Provided by: ctdb_4.18.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1_amd64

NAME

       ctdb - CTDB management utility

SYNOPSIS

       ctdb [OPTION...] {COMMAND} [COMMAND-ARGS]

DESCRIPTION

       ctdb is a utility to view and manage a CTDB cluster.

       The following terms are used when referring to nodes in a cluster:

       PNN
           Physical Node Number. The physical node number is an integer that describes the node
           in the cluster. The first node has physical node number 0. in a cluster.

       PNN-LIST
           This is either a single PNN, a comma-separate list of PNNs or "all".

       Commands that reference a database use the following terms:

       DB
           This is either a database name, such as locking.tdb or a database ID such as
           "0x42fe72c5".

       DB-LIST
           A space separated list of at least one DB.

OPTIONS

       -n PNN
           The node specified by PNN should be queried for the requested information. Default is
           to query the daemon running on the local host.

       -Y
           Produce output in machine readable form for easier parsing by scripts. This uses a
           field delimiter of ':'. Not all commands support this option.

       -x SEPARATOR
           Use SEPARATOR to delimit fields in machine readable output. This implies -Y.

       -X
           Produce output in machine readable form for easier parsing by scripts. This uses a
           field delimiter of '|'. Not all commands support this option.

           This is equivalent to "-x|" and avoids some shell quoting issues.

       -t TIMEOUT
           Indicates that ctdb should wait up to TIMEOUT seconds for a response to most commands
           sent to the CTDB daemon. The default is 10 seconds.

       -T TIMELIMIT
           Indicates that TIMELIMIT is the maximum run time (in seconds) for the ctdb command.
           When TIMELIMIT is exceeded the ctdb command will terminate with an error. The default
           is 120 seconds.

       -? --help
           Print some help text to the screen.

       --usage
           Print usage information to the screen.

       -d --debug=DEBUGLEVEL
           Change the debug level for the command. Default is NOTICE.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMANDS

These are commands used to monitor and administer a CTDB cluster.

pnn
This command displays the PNN of the current node.

status
This command shows the current status of all CTDB nodes based on information from the
queried node.

Note: If the queried node is INACTIVE then the status might not be current.

Node status
This includes the number of physical nodes and the status of each node. See ctdb(7)
for information about node states.

Generation
The generation id is a number that indicates the current generation of a cluster
instance. Each time a cluster goes through a reconfiguration or a recovery its
generation id will be changed.

This number does not have any particular meaning other than to keep track of when a
cluster has gone through a recovery. It is a random number that represents the current
instance of a ctdb cluster and its databases. The CTDB daemon uses this number
internally to be able to tell when commands to operate on the cluster and the
databases was issued in a different generation of the cluster, to ensure that commands
that operate on the databases will not survive across a cluster database recovery.
After a recovery, all old outstanding commands will automatically become invalid.

Sometimes this number will be shown as "INVALID". This only means that the ctdbd
daemon has started but it has not yet merged with the cluster through a recovery. All
nodes start with generation "INVALID" and are not assigned a real generation id until
they have successfully been merged with a cluster through a recovery.

Virtual Node Number (VNN) map
Consists of the number of virtual nodes and mapping from virtual node numbers to
physical node numbers. Only nodes that are participating in the VNN map can become
lmaster for database records.

Recovery mode
This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:

NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.

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.

Once the leader detects an inconsistency, for example a node becomes
disconnected/connected, the recovery daemon will trigger a cluster recovery process,
where all databases are remerged across the cluster. When this process starts, the
leader will first "freeze" all databases to prevent applications such as samba from
accessing the databases and it will also mark the recovery mode as RECOVERY.

When the CTDB daemon starts up, it will start in RECOVERY mode. Once the node has been
merged into a cluster and all databases have been recovered, the node mode will change
into NORMAL mode and the databases will be "thawed", allowing samba to access the
databases again.

Leader
This is the cluster node that is currently designated as the leader. This node is
responsible of monitoring the consistency of the cluster and to perform the actual
recovery process when reqired.

