21 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
24 This file contains CTDB configuration variables that are affect
25 the operation of CTDB. The default location of this file is
26 <filename>/etc/ctdb/ctdbd.conf</filename>.
30 This file is a shell script (see
31 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sh</refentrytitle>
32 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>) but is usually limited
33 to simple variable assignments and shell-style comments.
37 CTDB configuration variables are grouped into several categories below.
41 Variables defined in this document can also be set in a
42 distribution-specific configuration file such as
43 <filename>/etc/sysconfig/ctdb</filename> (Red Hat) or
44 <filename>/etc/default/ctdb</filename> (Debian). However, these
45 files should be reserved for variables used by the initscript.
46 A historical alternative is
47 <filename>/etc/ctdb/sysconfig/ctdb</filename> - this is
55 INITSCRIPT CONFIGURATION
59 Some options must be available to the initscript so they need to
60 be set in the distribution-specific initscript configuration,
61 such as <filename>/etc/sysconfig/ctdb</filename> or
62 <filename>/etc/default/ctdb</filename>.
68 <term>CTDB_PIDFILE=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
71 FILENAME is the name of the file used to contain the
72 process ID (PID) of the main CTDB daemon when it is
73 running. This is passed from the initscript to
74 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdbd_wrapper</refentrytitle>
75 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
79 Default is <filename>/var/run/ctdb/ctdbd.pid</filename>.
80 Corresponds to <option>--pidfile</option>.
94 These options may be used in the initscripts, daemon and
101 <term>CTDB_BASE=<parameter>DIRECTORY</parameter></term>
104 DIRECTORY containing CTDB scripts and configuration files.

141 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> options is shown for
142 each variable. The the documentation for the relevant options
147 Many of these variables are also used by event scripts.

156 Defaults to yes. Corresponds to <option>--no-lmaster</option>.
162 <term>CTDB_CAPABILITY_RECMASTER=yes|no</term>
165 Defaults to yes. Corresponds to
166 <option>--no-recmaster</option>.
172 <term>CTDB_DBDIR=<parameter>DIRECTORY</parameter></term>
175 Defaults to <varname>CTDB_VARDIR</varname>. Corresponds to
176 <option>--dbdir</option>.
182 <term>CTDB_DBDIR_PERSISTENT=<parameter>DIRECTORY</parameter></term>
185 Defaults to <varname>CTDB_VARDIR</varname>/persistent.
186 Corresponds to <option>--dbdir-persistent</option>.
192 <term>CTDB_DBDIR_STATE=<parameter>DIRECTORY</parameter></term>
195 Defaults to <varname>CTDB_VARDIR</varname>/state.
196 Corresponds to <option>--dbdir-state</option>.
202 <term>CTDB_DEBUGLEVEL=<parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></term>
205 Default is ERR (0). Corresponds to <option>-d</option> or
206 <option>--debug</option>.
212 <term>CTDB_EVENT_SCRIPT_DIR=<parameter>DIRECTORY</parameter></term>
215 Default is <varname>CTDB_BASE</varname>/events.d, so usually
216 <filename>/etc/ctdb/events.d</filename>. Corresponds to
217 <option>--event-script-dir</option>.
223 <term>CTDB_LOGGING=<parameter>STRING</parameter></term>
226 STRING specifies where ctdbd will write its log. The
227 default is file:<filename>/var/log/log.ctdb</filename> or
228 similar - the prefix may differ depending on how CTDB was
229 built. Corresponds to <option>--logging</option>.
236 <term>file:<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
239 FILENAME where ctdbd will write its log. This is usually
240 <filename>/var/log/log.ctdb</filename>.
245 <term>syslog<optional>:<parameter>METHOD</parameter></optional></term>
248 CTDB will log to syslog. By default this will use
252 If METHOD is specified then it specifies an
253 extension that causes logging to be done in a
254 non-blocking fashion. This can be useful under
255 heavy loads that might cause the syslog daemon to
256 dequeue messages too slowly, which would otherwise
257 cause CTDB to block when logging. METHOD must be
262 <term>nonblocking</term>
265 CTDB will log to syslog via
266 <filename>/dev/log</filename> in non-blocking
275 CTDB will log to syslog via UDP to
276 localhost:514. The syslog daemon must be
277 configured to listen on (at least)
278 localhost:514. Most implementations will log
279 the messages against hostname "localhost" -
280 this is a limit of the implementation for
281 compatibility with more syslog daemon
287 <term>udp-rfc5424</term>
290 As with "udp" but messages are sent in RFC5424
291 format. This method will log the correct
292 hostname but is not as widely implemented in
305 <term>CTDB_LVS_PUBLIC_IP=<parameter>IPADDR</parameter></term>
308 No default. Corresponds to "<option>--lvs</option>
309 <option>--single-public-ip IPADDR"</option>.
315 <term>CTDB_NODES=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
318 Default is <varname>CTDB_BASE</varname>/nodes, so usually
319 <filename>/etc/ctdb/nodes</filename>. Corresponds to
320 <option>--nlist</option>.
326 <term>CTDB_NOTIFY_SCRIPT=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
330 <filename>/etc/ctdb/notify.sh</filename>. Corresponds to

