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-LIST</parameter></term>
129 The nodes specified by PNN-LIST 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. Not all commands support this option.
145 <varlistentry><term>-t <parameter>TIMEOUT</parameter></term>
148 Indicates that ctdb should wait up to TIMEOUT seconds for
149 a response to most commands sent to the CTDB daemon. The
150 default is 10 seconds.
155 <varlistentry><term>-T <parameter>TIMELIMIT</parameter></term>
158 Indicates that TIMELIMIT is the maximum run time (in
159 seconds) for the ctdb command. When TIMELIMIT is exceeded
160 the ctdb command will terminate with an error. The default
166 <varlistentry><term>-? --help</term>
169 Print some help text to the screen.
174 <varlistentry><term>--usage</term>
177 Print useage information to the screen.
182 <varlistentry><term>-d --debug=<parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></term>
185 Change the debug level for the command. Default is ERR (0).
190 <varlistentry><term>--socket=<parameter>FILENAME</parameter></term>
193 Specify that FILENAME is the name of the Unix domain
194 socket to use when connecting to the local CTDB
195 daemon. The default is
196 <filename>/tmp/ctdb.socket</filename>.
205 <title>ADMINISTRATIVE COMMANDS</title>
207 These are commands used to monitor and administer a CTDB cluster.
213 This command displays the PNN of the current node.
220 This command displays the PNN of the current node without
221 contacting the CTDB daemon. It parses the nodes file
222 directly, so can produce unexpected output if the nodes file
223 has been edited but has not been reloaded.
228 <title>status</title>
230 This command shows the current status of all CTDB nodes based
231 on information from the queried node.
235 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
236 might not be current.
240 <title>Node status</title>
242 This includes the number of physical nodes and the status of
243 each node. See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
244 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for information
250 <title>Generation</title>
252 The generation id is a number that indicates the current generation
253 of a cluster instance. Each time a cluster goes through a
254 reconfiguration or a recovery its generation id will be changed.
257 This number does not have any particular meaning other than
258 to keep track of when a cluster has gone through a
259 recovery. It is a random number that represents the current
260 instance of a ctdb cluster and its databases. The CTDB
261 daemon uses this number internally to be able to tell when
262 commands to operate on the cluster and the databases was
263 issued in a different generation of the cluster, to ensure
264 that commands that operate on the databases will not survive
265 across a cluster database recovery. After a recovery, all
266 old outstanding commands will automatically become invalid.
269 Sometimes this number will be shown as "INVALID". This only means that
270 the ctdbd daemon has started but it has not yet merged with the cluster through a recovery.
271 All nodes start with generation "INVALID" and are not assigned a real
272 generation id until they have successfully been merged with a cluster
278 <title>Virtual Node Number (VNN) map</title>
280 Consists of the number of virtual nodes and mapping from
281 virtual node numbers to physical node numbers. Virtual
282 nodes host CTDB databases. Only nodes that are
283 participating in the VNN map can become lmaster or dmaster
284 for database records.
289 <title>Recovery mode</title>
291 This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:
294 NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.
297 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.
300 Once the recovery master detects an inconsistency, for example a node
301 becomes disconnected/connected, the recovery daemon will trigger a
302 cluster recovery process, where all databases are remerged across the
303 cluster. When this process starts, the recovery master will first
304 "freeze" all databases to prevent applications such as samba from
305 accessing the databases and it will also mark the recovery mode as
309 When the CTDB daemon starts up, it will start in RECOVERY
310 mode. Once the node has been merged into a cluster and all
311 databases have been recovered, the node mode will change into
312 NORMAL mode and the databases will be "thawed", allowing samba
313 to access the databases again.
317 <title>Recovery master</title>
319 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.
322 Only one node at a time can be the designated recovery master. Which
323 node is designated the recovery master is decided by an election
324 process in the recovery daemons running on each node.
329 <title>Example</title>
333 pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
334 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
335 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
336 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
337 Generation:1362079228
343 Recovery mode:NORMAL (0)
350 <title>nodestatus <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional></title>
352 This command is similar to the <command>status</command>
353 command. It displays the "node status" subset of output. The
354 main differences are:
360 The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each
361 specified node, while <command>ctdb status</command> exits
362 with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.