Only one node at a time can be the designated leader. Which node is designated the
leader is decided by an election process in the recovery daemons running on each node.

Example
# ctdb status
Number of nodes:4
pnn:0 192.168.2.200 OK (THIS NODE)
pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK
Generation:1362079228
Size:4
hash:0 lmaster:0
hash:1 lmaster:1
hash:2 lmaster:2
hash:3 lmaster:3
Recovery mode:NORMAL (0)
Leader:0

nodestatus [PNN-LIST]
This command is similar to the status command. It displays the "node status" subset of
output. The main differences are:

• The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each specified node, while ctdb
status exits with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.

• ctdb status provides status information for all nodes. ctdb nodestatus defaults to
providing status for only the current node. If PNN-LIST is provided then status is
given for the indicated node(s).

A common invocation in scripts is ctdb nodestatus all to check whether all nodes in a
cluster are healthy.

Example
# ctdb nodestatus
pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)

# ctdb nodestatus all
Number of nodes:2
pnn:0 10.0.0.30 OK (THIS NODE)
pnn:1 10.0.0.31 OK

leader
This command shows the pnn of the node which is currently the leader.

Note: If the queried node is INACTIVE then the status might not be current.

uptime
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.

Example
# ctdb uptime
Current time of node : Thu Oct 29 10:38:54 2009
Ctdbd start time : (000 16:54:28) Wed Oct 28 17:44:26 2009
Time of last recovery/failover: (000 16:53:31) Wed Oct 28 17:45:23 2009
Duration of last recovery/failover: 2.248552 seconds

listnodes
This command shows lists the ip addresses of all the nodes in the cluster.

Example
# ctdb listnodes
192.168.2.200
192.168.2.201
192.168.2.202
192.168.2.203

natgw {leader|list|status}
This command shows different aspects of NAT gateway status. For an overview of CTDB's NAT
gateway functionality please see the NAT GATEWAY section in ctdb(7).

leader
Show the PNN and private IP address of the current NAT gateway leader node.

Example output:

1 192.168.2.201

list
List the private IP addresses of nodes in the current NAT gateway group, annotating
the leader node.

Example output:

192.168.2.200
192.168.2.201 LEADER
192.168.2.202
192.168.2.203

status
List the nodes in the current NAT gateway group and their status.

Example output:

pnn:0 192.168.2.200 UNHEALTHY (THIS NODE)
pnn:1 192.168.2.201 OK
pnn:2 192.168.2.202 OK
pnn:3 192.168.2.203 OK

ping
This command will "ping" specified CTDB nodes in the cluster to verify that they are
running.

Example
# ctdb ping
response from 0 time=0.000054 sec (3 clients)

ifaces
This command will display the list of network interfaces, which could host public
addresses, along with their status.

Example
# ctdb ifaces
Interfaces on node 0
name:eth5 link:up references:2
name:eth4 link:down references:0
name:eth3 link:up references:1
name:eth2 link:up references:1

# ctdb -X ifaces
|Name|LinkStatus|References|
|eth5|1|2|
|eth4|0|0|
|eth3|1|1|
|eth2|1|1|

ip
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 all".

Example
# ctdb ip -v
Public IPs on node 0
172.31.91.82 node[1] active[] available[eth2,eth3] configured[eth2,eth3]
172.31.91.83 node[0] active[eth3] available[eth2,eth3] configured[eth2,eth3]

event run|status|script list|script enable|script disable
This command is used to control event daemon and to inspect status of various events.

The commands below require a component to be specified. In the current version the only
valid component is legacy.

run TIMEOUT COMPONENT EVENT [ARGUMENTS]
This command can be used to manually run specified EVENT in COMPONENT with optional
ARGUMENTS. The event will be allowed to run a maximum of TIMEOUT seconds. If TIMEOUT
is 0, then there is no time limit for running the event.

status COMPONENT EVENT
This command displays the last execution status of the specified EVENT in COMPONENT.

The command will terminate with the exit status corresponding to the overall status of
event that is displayed.

