NAME
ndb_mgm - the MySQL Cluster management client
SYNOPSIS
ndb_mgm options
DESCRIPTION
The ndb_mgm management client process is actually not needed to run the
cluster. Its value lies in providing a set of commands for checking the
cluster´s status, starting backups, and performing other administrative
functions. The management client accesses the management server using a
C API. Advanced users can also employ this API for programming
dedicated management processes to perform tasks similar to those
performed by ndb_mgm.
To start the management client, it is necessary to supply the host name
and port number of the management server:
shell> ndb_mgm [host_name [port_num]]
For example:
shell> ndb_mgm ndb_mgmd.mysql.com 1186
The default host name and port number are localhost and 1186,
respectively.
The following table includes options that are specific to the MySQL
Cluster management client program ndb_mgm. Additional descriptions
follow the table. For options common to all MySQL Cluster programs, see
Section 17.4.2, “Options Common to MySQL Cluster Programs”.
· --try-reconnect=number
+--------------------+-------------------+
|Command Line Format | --try-reconnect=# |
+--------------------+-------------------+
| | Permitted Values |
| +---------+---------+
| | Type | boolean |
| +---------+---------+
| | Default | TRUE |
+--------------------+---------+---------+
If the connection to the management server is broken, the node
tries to reconnect to it every 5 seconds until it succeeds. By
using this option, it is possible to limit the number of attempts
to number before giving up and reporting an error instead.
Additional information about using ndb_mgm can be found in
Section 17.5.2, “Commands in the MySQL Cluster Management Client”.