368 <command>ctdb status</command> provides status information
369 for all nodes. <command>ctdb nodestatus</command>
370 defaults to providing status for only the current node.
371 If PNN-LIST is provided then status is given for
372 the indicated node(s).
376 By default, <command>ctdb nodestatus</command> gathers
377 status from the local node. However, if invoked with "-n
378 all" (or similar) then status is gathered from the given
379 node(s). In particular <command>ctdb nodestatus
380 all</command> and <command>ctdb nodestatus -n
381 all</command> will produce different output. It is
382 possible to provide 2 different nodespecs (with and
383 without "-n") but the output is usually confusing!
389 A common invocation in scripts is <command>ctdb nodestatus
390 all</command> to check whether all nodes in a cluster are
395 <title>Example</title>
398 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
400 # ctdb nodestatus all
402 pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
409 <title>recmaster</title>
411 This command shows the pnn of the node which is currently the recmaster.
415 Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
416 might not be current.
421 <title>uptime</title>
423 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.
427 <title>Example</title>
430 Current time of node : Thu Oct 29 10:38:54 2009
431 Ctdbd start time : (000 16:54:28) Wed Oct 28 17:44:26 2009
432 Time of last recovery/failover: (000 16:53:31) Wed Oct 28 17:45:23 2009
433 Duration of last recovery/failover: 2.248552 seconds
439 <title>listnodes</title>
441 This command shows lists the ip addresses of all the nodes in the cluster.
445 <title>Example</title>
457 <title>natgwlist</title>
459 Show the current NAT gateway master and the status of all
460 nodes in the current NAT gateway group. See the
461 <citetitle>NAT GATEWAY</citetitle> section in
462 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
463 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more details.
467 <title>Example</title>
472 pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
473 pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
474 pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
475 pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
483 This command will "ping" specified CTDB nodes in the cluster
484 to verify that they are running.
487 <title>Example</title>
490 response from 0 time=0.000054 sec (3 clients)
491 response from 1 time=0.000144 sec (2 clients)
492 response from 2 time=0.000105 sec (2 clients)
493 response from 3 time=0.000114 sec (2 clients)
499 <title>ifaces</title>
501 This command will display the list of network interfaces, which could
502 host public addresses, along with their status.
505 <title>Example</title>
509 name:eth5 link:up references:2
510 name:eth4 link:down references:0
511 name:eth3 link:up references:1
512 name:eth2 link:up references:1
515 :Name:LinkStatus:References:
527 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 -n all".

600 <title>disablescript <parameter>SCRIPT</parameter></title>
602 This command is used to disable an eventscript.
605 This will take effect the next time the eventscripts are being executed so it can take a short while until this is reflected in 'scriptstatus'.
610 <title>enablescript <parameter>SCRIPT</parameter></title>
612 This command is used to enable an eventscript.
615 This will take effect the next time the eventscripts are being executed so it can take a short while until this is reflected in 'scriptstatus'.
620 <title>listvars</title>
622 List all tuneable variables, except the values of the obsolete tunables
623 like VacuumMinInterval. The obsolete tunables can be retrieved only
624 explicitly with the "ctdb getvar" command.

703 <title>lvsmaster</title>
705 This command shows which node is currently the LVSMASTER. The
706 LVSMASTER is the node in the cluster which drives the LVS system and
707 which receives all incoming traffic from clients.
710 LVS is the mode where the entire CTDB/Samba cluster uses a single
711 ip address for the entire cluster. In this mode all clients connect to
712 one specific node which will then multiplex/loadbalance the clients
713 evenly onto the other nodes in the cluster. This is an alternative to using
714 public ip addresses. See the manpage for ctdbd for more information
722 This command shows which nodes in the cluster are currently active in the
723 LVS configuration. I.e. which nodes we are currently loadbalancing
724 the single ip address across.
728 LVS will by default only loadbalance across those nodes that are both
729 LVS capable and also HEALTHY. Except if all nodes are UNHEALTHY in which
730 case LVS will loadbalance across all UNHEALTHY nodes as well.
