DESCRIPTION
ctdbd is the main ctdb daemon.
ctdbd provides a clustered version of the TDB database with automatic
rebuild/recovery of the databases upon nodefailures.
Combined with a cluster filesystem ctdbd provides a full HA environment
for services such as clustered Samba and NFS as well as other services.
ctdbd provides monitoring of all nodes in the cluster and automatically
reconfigures the cluster and recovers upon node failures.
ctdbd is the main component in clustered Samba that provides a
high-availability load-sharing CIFS server cluster.
OPTIONS
-? --help
Print some help text to the screen.
-d --debug=<DEBUGLEVEL>
This option sets the debuglevel on the ctdbd daemon which controls
what will be written to the logfile. The default is 0 which will
only log important events and errors. A larger number will provide
additional logging.
--dbdir=<directory>
This is the directory on local storage where ctdbd keeps the local
copy of the TDB databases. This directory is local for each node
and should not be stored on the shared cluster filesystem.
This directory would usually be /var/ctdb .
--dbdir-persistent=<directory>
This is the directory on local storage where ctdbd keeps the local
copy of the persistent TDB databases. This directory is local for
each node and should not be stored on the shared cluster
filesystem.
This directory would usually be /etc/ctdb/persistent .
--event-script-dir=<directory>
This option is used to specify the directory where the CTDB event
scripts are stored.
This will normally be /etc/ctdb/events.d which is part of the ctdb
distribution.
-i --interactive
By default ctdbd will detach itself from the shell and run in the
background as a daemon. This option makes ctdbd to start in
interactive mode.
--listen=<address>
This specifies which ip address ctdb will bind to. By default ctdbd
will bind to the first address it finds in the /etc/ctdb/nodes file
and which is also present on the local system in which case you do
not need to provide this option.
This option is only required when you want to run multiple ctdbd
daemons/nodes on the same physical host in which case there would
be multiple entries in /etc/ctdb/nodes what would match a local
interface.
--logfile=<filename>
This is the file where ctdbd will write its log. This is usually
/var/log/log.ctdb .
--lvs
This option is used to activate the LVS capability on a CTDB node.
Please see the LVS section.
--nlist=<filename>
This file contains a list of the private ip addresses of every node
in the cluster. There is one line/ip address for each node. This
file must be the same for all nodes in the cluster.
This file is usually /etc/ctdb/nodes .
--no-lmaster
This argument specifies that this node can NOT become an lmaster
for records in the database. This means that it will never show up
in the vnnmap. This feature is primarily used for making a cluster
span across a WAN link and use CTDB as a WAN-accelerator.
Please see the "remote cluster nodes" section for more information.
--no-recmaster
This argument specifies that this node can NOT become a recmaster
for the database. This feature is primarily used for making a
cluster span across a WAN link and use CTDB as a WAN-accelerator.
Please see the "remote cluster nodes" section for more information.
--nosetsched
This is a ctdbd debugging option. this option is only used when
debugging ctdbd.
Normally ctdb will change its scheduler to run as a real-time
process. This is the default mode for a normal ctdbd operation to
gurarantee that ctdbd always gets the cpu cycles that it needs.
This option is used to tell ctdbd to NOT run as a real-time process
and instead run ctdbd as a normal userspace process. This is useful
for debugging and when you want to run ctdbd under valgrind or gdb.
(You dont want to attach valgrind or gdb to a real-time process.)
--notification-script=<filename>
This specifies a script which will be invoked by ctdb when certain
state changes occur in ctdbd and when you may want to trigger this
to run certain scripts.
This file is usually /etc/ctdb/notify.sh .
See the NOTIFICATION SCRIPT section below for more information.
--public_addresses=<filename>
When used with IP takeover this specifies a file containing the
public ip addresses to use on the cluster. This file contains a
list of ip addresses netmasks and interfaces. When ctdb is
operational it will distribute these public ip addresses evenly
across the available nodes.
This is usually the file /etc/ctdb/public_addresses
--public-interface=<interface>
This option tells ctdb which interface to attach public-addresses
to and also where to attach the single-public-ip when used.
This is only required when using public ip addresses and only when
you dont specify the interface explicitly in
/etc/ctdb/public_addresses or when you are using
--single-public-ip.
