NAME

       ndb_waiter - wait for MySQL Cluster to reach a given status

SYNOPSIS

       ndb_waiter options

DESCRIPTION

       ndb_waiter repeatedly (each 100 milliseconds) prints out the status of
       all cluster data nodes until either the cluster reaches a given status
       or the --timeout limit is exceeded, then exits. By default, it waits
       for the cluster to achieve STARTED status, in which all nodes have
       started and connected to the cluster. This can be overridden using the
       --no-contact and --not-started options (see Additional Options).

       The node states reported by this utility are as follows:

       ·   NO_CONTACT: The node cannot be contacted.

       ·   UNKNOWN: The node can be contacted, but its status is not yet
           known. Usually, this means that the node has received a START or
           RESTART command from the management server, but has not yet acted
           on it.

       ·   NOT_STARTED: The node has stopped, but remains in contact with the
           cluster. This is seen when restarting the node using the management
           client´s RESTART command.

       ·   STARTING: The node´s ndbd process has started, but the node has not
           yet joined the cluster.

       ·   STARTED: The node is operational, and has joined the cluster.

       ·   SHUTTING_DOWN: The node is shutting down.

       ·   SINGLE USER MODE: This is shown for all cluster data nodes when the
           cluster is in single user mode.

       Usage:

           ndb_waiter [-c connect_string]

       Additional Options:

       ·   --no-contact, -n

           Instead of waiting for the STARTED state, ndb_waiter continues
           running until the cluster reaches NO_CONTACT status before exiting.

       ·   --not-started

           Instead of waiting for the STARTED state, ndb_waiter continues
           running until the cluster reaches NOT_STARTED status before
           exiting.

       ·   --timeout=seconds, -t seconds

           Time to wait. The program exits if the desired state is not
           achieved within this number of seconds. The default is 120 seconds
           (1200 reporting cycles).

       Sample Output. Shown here is the output from ndb_waiter when run
       against a 4-node cluster in which two nodes have been shut down and
       then started again manually. Duplicate reports (indicated by “...”) are
       omitted.

           Note
           If no connectstring is specified, then ndb_waiter tries to connect
           to a management on localhost, and reports Connecting to mgmsrv at
           (null).