731 LVS will never use nodes that are DISCONNECTED, STOPPED, BANNED or
747 <title>getcapabilities</title>
750 This command shows the capabilities of the current node. See

860 <title>getreclock</title>
862 This command is used to show the filename of the reclock file that is used.
869 Reclock file:/gpfs/.ctdb/shared
875 <title>setreclock [filename]</title>
877 This command is used to modify, or clear, the file that is used as the reclock file at runtime. When this command is used, the reclock file checks are disabled. To re-enable the checks the administrator needs to activate the "VerifyRecoveryLock" tunable using "ctdb setvar".
881 If run with no parameter this will remove the reclock file completely. If run with a parameter the parameter specifies the new filename to use for the recovery lock.
885 This command only affects the runtime settings of a ctdb node and will be lost when ctdb is restarted. For persistent changes to the reclock file setting you must edit /etc/sysconfig/ctdb.
892 <title>getdebug</title>
894 Get the current debug level for the node. the debug level controls what information is written to the log file.
897 The debug levels are mapped to the corresponding syslog levels.
898 When a debug level is set, only those messages at that level and higher
899 levels will be printed.
902 The list of debug levels from highest to lowest are :
905 EMERG ALERT CRIT ERR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
910 <title>setdebug <parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></title>
912 Set the debug level of a node. This controls what information will be logged.
915 The debuglevel is one of EMERG ALERT CRIT ERR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG
920 <title>getpid</title>
922 This command will return the process id of the ctdb daemon.
927 <title>disable</title>
929 This command is used to administratively disable a node in the cluster.
930 A disabled node will still participate in the cluster and host
931 clustered TDB records but its public ip address has been taken over by
932 a different node and it no longer hosts any services.
937 <title>enable</title>
939 Re-enable a node that has been administratively disabled.
946 This command is used to administratively STOP a node in the cluster.
947 A STOPPED node is connected to the cluster but will not host any
948 public ip addresse, nor does it participate in the VNNMAP.
949 The difference between a DISABLED node and a STOPPED node is that
950 a STOPPED node does not host any parts of the database which means
951 that a recovery is required to stop/continue nodes.
956 <title>continue</title>
958 Re-start a node that has been administratively stopped.
963 <title>addip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter>/<parameter>mask</parameter> <parameter>IFACE</parameter></title>
965 This command is used to add a new public ip to a node during runtime.
966 This allows public addresses to be added to a cluster without having
967 to restart the ctdb daemons.
970 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of ctdb. Any changes will be lost next time ctdb is restarted and the public addresses file is re-read.
971 If you want this change to be permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
976 <title>delip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
978 This command is used to remove a public ip from a node during runtime.
979 If this public ip is currently hosted by the node it being removed from, the ip will first be failed over to another node, if possible, before it is removed.
982 Note that this only updates the runtime instance of ctdb. Any changes will be lost next time ctdb is restarted and the public addresses file is re-read.
983 If you want this change to be permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.
988 <title>moveip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>PNN</parameter></title>
990 This command can be used to manually fail a public ip address to a
994 In order to manually override the "automatic" distribution of public
995 ip addresses that ctdb normally provides, this command only works
996 when you have changed the tunables for the daemon to:
1007 <title>shutdown</title>
1009 This command will shutdown a specific CTDB daemon.
1014 <title>setlmasterrole on|off</title>
1016 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.
1020 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.
1023 Once this setting has been enabled/disabled, you need to perform a recovery for it to take effect.
1026 See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
1031 <title>setrecmasterrole on|off</title>
1033 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.
1037 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.

1045 <title>reloadnodes</title>
1047 This command is used when adding new nodes, or removing existing nodes from an existing cluster.
1050 Procedure to add a node:
1053 1, To expand an existing cluster, first ensure with 'ctdb status' that
1054 all nodes are up and running and that they are all healthy.
1055 Do not try to expand a cluster unless it is completely healthy!
1058 2, On all nodes, edit /etc/ctdb/nodes and add the new node as the last
1059 entry to the file. The new node MUST be added to the end of this file!
1062 3, Verify that all the nodes have identical /etc/ctdb/nodes files after you edited them and added the new node!