If you omit this argument when using public addresses or single
public ip, ctdb will not be able to send out Gratious ARPs
correctly or be able to kill tcp connections correctly which will
lead to application failures.
--reclock=<filename>
This is the name of the lock file stored of the shared cluster
filesystem that ctdbd uses to prevent split brains from occuring.
This file must be stored on shared storage.
It is possible to run CTDB without a reclock file, but then there
will be no protection against split brain if the network becomes
partitioned. Using CTDB without a reclock file is strongly
discouraged.
--socket=<filename>
This specifies the name of the domain socket that ctdbd will
create. This socket is used for local clients to attach to and
communicate with the ctdbd daemon.
The default is /tmp/ctdb.socket . You only need to use this option
if you plan to run multiple ctdbd daemons on the same physical
host.
--start-as-disabled
This makes the ctdb daemon to be DISABLED when it starts up.
As it is DISABLED it will not get any of the public ip addresses
allocated to it, and thus this allow you to start ctdb on a node
without causing any ip address to failover from other nodes onto
the new node.
When used, the administrator must keep track of when nodes start
and manually enable them again using the "ctdb enable" command, or
else the node will not host any services.
A node that is DISABLED will not host any services and will not be
reachable/used by any clients.
--start-as-stopped
This makes the ctdb daemon to be STOPPED when it starts up.
A node that is STOPPED does not host any public addresses. It is
not part of the VNNMAP so it does act as an LMASTER. It also has
all databases locked in recovery mode until restarted.
To restart and activate a STOPPED node, the command "ctdb continue"
is used.
A node that is STOPPED will not host any services and will not be
reachable/used by any clients.
--syslog
Send all log messages to syslog instead of to the ctdb logfile.
--torture
This option is only used for development and testing of ctdbd. It
adds artificial errors and failures to the common codepaths in
ctdbd to verify that ctdbd can recover correctly for failures.
You do NOT want to use this option unless you are developing and
testing new functionality in ctdbd.
--transport=<STRING>
This option specifies which transport to use for ctdbd internode
communications. The default is "tcp".
Currently only "tcp" is supported but "infiniband" might be
implemented in the future.
--usage
Print useage information to the screen.
PRIVATE VS PUBLIC ADDRESSES
When used for ip takeover in a HA environment, each node in a ctdb
cluster has multiple ip addresses assigned to it. One private and one
or more public.
Private address
This is the physical ip address of the node which is configured in
linux and attached to a physical interface. This address uniquely
identifies a physical node in the cluster and is the ip addresses that
ctdbd will use to communicate with the ctdbd daemons on the other nodes
in the cluster.
The private addresses are configured in /etc/ctdb/nodes (unless the
--nlist option is used) and contain one line for each node in the
cluster. Each line contains the private ip address for one node in the
cluster. This file must be the same on all nodes in the cluster.
Since the private addresses are only available to the network when the
corresponding node is up and running you should not use these addresses
for clients to connect to services provided by the cluster. Instead
client applications should only attach to the public addresses since
these are guaranteed to always be available.
When using ip takeover, it is strongly recommended that the private
addresses are configured on a private network physically separated from
the rest of the network and that this private network is dedicated to
CTDB traffic.
Example /etc/ctdb/nodes for a four node cluster:
10.1.1.1
10.1.1.2
10.1.1.3
10.1.1.4
Public address
A public address on the other hand is not attached to an interface.
This address is managed by ctdbd itself and is attached/detached to a
physical node at runtime.
The ctdb cluster will assign/reassign these public addresses across the
available healthy nodes in the cluster. When one node fails, its public
address will be migrated to and taken over by a different node in the
cluster to ensure that all public addresses are always available to
clients as long as there are still nodes available capable of hosting
this address.
These addresses are not physically attached to a specific node. The
´ctdb ip´ command can be used to view the current assignment of public
addresses and which physical node is currently serving it.
On each node this file contains a list of the public addresses that
this node is capable of hosting. The list also contain the netmask and
the interface where this address should be attached for the case where
you may want to serve data out through multiple different interfaces.
Example /etc/ctdb/public_addresses for a node that can host 4
public addresses:
11.1.1.1/24 eth0
11.1.1.2/24 eth0
11.1.2.1/24 eth1
11.1.2.2/24 eth1
In most cases this file would be the same on all nodes in a cluster but
there are exceptions when one may want to use different files on
different nodes.