337 <term>CTDB_MAX_PERSISTENT_CHECK_ERRORS=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
340 Default 0. Corresponds to
341 <option>--max-persistent-check-errors</option>.
347 <term>CTDB_PUBLIC_ADDRESSES=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
351 <filename>/etc/ctdb/public_addresses</filename>.
352 Corresponds to <option>--public-addresses</option>.
358 <term>CTDB_PUBLIC_INTERFACE=<parameter>INTERFACE</parameter></term>
361 No default. Corresponds to
362 <option>--public-interface</option>.
368 <term>CTDB_RECOVERY_LOCK=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
372 <filename>/some/place/on/shared/storage</filename>, which
373 should be change to a useful value. Corresponds to
374 <option>--reclock</option>.
380 <term>CTDB_SCRIPT_LOG_LEVEL=<parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></term>
383 Defaults to ERR (0). Corresponds to
384 <option>--script-log-level</option>.
390 <term>CTDB_SOCKET=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
393 Defaults to <filename>/tmp/ctdb.socket</filename>.
394 Corresponds to <option>--socket</option>.
397 If you change this then you probably want to set this in
398 root's enviroment (perhaps in a file in
399 <filename>/etc/profile.d</filename>) so that you can use
400 the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
401 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> command in a
402 straightforward manner.
408 <term>CTDB_START_AS_DISABLED=yes|no</term>
411 Default is no. Corresponds to
412 <option>--start-as-disabled</option>.
418 <term>CTDB_START_AS_STOPPED=yes|no</term>
421 Default is no. Corresponds to
422 <option>--start-as-stopped</option>.
428 <term>CTDB_TRANSPORT=tcp|infiniband</term>
431 Defaults to tcp. Corresponds to
432 <option>--transport</option>.
440 While the following variables do not translate into daemon
441 options they are used by
442 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdbd_wrapper</refentrytitle>
443 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> when starting and
444 stopping <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdbd</refentrytitle>
445 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
451 <term>CTDB_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
454 NUM is the number of seconds to wait for
455 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdbd</refentrytitle>
456 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> to shut down
457 gracefully before giving up and killing it.
467 <term>CTDB_STARTUP_TIMEOUT=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
470 NUM is the number of seconds to wait for
471 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdbd</refentrytitle>
472 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> complete early
473 initialisation up to a point where it is unlikely to
474 abort. If <command>ctdbd</command> doesn't complete the
475 "setup" event before this timeout then it is killed.
488 <title>NETWORK CONFIGURATION</title>
491 <title>NAT GATEWAY</title>
494 NAT gateway is used to configure fallback routing for nodes
495 when they do not host any public IP addresses. For example,
496 it allows unhealthy nodes to reliably communicate with
497 external infrastructure. One node in a NAT gateway group will
498 be designated as the NAT gateway master node and other (slave)
499 nodes will be configured with fallback routes via the NAT
500 gateway master node. For more information, see the
501 <citetitle>NAT GATEWAY</citetitle> section in
502 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
503 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
509 <term>CTDB_NATGW_DEFAULT_GATEWAY=<parameter>IPADDR</parameter></term>
512 IPADDR is an alternate network gateway to use on the NAT
513 gateway master node. If set, a fallback default route
514 is added via this network gateway.
517 No default. Setting this variable is optional - if not
518 set that no route is created on the NAT gateway master
525 <term>CTDB_NATGW_NODES=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
528 FILENAME contains the list of nodes that belong to the
529 same NAT gateway group.
534 <parameter>IPADDR</parameter>
539 <filename>/etc/ctdb/natgw_nodes</filename> when enabled.
545 <term>CTDB_NATGW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=<parameter>IPADDR/MASK</parameter></term>
548 IPADDR/MASK is the private sub-network that is
549 internally routed via the NAT gateway master node. This
550 is usually the private network that is used for node
560 <term>CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IFACE=<parameter>IFACE</parameter></term>
563 IFACE is the network interface on which the
564 CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP will be configured.
573 <term>CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP=<parameter>IPADDR/MASK</parameter></term>
576 IPADDR/MASK indicates the IP address that is used for
577 outgoing traffic (originating from
578 CTDB_NATGW_PRIVATE_NETWORK) on the NAT gateway master
579 node. This <emphasis>must not</emphasis> be a
580 configured public IP address.
589 <term>CTDB_NATGW_SLAVE_ONLY=yes|no</term>
592 When set to "yes" a node can not be a NAT gateway master
594 <varname>CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IFACE</varname> and
595 <varname>CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP</varname> are optional
605 <term>CTDB_NATGW_STATIC_ROUTES=<parameter>IPADDR/MASK[@GATEWAY]</parameter> ...</term>
608 Each IPADDR/MASK identifies a network or host to which
609 NATGW should create a fallback route, instead of
610 creating a single default route. This can be used when
611 there is already a default route, via an interface that
612 can not reach required infrastructure, that overrides
613 the NAT gateway default route.
616 If GATEWAY is specified then the corresponding route on
617 the NATGW master node will be via GATEWAY. Such routes
619 <varname>CTDB_NATGW_DEFAULT_GATEWAY</varname> is not
620 specified. If GATEWAY is not specified for some
621 networks then routes are only created on the NATGW
622 master node for those networks if
623 <varname>CTDB_NATGW_DEFAULT_GATEWAY</varname> is
627 This should be used with care to avoid causing traffic
628 to unnecessarily double-hop through the NAT gateway
629 master, even when a node is hosting public IP addresses.
630 Each specified network or host should probably have a
631 corresponding automatically created link route or static
643 <title>Example</title>
645 CTDB_NATGW_NODES=/etc/ctdb/natgw_nodes
646 CTDB_NATGW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24
647 CTDB_NATGW_DEFAULT_GATEWAY=10.0.0.1
648 CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.227/24
649 CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IFACE=eth0
653 A variation that ensures that infrastructure (ADS, DNS, ...)
654 directly attached to the public network (10.0.0.0/24) is
655 always reachable would look like this:
658 CTDB_NATGW_NODES=/etc/ctdb/natgw_nodes
659 CTDB_NATGW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24
660 CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.227/24
661 CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IFACE=eth0
662 CTDB_NATGW_STATIC_ROUTES=10.0.0.0/24
665 Note that <varname>CTDB_NATGW_DEFAULT_GATEWAY</varname> is
673 <title>POLICY ROUTING</title>
676 A node running CTDB may be a component of a complex network
677 topology. In particular, public addresses may be spread
678 across several different networks (or VLANs) and it may not be
679 possible to route packets from these public addresses via the
680 system's default route. Therefore, CTDB has support for
681 policy routing via the <filename>13.per_ip_routing</filename>
682 eventscript. This allows routing to be specified for packets
683 sourced from each public address. The routes are added and
684 removed as CTDB moves public addresses between nodes.
688 For more information, see the <citetitle>POLICY
689 ROUTING</citetitle> section in
690 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
691 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
696 <term>CTDB_PER_IP_ROUTING_CONF=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
699 FILENAME contains elements for constructing the desired
700 routes for each source address.
704 The special FILENAME value
705 <constant>__auto_link_local__</constant> indicates that no
706 configuration file is provided and that CTDB should
707 generate reasonable link-local routes for each public IP