1065 4, Run 'ctdb reloadnodes' to force all nodes to reload the nodesfile.
1068 5, Use 'ctdb status' on all nodes and verify that they now show the additional node.
1071 6, Install and configure the new node and bring it online.
1074 Procedure to remove a node:
1077 1, To remove a node from an existing cluster, first ensure with 'ctdb status' that
1078 all nodes, except the node to be deleted, are up and running and that they are all healthy.
1079 Do not try to remove a node from a cluster unless the cluster is completely healthy!
1082 2, Shutdown and poweroff the node to be removed.
1085 3, On all other nodes, edit the /etc/ctdb/nodes file and comment out the node to be removed. Do not delete the line for that node, just comment it out by adding a '#' at the beginning of the line.
1088 4, Run 'ctdb reloadnodes' to force all nodes to reload the nodesfile.
1091 5, Use 'ctdb status' on all nodes and verify that the deleted node no longer shows up in the list..
1101 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1104 This command reloads the public addresses configuration file
1105 on the specified nodes. When it completes addresses will be
1106 reconfigured and reassigned across the cluster as necessary.
1111 <title>getdbmap</title>
1113 This command lists all clustered TDB databases that the CTDB daemon has attached to. Some databases are flagged as PERSISTENT, this means that the database stores data persistently and the data will remain across reboots. One example of such a database is secrets.tdb where information about how the cluster was joined to the domain is stored.
1116 If a PERSISTENT database is not in a healthy state the database is
1117 flagged as UNHEALTHY. If there's at least one completely healthy node running in
1118 the cluster, it's possible that the content is restored by a recovery
1119 run automaticly. Otherwise an administrator needs to analyze the
1123 See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb",
1124 "ctdb dumpbackup", "ctdb wipedb", "ctdb setvar AllowUnhealthyDBRead 1"
1125 and (if samba or tdb-utils are installed) "tdbtool check".
1128 Most databases are not persistent and only store the state information that the currently running samba daemons need. These databases are always wiped when ctdb/samba starts and when a node is rebooted.

1161 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1162 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1165 Copy the contents of database DB to FILE. FILE can later be
1166 read back using <command>restoredb</command>. This is mainly
1167 useful for backing up persistent databases such as
1168 <filename>secrets.tdb</filename> and similar.
1175 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1176 <optional><parameter>DB</parameter></optional>
1179 This command restores a persistent database that was
1180 previously backed up using backupdb. By default the data will
1181 be restored back into the same database as it was created
1182 from. By specifying dbname you can restore the data into a
1188 <title>getlog [<parameter>LEVEL</parameter>] [recoverd]</title>
1190 In addition to the normal logging to a log file, CTDB also
1191 keeps a in-memory ringbuffer containing the most recent log
1192 entries for all log levels (except DEBUG).
1195 This is useful since it allows for keeping continuous logs to a file
1196 at a reasonable non-verbose level, but shortly after an incident has
1197 occured, a much more detailed log can be pulled from memory. This
1198 can allow you to avoid having to reproduce an issue due to the
1199 on-disk logs being of insufficient detail.
1202 This command extracts all messages of level or lower log level
1203 from memory and prints it to the screen. The level is not
1204 specified it defaults to NOTICE.
1207 By default, logs are extracted from the main CTDB daemon. If
1208 the recoverd option is given then logs are extracted from the
1214 <title>clearlog [recoverd]</title>
1216 This command clears the in-memory logging ringbuffer.
1219 By default, logs are cleared in the main CTDB daemon. If the
1220 recoverd option is given then logs are cleared in the recovery
1226 <title>setdbreadonly <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1228 This command will enable the read-only record support for a
1229 database. This is an experimental feature to improve
1230 performance for contended records primarily in locking.tdb and
1231 brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you must set it on all
1232 nodes in the cluster.
1237 <title>setdbsticky <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1239 This command will enable the sticky record support for the
1240 specified database. This is an experimental feature to
1241 improve performance for contended records primarily in
1242 locking.tdb and brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you
1243 must set it on all nodes in the cluster.