Example: 4 nodes partitioned into two subgroups :
Node 0:/etc/ctdb/public_addresses
10.1.1.1/24 eth0
10.1.1.2/24 eth0
Node 1:/etc/ctdb/public_addresses
10.1.1.1/24 eth0
10.1.1.2/24 eth0
Node 2:/etc/ctdb/public_addresses
10.2.1.1/24 eth0
10.2.1.2/24 eth0
Node 3:/etc/ctdb/public_addresses
10.2.1.1/24 eth0
10.2.1.2/24 eth0
In this example nodes 0 and 1 host two public addresses on the 10.1.1.x
network while nodes 2 and 3 host two public addresses for the 10.2.1.x
network.
Ip address 10.1.1.1 can be hosted by either of nodes 0 or 1 and will be
available to clients as long as at least one of these two nodes are
available. If both nodes 0 and node 1 become unavailable 10.1.1.1 also
becomes unavailable. 10.1.1.1 can not be failed over to node 2 or node
3 since these nodes do not have this ip address listed in their public
addresses file.
NODE STATUS
The current status of each node in the cluster can be viewed by the
´ctdb status´ command.
There are five possible states for a node.
OK - This node is fully functional.
DISCONNECTED - This node could not be connected through the network and
is currently not particpating in the cluster. If there is a public IP
address associated with this node it should have been taken over by a
different node. No services are running on this node.
DISABLED - This node has been administratively disabled. This node is
still functional and participates in the CTDB cluster but its IP
addresses have been taken over by a different node and no services are
currently being hosted.
UNHEALTHY - A service provided by this node is malfunctioning and
should be investigated. The CTDB daemon itself is operational and
participates in the cluster. Its public IP address has been taken over
by a different node and no services are currently being hosted. All
unhealthy nodes should be investigated and require an administrative
action to rectify.
BANNED - This node failed too many recovery attempts and has been
banned from participating in the cluster for a period of
RecoveryBanPeriod seconds. Any public IP address has been taken over by
other nodes. This node does not provide any services. All banned nodes
should be investigated and require an administrative action to rectify.
This node does not perticipate in the CTDB cluster but can still be
communicated with. I.e. ctdb commands can be sent to it.
STOPPED - A node that is stopped does not host any public ip addresses,
nor is it part of the VNNMAP. A stopped node can not become LVSMASTER,
RECMASTER or NATGW. This node does not perticipate in the CTDB cluster
but can still be communicated with. I.e. ctdb commands can be sent to
it.
PUBLIC TUNABLES
These are the public tuneables that can be used to control how ctdb
behaves.
KeepaliveInterval
Default: 1
How often should the nodes send keepalives to eachother.
KeepaliveLimit
Default: 5
After how many keepalive intervals without any traffic should a node
wait until marking the peer as DISCONNECTED.
MonitorInterval
Default: 15
How often should ctdb run the event scripts to check for a nodes
health.
TickleUpdateInterval
Default: 20
How often will ctdb record and store the "tickle" information used to
kickstart stalled tcp connections after a recovery.
EventScriptTimeout
Default: 20
How long should ctdb let an event script run before aborting it and
marking the node unhealthy.
RecoveryBanPeriod
Default: 300
If a node becomes banned causing repetitive recovery failures. The node
will eventually become banned from the cluster. This controls how long
the culprit node will be banned from the cluster before it is allowed
to try to join the cluster again. Dont set to small. A node gets banned
for a reason and it is usually due to real problems with the node.
DatabaseHashSize
Default: 100000
Size of the hash chains for the local store of the tdbs that ctdb
manages.
RerecoveryTimeout
Default: 10
Once a recovery has completed, no additional recoveries are permitted
until this timeout has expired.
EnableBans
Default: 1
When set to 0, this disables BANNING completely in the cluster and thus
nodes can not get banned, even it they break. Dont set to 0.
DeterministicIPs
Default: 1
When enabled, this tunable makes ctdb try to keep public IP addresses
locked to specific nodes as far as possible. This makes it easier for
debugging since you can know that as long as all nodes are healthy
public IP X will always be hosted by node Y.