720 <filename>/etc/ctdb/policy_routing</filename> when enabled.
726 <term>CTDB_PER_IP_ROUTING_RULE_PREF=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
729 NUM sets the priority (or preference) for the routing
730 rules that are added by CTDB.
734 This should be (strictly) greater than 0 and (strictly)
735 less than 32766. A priority of 100 is recommended, unless
736 this conflicts with a priority already in use on the
738 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ip</refentrytitle>

746 CTDB_PER_IP_ROUTING_TABLE_ID_LOW=<parameter>LOW-NUM</parameter>,
747 CTDB_PER_IP_ROUTING_TABLE_ID_HIGH=<parameter>HIGH-NUM</parameter>
751 CTDB determines a unique routing table number to use for
752 the routing related to each public address. LOW-NUM and
753 HIGH-NUM indicate the minimum and maximum routing table
754 numbers that are used.
758 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ip</refentrytitle>
759 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> uses some
760 reserved routing table numbers below 255. Therefore,
761 CTDB_PER_IP_ROUTING_TABLE_ID_LOW should be (strictly)
766 CTDB uses the standard file
767 <filename>/etc/iproute2/rt_tables</filename> to maintain
768 a mapping between the routing table numbers and labels.
769 The label for a public address
770 <replaceable>ADDR</replaceable> will look like
771 ctdb.<replaceable>addr</replaceable>. This means that
772 the associated rules and routes are easy to read (and
777 No default, usually 1000 and 9000.

