. This is mainly used by Samba to check if remote instances
1687 of samba are still running or not. When the optional SRVID
1688 argument is specified, the command check if a specific process
1689 exists on the CTDB host and has registered for specified SRVID.
1694 <title>getdbstatus <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1696 This command displays more details about a database.
1699 <title>Example</title>
1701 # ctdb getdbstatus test.tdb.0
1704 path: /usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/test.tdb.0
1708 # ctdb getdbstatus registry.tdb # with a corrupted TDB
1711 path: /usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0
1713 HEALTH: NO-HEALTHY-NODES - ERROR - Backup of corrupted TDB in '/usr/local/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0.corrupted.20091208091949.0Z'
1719 <title>catdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1721 Print a dump of the clustered TDB database DB.
1726 <title>cattdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1728 Print a dump of the contents of the local TDB database DB.
1733 <title>dumpdbbackup <parameter>FILE</parameter></title>
1735 Print a dump of the contents from database backup FILE,
1736 similar to <command>catdb</command>.
1741 <title>wipedb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1743 Remove all contents of database DB.
1748 <title>recover</title>
1750 This command will trigger the recovery daemon to do a cluster
1756 <title>ipreallocate, sync</title>
1758 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.
1763 <title>getmonmode</title>
1765 This command prints the monitoring mode of a node. This
1766 indicates when CTDB is monitoring services on the node. The
1767 monitoring mode is either ENABLED or DISABLED.
1772 <title>attach <parameter>DBNAME</parameter> [persistent|replicated]</title>
1774 Create a new CTDB database called DBNAME and attach to it on
1780 <title>detach <parameter>DB-LIST</parameter></title>
1782 Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This
1783 command will disconnect specified database(s) on all nodes in
1784 the cluster. This command should only be used when none of the
1785 specified database(s) are in use.
1788 All nodes should be active and tunable AllowClientDBAccess should
1789 be disabled on all nodes before detaching databases.
1794 <title>dumpmemory</title>
1796 This is a debugging command. This command will make the ctdb
1797 daemon to write a fill memory allocation map to standard output.
1802 <title>rddumpmemory</title>
1804 This is a debugging command. This command will dump the talloc memory
1805 allocation tree for the recovery daemon to standard output.
1810 <title>ban <parameter>BANTIME</parameter></title>
1812 Administratively ban a node for BANTIME seconds. The node
1813 will be unbanned after BANTIME seconds have elapsed.
1816 A banned node does not participate in the cluster. It does
1817 not host any records for the clustered TDB and does not host
1818 any public IP addresses.
1821 Nodes are automatically banned if they misbehave. For
1822 example, a node may be banned if it causes too many cluster
1826 To administratively exclude a node from a cluster use the
1827 <command>stop</command> command.
1832 <title>unban</title>
1834 This command is used to unban a node that has either been
1835 administratively banned using the ban command or has been
1836 automatically banned.
1841 <title>check_srvids <parameter>SRVID</parameter> ...</title>
1843 This command checks whether a set of srvid message ports are
1844 registered on the node or not. The command takes a list of
1848 <title>Example</title>
1850 # ctdb check_srvids 1 2 3 14765
1851 Server id 0:1 does not exist