The cost of using deterministic IP address assignment is that it
disables part of the logic where ctdb tries to reduce the number of
public IP assignment changes in the cluster. This tunable may increase
the number of IP failover/failbacks that are performed on the cluster
by a small margin.
DisableWhenUnhealthy
Default: 0
When set, As soon as a node becomes unhealthy, that node will also
automatically become permanently DISABLED. Once a node is DISABLED, the
only way to make it participate in the cluster again and host services
is by manually enabling the node again using ´ctdb enable´.
This disables parts of the resilience and robustness of the cluster and
should ONLY be used when the system administrator is actively
monitoring the cluster, so that nodes can be enabled again.
NoIPFailback
Default: 0
When set to 1, ctdb will not perform failback of IP addresses when a
node becomes healthy. Ctdb WILL perform failover of public IP addresses
when a node becomes UNHEALTHY, but when the node becomes HEALTHY again,
ctdb will not fail the addresses back.
Use with caution! Normally when a node becomes available to the cluster
ctdb will try to reassign public IP addresses onto the new node as a
way to distribute the workload evenly across the clusternode. Ctdb
tries to make sure that all running nodes have approximately the same
number of public addresses it hosts.
When you enable this tunable, CTDB will no longer attempt to rebalance
the cluster by failing IP addresses back to the new nodes. An
unbalanced cluster will therefore remain unbalanced until there is
manual intervention from the administrator. When this parameter is set,
you can manually fail public IP addresses over to the new node(s) using
the ´ctdb moveip´ command.
LVS
LVS is a mode where CTDB presents one single IP address for the entire
cluster. This is an alternative to using public IP addresses and
round-robin DNS to loadbalance clients across the cluster.
This is similar to using a layer-4 loadbalancing switch but with some
restrictions.
In this mode the cluster select a set of nodes in the cluster and
loadbalance all client access to the LVS address across this set of
nodes. This set of nodes are all LVS capable nodes that are HEALTHY, or
if no HEALTHY nodes exists all LVS capable nodes regardless of health
status. LVS will however never loadbalance traffic to nodes that are
BANNED, STOPPED, DISABLED or DISCONNECTED. The "ctdb lvs" command is
used to show which nodes are currently load-balanced across.
One of the these nodes are elected as the LVSMASTER. This node receives
all traffic from clients coming in to the LVS address and multiplexes
it across the internal network to one of the nodes that LVS is using.
When responding to the client, that node will send the data back
directly to the client, bypassing the LVSMASTER node. The command "ctdb
lvsmaster" will show which node is the current LVSMASTER.
The path used for a client i/o is thus :
(1) Client sends request packet to LVSMASTER
(2) LVSMASTER passes the request on to one node across the internal network.
(3) Selected node processes the request.
(4) Node responds back to client.
This means that all incoming traffic to the cluster will pass through
one physical node, which limits scalability. You can send more data to
the LVS address that one physical node can multiplex. This means that
you should not use LVS if your I/O pattern is write-intensive since you
will be limited in the available network bandwidth that node can
handle. LVS does work wery well for read-intensive workloads where only
smallish READ requests are going through the LVSMASTER bottleneck and
the majority of the traffic volume (the data in the read replies) goes
straight from the processing node back to the clients. For
read-intensive i/o patterns you can acheive very high throughput rates
in this mode.
Note: you can use LVS and public addresses at the same time.
Configuration
To activate LVS on a CTDB node you must specify CTDB_PUBLIC_INTERFACE
and CTDB_LVS_PUBLIC_ADDRESS in /etc/sysconfig/ctdb.
You must also specify the "--lvs" command line argument to ctdbd to
activete LVS as a capability of the node. This should be done
automatically for you by the /etc/init.d/ctdb script.
Example:
CTDB_PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth0
CTDB_LVS_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.237
If you use LVS, you must still have a real/permanent address configured
for the public interface on each node. This address must be routable
and the cluster nodes must be configured so that all traffic back to
client hosts are routed through this interface. This is also required
in order to allow samba/winbind on the node to talk to the domain
controller. (we can not use the lvs IP address to initiate outgoing
traffic)
I.e. make sure that you can "ping" both the domain controller and also
all of the clients from the node BEFORE you enable LVS. Also make sure
that when you ping these hosts that the traffic is routed out through
the eth0 interface.