796 <title>MISCELLANEOUS NETWORK CONFIGURATION</title>
801 <term>CTDB_PARTIALLY_ONLINE_INTERFACES=yes|no</term>
804 Whether one or more offline interfaces should cause a
805 monitor event to fail if there are other interfaces that
806 are up. If this is "yes" and a node has some interfaces
807 that are down then <command>ctdb status</command> will
808 display the node as "PARTIALLYONLINE".
823 <title>SERVICE CONFIGURATION</title>
826 CTDB can be configured to manage and/or monitor various NAS (and
827 other) services via its eventscripts.
831 In the simplest case CTDB will manage a service. This means the
832 service will be started and stopped along with CTDB, CTDB will
833 monitor the service and CTDB will do any required
834 reconfiguration of the service when public IP addresses are

1008 Whether to monitor the NFS kernel server thread count.
1011 This works around a limitation in some NFS initscripts
1012 where some threads can be stuck in host filesystem calls
1013 (perhaps due to slow storage), a restart occurs, some
1014 threads don't exit, the start only adds the missing
1015 number of threads, the stuck threads exit, and the
1016 result is a lower than expected thread count. Note that
1017 if you must also set <varname>RPCNFSDCOUNT</varname>
1018 (RedHat/Debian) or <varname>USE_KERNEL_NFSD_NUMBER</varname>
1019 (SUSE) in your NFS configuration so the monitoring code
1020 knows how many threads there should be - if neither of
1021 these are set then this option will be ignored.
1030 <term>CTDB_NFS_DUMP_STUCK_THREADS=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
1033 NUM is the number of NFS kernel server threads to dump
1034 stack traces for if some are still alive after stopping
1035 NFS during a restart.

1316 SYSTEM RESOURCE MONITORING CONFIGURATION
1320 CTDB can experience seemingly random (performance and other)
1321 issues if system resources become too contrained. Options in
1322 this section can be enabled to allow certain system resources to

1331 <member><filename>40.fs_use</filename></member>
1335 Filesystem usage monitoring is in
1336 <filename>40.fs_use</filename>. This eventscript is not
1337 enabled by default. Use <command>ctdb
1338 enablescript</command> to enable it.
1345 <term>CTDB_CHECK_FS_USE=<parameter>FS-LIMIT-LIST</parameter></term>
1348 FS-LIMIT-LIST is a space-separated list of
1349 <parameter>FILESYSTEM</parameter>:<parameter>LIMIT</parameter>
1350 pairs indicating that a node should be flagged unhealthy
1351 if the space used on FILESYSTEM reaches LIMIT%.
1359 Note that this feature uses the
1360 <filename>40.fs_use</filename> eventscript, which is not
1361 enabled by default. Use <command>ctdb
1362 enablescript</command> to enable it.
1368 <term>CTDB_CHECK_SWAP_IS_NOT_USED=yes|no</term>
1371 Should a warning be logged if swap space is in use.
1380 <term>CTDB_MONITOR_FREE_MEMORY=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
1383 NUM is a lower limit on available system memory, expressed
1384 in megabytes. If this is set and the amount of available
1385 memory falls below this limit then some debug information
1386 will be logged, the node will be disabled and then CTDB
1396 <term>CTDB_MONITOR_FREE_MEMORY_WARN=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
1399 NUM is a lower limit on available system memory, expressed
1400 in megabytes. If this is set and the amount of available
1401 memory falls below this limit then a warning will be
1414 <title>MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE-RELATED CONFIGURATION</title>
1419 <term>CTDB_MANAGED_SERVICES=<parameter>SERVICE-LIST</parameter></term>
1422 SERVICE-LIST is a space-separated list of SERVICEs that
1423 CTDB should manage. This can be used as an alternative
1425 <varname>CTDB_MANAGES_<replaceable>SERVICE</replaceable></varname>
1435 <term>CTDB_SERVICE_AUTOSTARTSTOP=yes|no</term>

