Before starting the MySQL Cluster Manager agent, you should make any necessary changes to the[mcmd] section of the agent configuration file, supplied with MySQL Cluster Manager asetc/mcmd.ini in the installation directory. On Linux and similar operating systems, you can edit this file in place; on Windows, it is recommended that you save a copy of this file to a convenient location for which the path does not contain any spaces, such asC:\mcm\data.