REMOTE CLUSTER NODES
It is possible to have a CTDB cluster that spans across a WAN link. For
example where you have a CTDB cluster in your datacentre but you also
want to have one additional CTDB node located at a remote branch site.
This is similar to how a WAN accelerator works but with the difference
that while a WAN-accelerator often acts as a Proxy or a MitM, in the
ctdb remote cluster node configuration the Samba instance at the remote
site IS the genuine server, not a proxy and not a MitM, and thus
provides 100% correct CIFS semantics to clients.
See the cluster as one single multihomed samba server where one of the
NICs (the remote node) is very far away.
NOTE: This does require that the cluster filesystem you use can cope
with WAN-link latencies. Not all cluster filesystems can handle
WAN-link latencies! Whether this will provide very good WAN-accelerator
performance or it will perform very poorly depends entirely on how
optimized your cluster filesystem is in handling high latency for data
and metadata operations.
To activate a node as being a remote cluster node you need to set the
following two parameters in /etc/sysconfig/ctdb for the remote node:
CTDB_CAPABILITY_LMASTER=no
CTDB_CAPABILITY_RECMASTER=no
Verify with the command "ctdb getcapabilities" that that node no longer
has the recmaster or the lmaster capabilities.
NAT-GW
Sometimes it is desireable to run services on the CTDB node which will
need to originate outgoing traffic to external servers. This might be
contacting NIS servers, LDAP servers etc. etc.
This can sometimes be problematic since there are situations when a
node does not have any public ip addresses assigned. This could be due
to the nobe just being started up and no addresses have been assigned
yet or it could be that the node is UNHEALTHY in which case all public
addresses have been migrated off.
If then the service status of CTDB depends on such services being able
to always being able to originate traffic to external resources this
becomes extra troublesome. The node might be UNHEALTHY because the
service can not be reached, and the service can not be reached because
the node is UNHEALTHY.
There are two ways to solve this problem. The first is by assigning a
static ip address for one public interface on every node which will
allow every node to be able to route traffic to the public network even
if there are no public addresses assigned to the node. This is the
simplest way but it uses up a lot of ip addresses since you have to
assign both static and also public addresses to each node.
NAT-GW
A second way is to use the built in NAT-GW feature in CTDB. With NAT-GW
you assign one public NATGW address for each natgw group. Each NATGW
group is a set of nodes in the cluster that shares the same NATGW
address to talk to the outside world. Normally there would only be one
NATGW group spanning the entire cluster, but in situations where one
ctdb cluster spans multiple physical sites it is useful to have one
NATGW group for each of the two sites.
There can be multiple NATGW groups in one cluster but each node can
only be member of one NATGW group.
In each NATGW group, one of the nodes is designated the NAT Gateway
through which all traffic that is originated by nodes in this group
will be routed through if a public addresses are not available.
Configuration
NAT-GW is configured in /etc/sysconfigctdb by setting the following
variables:
# NAT-GW configuration
# Some services running on nthe CTDB node may need to originate traffic to
# remote servers before the node is assigned any IP addresses,
# This is problematic since before the node has public addresses the node might
# not be able to route traffic to the public networks.
# One solution is to have static public addresses assigned with routing
# in addition to the public address interfaces, thus guaranteeing that
# a node always can route traffic to the external network.
# This is the most simple solution but it uses up a large number of
# additional ip addresses.
#
# A more complex solution is NAT-GW.
# In this mode we only need one additional ip address for the cluster from
# the exsternal public network.
# One of the nodes in the cluster is elected to be hosting this ip address
# so it can reach the external services. This node is also configured
# to use NAT MASQUERADING for all traffic from the internal private network
# to the external network. This node is the NAT-GW node.
#
# All other nodes are set up with a default rote with a metric of 10 to point
# to the nat-gw node.
#
# The effect of this is that only when a node does not have a public address
# and thus no proper routes to the external world it will instead
# route all packets through the nat-gw node.
#
# CTDB_NATGW_NODES is the list of nodes that belong to this natgw group.
# You can have multiple natgw groups in one cluster but each node
# can only belong to one single natgw group.
#
# CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP=10.0.0.227/24
# CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IFACE=eth0
# CTDB_NATGW_DEFAULT_GATEWAY=10.0.0.1
# CTDB_NATGW_PRIVATE_NETWORK=10.1.1.0/24
# CTDB_NATGW_NODES=/etc/ctdb/natgw_nodes
CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP
This is an ip address in the public network that is used for all
outgoing traffic when the public addresses are not assigned. This
address will be assigned to one of the nodes in the cluster which will
masquerade all traffic for the other nodes.
