MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual  / ...  / MySQL NDB Cluster 8.0  / NDB Cluster Programs  /  ndb_waiter — Wait for NDB Cluster to Reach a Given Status

25.5.30 ndb_waiter — Wait for NDB Cluster to Reach a Given Status

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 achieveSTARTED status, in which all nodes have started and connected to the cluster. This can be overridden using the--no-contact and--not-started 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 aSTART orRESTART 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'sRESTART command.

  • STARTING: The node'sndbd 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.

Options that can be used withndb_waiter are shown in the following table. Additional descriptions follow the table.

Sample Output.  Shown here is the output fromndb_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.

$> ./ndb_waiter -c localhostConnecting to mgmsrv at (localhost)State node 1 STARTEDState node 2 NO_CONTACTState node 3 STARTEDState node 4 NO_CONTACTWaiting for cluster enter state STARTED...State node 1 STARTEDState node 2 UNKNOWNState node 3 STARTEDState node 4 NO_CONTACTWaiting for cluster enter state STARTED...State node 1 STARTEDState node 2 STARTINGState node 3 STARTEDState node 4 NO_CONTACTWaiting for cluster enter state STARTED...State node 1 STARTEDState node 2 STARTINGState node 3 STARTEDState node 4 UNKNOWNWaiting for cluster enter state STARTED...State node 1 STARTEDState node 2 STARTINGState node 3 STARTEDState node 4 STARTINGWaiting for cluster enter state STARTED...State node 1 STARTEDState node 2 STARTEDState node 3 STARTEDState node 4 STARTINGWaiting for cluster enter state STARTED...State node 1 STARTEDState node 2 STARTEDState node 3 STARTEDState node 4 STARTEDWaiting for cluster enter state STARTED
Note

If no connection string is specified, thenndb_waiter tries to connect to a management onlocalhost, and reportsConnecting to mgmsrv at (null).

Prior to NDB 8.0.20, this program printedNDBT_ProgramExit -status upon completion of its run, due to an unnecessary dependency on theNDBT testing library. This dependency has been removed, eliminating the extraneous output.