1250 <title>INTERNAL COMMANDS</title>
1253 Internal commands are used by CTDB's scripts and are not
1254 required for managing a CTDB cluster. Their parameters and
1255 behaviour are subject to change.
1259 <title>gettickles <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
1261 Show TCP connections that are registered with CTDB to be
1262 "tickled" if there is a failover.
1267 <title>gratiousarp <parameter>IPADDR</parameter> <parameter>INTERFACE</parameter></title>
1269 Send out a gratious ARP for the specified interface through
1270 the specified interface. This command is mainly used by the
1276 <title>killtcp</title>
1278 Read a list of TCP connections, one per line, from standard
1279 input and terminate each connection. A connection is
1283 <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter>
1286 Each connection is terminated by issuing a TCP RST to the
1287 SRC-IPADDR:SRC-PORT endpoint.
1290 A single connection can be specified on the command-line
1291 rather than on standard input.
1297 pdelete <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1306 pfetch <parameter>DB</parameter> <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1309 Print the value associated with KEY in DB.
1316 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1317 <parameter>KEY</parameter>
1318 <parameter>FILE</parameter>
1321 Store KEY in DB with contents of FILE as the associated value.
1328 <parameter>DB</parameter>
1329 <optional><parameter>FILE</parameter></optional>
1332 Read a list of key-value pairs, one per line from FILE, and
1333 store them in DB using a single transaction. An empty value
1334 is equivalent to deleting the given key.
1337 The key and value should be separated by spaces or tabs. Each
1338 key/value should be a printable string enclosed in
1344 <title>runstate [setup|first_recovery|startup|running]</title>
1346 Print the runstate of the specified node. Runstates are used
1347 to serialise important state transitions in CTDB, particularly
1351 If one or more optional runstate arguments are specified then
1352 the node must be in one of these runstates for the command to
1356 <title>Example</title>
1365 <title>setifacelink <parameter>IFACE</parameter> up|down</title>
1367 Set the internal state of network interface IFACE. This is
1368 typically used in the <filename>10.interface</filename> script
1369 in the "monitor" event.
1372 Example: ctdb setifacelink eth0 up
1377 <title>setnatgwstate on|off</title>
1379 Enable or disable the NAT gateway master capability on a node.
1384 <title>tickle <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter></title>
1386 Send a TCP tickle to the source host for the specified TCP
1387 connection. A TCP tickle is a TCP ACK packet with an invalid
1388 sequence and acknowledge number and will when received by the
1389 source host result in it sending an immediate correct ACK back
1393 TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has
1394 occured since this will make the client immediately recognize the
1395 TCP connection has been disrupted and that the client will need
1396 to reestablish. This greatly speeds up the time it takes for a client
1397 to detect and reestablish after an IP failover in the ctdb cluster.

1411 <title>DEBUGGING COMMANDS</title>
1413 These commands are primarily used for CTDB development and testing and
1414 should not be used for normal administration.
1419 <title>OPTIONS</title>
1422 <varlistentry><term>--print-emptyrecords</term>
1425 This enables printing of empty records when dumping databases
1426 with the catdb, cattbd and dumpdbbackup commands. Records with
1427 empty data segment are considered deleted by ctdb and cleaned
1428 by the vacuuming mechanism, so this switch can come in handy for
1429 debugging the vacuuming behaviour.
1434 <varlistentry><term>--print-datasize</term>
1437 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1438 size of the record data instead of dumping the data contents.
1443 <varlistentry><term>--print-lmaster</term>
1446 This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.
1451 <varlistentry><term>--print-hash</term>
1454 This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
1455 hash for each record.
1460 <varlistentry><term>--print-recordflags</term>
1463 This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the
1464 record flags for each record. Note that cattdb always
1474 <title>process-exists <parameter>PID</parameter></title>
1476 This command checks if a specific process exists on the CTDB host. This is mainly used by Samba to check if remote instances of samba are still running or not.
1481 <title>getdbstatus <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1483 This command displays more details about a database.
1486 <title>Example</title>
1488 # ctdb getdbstatus test.tdb.0
1491 path: /var/ctdb/test.tdb.0
1495 # ctdb getdbstatus registry.tdb # with a corrupted TDB
1498 path: /var/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0
1500 HEALTH: NO-HEALTHY-NODES - ERROR - Backup of corrupted TDB in '/var/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0.corrupted.20091208091949.0Z'
1506 <title>catdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1508 Print a dump of the clustered TDB database DB.