Format of this parameter is IPADDRESS/NETMASK
CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IFACE
This is the physical interface where the CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP will be
assigned to. This should be an interface connected to the public
network.
Format of this parameter is INTERFACE
CTDB_NATGW_DEFAULT_GATEWAY
This is the default gateway to use on the node that is elected to host
the CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP. This is the default gateway on the public
network.
Format of this parameter is IPADDRESS
CTDB_NATGW_PRIVATE_NETWORK
This is the network/netmask used for the interal private network.
Format of this parameter is IPADDRESS/NETMASK
CTDB_NATGW_NODES
This is the list of all nodes that belong to the same NATGW group as
this node. The default is /etc/ctdb/natgw_nodes.
Operation
When the NAT-GW functionality is used, one of the nodes is elected to
act as a NAT router for all the other nodes in the group when they need
to originate traffic to the external public network.
The NAT-GW node is assigned the CTDB_NATGW_PUBLIC_IP to the designated
interface and the provided default route. The NAT-GW is configured to
act as a router and to masquerade all traffic it receives from the
internal private network and which is destined to the external
network(s).
All other nodes in the group are configured with a default route of
metric 10 pointing to the designated NAT GW node.
This is implemented in the 11.natgw eventscript. Please see the
eventscript for further information.
Removing/Changing NATGW at runtime
The following are the procedures to change/remove a NATGW configuration
at runtime, without having to restart ctdbd.
If you want to remove NATGW completely from a node, use these steps:
1, Run ´CTDB_BASE=/etc/ctdb /etc/ctdb/events.d/11.natgw removenatgw´
2, Then remove the configuration from /etc/sysconfig/ctdb
If you want to change the NATGW configuration on a node :
1, Run ´CTDB_BASE=/etc/ctdb /etc/ctdb/events.d/11.natgw removenatgw´
2, Then change the configuration in /etc/sysconfig/ctdb
3, Run ´CTDB_BASE=/etc/ctdb /etc/ctdb/events.d/11.natgw updatenatgw´
NOTIFICATION SCRIPT
Notification scripts are used with ctdb to have a call-out from ctdb to
a user-specified script when certain state changes occur in ctdb. This
is commonly to set up either sending SNMP traps or emails when a node
becomes unhealthy and similar.
This is activated by setting CTDB_NOTIFY_SCRIPT=<your script> in the
sysconfig file, or by adding --notification-script=<your script>.
See /etc/ctdb/notify.sh for an example script.
CTDB currently generates notifications on these state changes:
unhealthy
This call-out is triggered when the node changes to UNHEALTHY state.
healthy
This call-out is triggered when the node changes to HEALTHY state.
startup
This call-out is triggered when ctdb has started up and all managed
services are up and running.
CLAMAV DAEMON
CTDB has support to manage the popular anti-virus daemon ClamAV. This
support is implemented through the eventscript :
/etc/ctdb/events.d/31.clamd.
Configuration
Start by configuring CLAMAV normally and test that it works. Once this
is done, copy the configuration files over to all the nodes so that all
nodes share identical CLAMAV configurations. Once this is done you can
proceed with the intructions below to activate CTDB support for CLAMAV.
First, to activate CLAMAV support in CTDB, edit /etc/sysconfig/ctdb and
add the two lines :
CTDB_MANAGES_CLAMD=yes
CTDB_CLAMD_SOCKET="/path/to/clamd.socket"
Second, activate the eventscript
ctdb enablescript 31.clamd
Third, CTDB will now be starting and stopping this service accordingly,
so make sure that the system is not configured to start/stop this
service automatically. On RedHat systems you can disable the system
starting/stopping CLAMAV automatically by running :
chkconfig clamd off
Once you have restarted CTDBD, use
ctdb scriptstatus
and verify that the 31.clamd eventscript is listed and that it was
executed successfully.