1439 managed or unmanaged.
1455 TUNABLES CONFIGURATION
1460 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdbd-tunables</refentrytitle>
1461 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>) can be set from the
1462 configuration file. They are set as follows:
1465 CTDB_SET_<replaceable>TUNABLE</replaceable>=<replaceable>VALUE</replaceable>
1472 <screen format="linespecific">
1473 CTDB_SET_MonitorInterval=20
1484 Variable in this section are for debugging and testing CTDB.
1485 They should not generally be needed.
1491 <term>CTDB_DEBUG_HUNG_SCRIPT=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
1494 FILENAME is a script to run to log debug information when
1495 an event script times out.
1498 Default is <filename><varname>CTDB_BASE</varname>/debug-hung-script.sh</filename>.
1504 <term>CTDB_DEBUG_HUNG_SCRIPT_LOGFILE=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
1507 FILENAME specifies where log messages should go when
1508 debugging hung eventscripts. This is a testing option.
1509 See also <citetitle>CTDB_DEBUG_HUNG_SCRIPT</citetitle>.
1512 No default. Messages go to stdout/stderr and are logged
1513 to the same place as other CTDB log messages.
1519 <term>CTDB_DEBUG_HUNG_SCRIPT_STACKPAT=<parameter>REGEXP</parameter></term>
1522 REGEXP specifies interesting processes for which stack
1523 traces should be logged when debugging hung eventscripts
1524 and those processes are matched in pstree output. REGEXP
1525 is an extended regexp so choices are separated by pipes
1526 ('|'). However, REGEXP should not contain parentheses.
1527 See also <citetitle>CTDB_DEBUG_HUNG_SCRIPT</citetitle>.
1530 Default is "exportfs|rpcinfo".
1536 <term>CTDB_DEBUG_LOCKS=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
1539 FILENAME is a script to run to log debug information when
1540 an CTDB fails to freeze databases during recovery.
1544 <filename><varname>CTDB_BASE</varname>/debug_locks.sh</filename>.
1550 <term>CTDB_ETCDIR=<parameter>DIRECTORY</parameter></term>
1553 DIRECTORY containing system configuration files. This is
1554 used to provide alternate configuration when testing and
1555 should not need to be changed from the default.
1558 Default is <filename>/etc</filename>.
1564 <term>CTDB_INIT_STYLE=debian|redhat|suse</term>
1567 This is the init style used by the Linux distribution (or
1568 other operating system) being used. This is usually
1569 determined dynamically by checking the system. This
1570 variable is used by the initscript to determine which init
1571 system primitives to use. It is also used by some
1572 eventscripts to choose the name of initscripts for certain
1573 services, since these can vary between distributions.
1579 If this option needs to be changed from the calculated
1580 default for the initscript to function properly, then it
1581 must be set in the distribution-specific initscript
1582 configuration, such as
1583 <filename>/etc/sysconfig/ctdb</filename>
1589 <term>CTDB_MAX_CORRUPT_DB_BACKUPS=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
1592 NUM is the maximum number of volatile TDB database backups
1593 to be kept (for each database) when a corrupt database is
1594 found during startup. Volatile TDBs are zeroed during
1595 startup so backups are needed to debug any corruption that
1596 occurs before a restart.
1605 <term>CTDB_RC_LOCAL=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
1608 FILENAME is a script fragment to be sourced by the
1609 <filename>functions</filename> that is sourced by scripts.
1610 On example use would be to override function definitions
1611 in unit tests. As a sanity check, this file must be
1612 executable for it to be used.
1621 <term>CTDB_RUN_TIMEOUT_MONITOR=yes|no</term>
1624 Whether CTDB should simulate timing out monitor events.
1625 This uses the <filename>99.timeout</filename> eventscript.
1634 <term>CTDB_SCRIPT_DEBUGLEVEL=<parameter>NUM</parameter></term>
1637 NUM is the level debugging messages printed by CTDB
1638 scripts. Setting this to a higher number (e.g. 4) will
1639 cause some scripts to log more messages.
1648 <term>CTDB_SUPPRESS_COREFILE=yes|no</term>
1651 Whether CTDB core files should be suppressed.
1660 <term>CTDB_VALGRIND=yes|no|<parameter>COMMAND</parameter></term>
1663 If "yes", this causes
1664 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdbd</refentrytitle>
1665 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> to be run under
1666 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>valgrind</refentrytitle>
1667 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> with logs going to
1668 <filename>/var/log/ctdb_valgrind</filename>. If neither
1669 "yes" nor "no" then the value is assumed to be a COMMAND
1670 (e.g. a <command>valgrind</command> variation, a
1671 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gdb</refentrytitle>
1672 <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> command) that is
1673 used in place of the default <command>valgrind</command>
1674 command. In either case, the <option>--valgrind</option>
1675 option is passed to <command>ctdbd</command>.