1513 <title>cattdb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1515 Print a dump of the contents of the local TDB database DB.
1520 <title>dumpdbbackup <parameter>FILE</parameter></title>
1522 Print a dump of the contents from database backup FILE,
1523 similar to <command>catdb</command>.
1528 <title>wipedb <parameter>DB</parameter></title>
1530 Remove all contents of database DB.
1535 <title>recover</title>
1537 This command will trigger the recovery daemon to do a cluster
1543 <title>ipreallocate, sync</title>
1545 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.
1550 <title>getmonmode</title>
1552 This command returns the monutoring mode of a node. The monitoring mode is either ACTIVE or DISABLED. Normally a node will continuously monitor that all other nodes that are expected are in fact connected and that they respond to commands.
1555 ACTIVE - This is the normal mode. The node is actively monitoring all other nodes, both that the transport is connected and also that the node responds to commands. If a node becomes unavailable, it will be marked as DISCONNECTED and a recovery is initiated to restore the cluster.
1558 DISABLED - This node is not monitoring that other nodes are available. In this mode a node failure will not be detected and no recovery will be performed. This mode is useful when for debugging purposes one wants to attach GDB to a ctdb process but wants to prevent the rest of the cluster from marking this node as DISCONNECTED and do a recovery.
1564 <title>setmonmode 0|1</title>
1566 This command can be used to explicitly disable/enable monitoring mode on a node. The main purpose is if one wants to attach GDB to a running ctdb daemon but wants to prevent the other nodes from marking it as DISCONNECTED and issuing a recovery. To do this, set monitoring mode to 0 on all nodes before attaching with GDB. Remember to set monitoring mode back to 1 afterwards.
1571 <title>attach <parameter>DBNAME</parameter> [persistent]</title>
1573 Create a new CTDB database called DBNAME and attach to it on
1579 <title>detach <parameter>DB-LIST</parameter></title>
1581 Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This
1582 command will disconnect specified database(s) on all nodes in
1583 the cluster. This command should only be used when none of the
1584 specified database(s) are in use.
1587 All nodes should be active and tunable AllowClientDBAccess should
1588 be disabled on all nodes before detaching databases.
1593 <title>dumpmemory</title>
1595 This is a debugging command. This command will make the ctdb
1596 daemon to write a fill memory allocation map to standard output.
1601 <title>rddumpmemory</title>
1603 This is a debugging command. This command will dump the talloc memory
1604 allocation tree for the recovery daemon to standard output.
1611 Thaw a previously frozen node.
1617 <title>eventscript <parameter>ARGUMENTS</parameter></title>
1619 This is a debugging command. This command can be used to manually
1620 invoke and run the eventscritps with arbitrary arguments.
1625 <title>ban <parameter>BANTIME</parameter></title>
1627 Administratively ban a node for BANTIME seconds. The node
1628 will be unbanned after BANTIME seconds have elapsed.
1631 A banned node does not participate in the cluster. It does
1632 not host any records for the clustered TDB and does not host
1633 any public IP addresses.
1636 Nodes are automatically banned if they misbehave. For
1637 example, a node may be banned if it causes too many cluster
1641 To administratively exclude a node from a cluster use the
1642 <command>stop</command> command.
1647 <title>unban</title>
1649 This command is used to unban a node that has either been
1650 administratively banned using the ban command or has been
1651 automatically banned.
1658 <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional>
1661 This command marks the given nodes as rebalance targets in the
1662 LCP2 IP allocation algorithm. The
1663 <command>reloadips</command> command will do this as necessary
1664 so this command should not be needed.
1669 <title>check_srvids <parameter>SRVID</parameter> ...</title>
1671 This command checks whether a set of srvid message ports are
1672 registered on the node or not. The command takes a list of
1676 <title>Example</title>
1678 # ctdb check_srvids 1 2 3 14765
1679 Server id 0:1 does not exist
1680 Server id 0:2 does not exist