The output is the list of event scripts executed. Each line shows the name, status,
duration and start time for each script.

script list COMPONENT
List the available event scripts in COMPONENT. Enabled scripts are flagged with a '*'.

Generally, event scripts are provided by CTDB. However, local or 3rd party event
scripts may also be available. These are shown in a separate section after those
provided by CTDB.

script enable COMPONENT SCRIPT
Enable the specified event SCRIPT in COMPONENT. Only enabled scripts will be executed
when running any event.

script disable COMPONENT SCRIPT
Disable the specified event SCRIPT in COMPONENT. This will prevent the script from
executing when running any event.

scriptstatus
This command displays which event scripts where run in the previous monitoring cycle and
the result of each script. If a script failed with an error, causing the node to become
unhealthy, the output from that script is also shown.

This command is deprecated. It's provided for backward compatibility. In place of ctdb
scriptstatus, use ctdb event status.

getreclock
Show details of the recovery lock, if any.

Example output:

/clusterfs/.ctdb/recovery.lock

getdebug
Get the current debug level for the node. the debug level controls what information is
written to the log file.

The debug levels are mapped to the corresponding syslog levels. When a debug level is set,
only those messages at that level and higher levels will be printed.

The list of debug levels from highest to lowest are :

ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG

setdebug DEBUGLEVEL
Set the debug level of a node. This controls what information will be logged.

The debuglevel is one of ERROR WARNING NOTICE INFO DEBUG

getpid
This command will return the process id of the ctdb daemon.

disable
This command is used to administratively disable a node in the cluster. A disabled node
will still participate in the cluster and host clustered TDB records but its public ip
address has been taken over by a different node and it no longer hosts any services.

enable
Re-enable a node that has been administratively disabled.

stop
This command is used to administratively STOP a node in the cluster. A STOPPED node is
connected to the cluster but will not host any public ip addresse, nor does it participate
in the VNNMAP. The difference between a DISABLED node and a STOPPED node is that a STOPPED
node does not host any parts of the database which means that a recovery is required to
stop/continue nodes.

continue
Re-start a node that has been administratively stopped.

addip IPADDR/mask IFACE
This command is used to add a new public ip to a node during runtime. It should be
followed by a ctdb ipreallocate. This allows public addresses to be added to a cluster
without having to restart the ctdb daemons.

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. If you want this change
to be permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.

delip IPADDR
This command flags IPADDR for deletion from a node at runtime. It should be followed by a
ctdb ipreallocate. If IPADDR is currently hosted by the node it is being removed from,
this ensures that the IP will first be failed over to another node, if possible, and that
it is then actually removed.

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. If you want this change
to be permanent you must also update the public addresses file manually.

moveip IPADDR PNN
This command can be used to manually fail a public ip address to a specific node.

In order to manually override the "automatic" distribution of public ip addresses that
ctdb normally provides, this command only works when you have changed the tunables for the
daemon to:

IPAllocAlgorithm != 0

NoIPFailback = 1

shutdown
This command will shutdown a specific CTDB daemon.

setlmasterrole on|off
This command is used to 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.

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.

Once this setting has been enabled/disabled, you need to perform a recovery for it to take
effect.

INTERNAL COMMANDS

Internal commands are used by CTDB's scripts and are not required for managing a CTDB
cluster. Their parameters and behaviour are subject to change.

gettickles IPADDR
Show TCP connections that are registered with CTDB to be "tickled" if there is a failover.

gratarp IPADDR INTERFACE
Send out a gratuitous ARP for the specified interface through the specified interface.
This command is mainly used by the ctdb eventscripts.

pdelete DB KEY
Delete KEY from DB.

pfetch DB KEY
Print the value associated with KEY in DB.

pstore DB KEY FILE
Store KEY in DB with contents of FILE as the associated value.

ptrans DB [FILE]
Read a list of key-value pairs, one per line from FILE, and store them in DB using a
single transaction. An empty value is equivalent to deleting the given key.

The key and value should be separated by spaces or tabs. Each key/value should be a
printable string enclosed in double-quotes.

runstate [setup|first_recovery|startup|running]
Print the runstate of the specified node. Runstates are used to serialise important state
transitions in CTDB, particularly during startup.

If one or more optional runstate arguments are specified then the node must be in one of
these runstates for the command to succeed.

Example
# ctdb runstate
RUNNING

setifacelink IFACE up|down
Set the internal state of network interface IFACE. This is typically used in the
10.interface script in the "monitor" event.

Example: ctdb setifacelink eth0 up

tickle
Read a list of TCP connections, one per line, from standard input and send a TCP tickle to
the source host for each connection. A connection is specified as:

SRC-IPADDR:SRC-PORT DST-IPADDR:DST-PORT

A single connection can be specified on the command-line rather than on standard input.

A TCP tickle is a TCP ACK packet with an invalid sequence and acknowledge number and will
when received by the source host result in it sending an immediate correct ACK back to the
other end.

TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has occurred since this
will make the client immediately recognize the TCP connection has been disrupted and that
the client will need to reestablish. This greatly speeds up the time it takes for a client
to detect and reestablish after an IP failover in the ctdb cluster.

version
Display the CTDB version.

DEBUGGING COMMANDS

These commands are primarily used for CTDB development and testing and should not be used
for normal administration.

OPTIONS
--print-emptyrecords
This enables printing of empty records when dumping databases with the catdb, cattbd
and dumpdbbackup commands. Records with empty data segment are considered deleted by
ctdb and cleaned by the vacuuming mechanism, so this switch can come in handy for
debugging the vacuuming behaviour.

--print-datasize
This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the size of the record
data instead of dumping the data contents.

--print-lmaster
This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.

--print-hash
This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the hash for each record.

--print-recordflags
This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the record flags for each record. Note that
cattdb always prints the flags.

process-exists PID [SRVID]
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. When the optional
SRVID argument is specified, the command check if a specific process exists on the CTDB
host and has registered for specified SRVID.

getdbstatus DB
This command displays more details about a database.

Example
# ctdb getdbstatus test.tdb.0
dbid: 0x122224da
name: test.tdb
path: /var/lib/ctdb/test.tdb.0
PERSISTENT: no
HEALTH: OK

# ctdb getdbstatus registry.tdb # with a corrupted TDB
dbid: 0xf2a58948
name: registry.tdb
path: /var/lib/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0
PERSISTENT: yes
HEALTH: NO-HEALTHY-NODES - ERROR - Backup of corrupted TDB in '/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/registry.tdb.0.corrupted.20091208091949.0Z'

catdb DB
Print a dump of the clustered TDB database DB.

cattdb DB
Print a dump of the contents of the local TDB database DB.

dumpdbbackup FILE
Print a dump of the contents from database backup FILE, similar to catdb.

wipedb DB
Remove all contents of database DB.

recover
This command will trigger the recovery daemon to do a cluster recovery.

ipreallocate, sync
This command will force the leader 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.

attach DBNAME [persistent|replicated]
Create a new CTDB database called DBNAME and attach to it on all nodes.

detach DB-LIST
Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This command will disconnect
specified database(s) on all nodes in the cluster. This command should only be used when
none of the specified database(s) are in use.

All nodes should be active and tunable AllowClientDBAccess should be disabled on all nodes
before detaching databases.

dumpmemory
This is a debugging command. This command will make the ctdb daemon to write a fill memory
allocation map to standard output.

rddumpmemory
This is a debugging command. This command will dump the talloc memory allocation tree for
the recovery daemon to standard output.

ban BANTIME
Administratively ban a node for BANTIME seconds. The node will be unbanned after BANTIME
seconds have elapsed.

A banned node does not participate in the cluster. It does not host any records for the
clustered TDB and does not host any public IP addresses.

Nodes are automatically banned if they misbehave. For example, a node may be banned if it
causes too many cluster recoveries.

To administratively exclude a node from a cluster use the stop command.

unban
This command is used to unban a node that has either been administratively banned using
the ban command or has been automatically banned.
