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.
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'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.
The following table includes options that are specific to the NDB Cluster native backup restoration program ndb_waiter. Additional descriptions follow the table. For options common to most NDB Cluster programs (including ndb_waiter), see Section 22.4.31, “Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs — Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs”.

Wait for cluster to reach NO CONTACT state | All NDB 8.0 releases |
|
Wait for cluster to reach NOT STARTED state | All NDB 8.0 releases |
|

Usage
ndb_waiter [-c connection_string]
Additional Options
Instead of waiting for the
STARTED
state, ndb_waiter continues running until the cluster reachesNO_CONTACT
status before exiting.Instead of waiting for the
STARTED
state, ndb_waiter continues running until the cluster reachesNOT_STARTED
status before exiting.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).
The program waits for the cluster to enter single user mode.
When this option is used, ndb_waiter does not wait for the nodes whose IDs are listed. The list is comma-delimited; ranges can be indicated by dashes, as shown here:
shell> ndb_waiter --nowait-nodes=1,3,7-9
ImportantDo not use this option together with the
--wait-nodes
option.When this option is used, ndb_waiter waits only for the nodes whose IDs are listed. The list is comma-delimited; ranges can be indicated by dashes, as shown here:
shell> ndb_waiter --wait-nodes=2,4-6,10
ImportantDo not use this option together with the
--nowait-nodes
option.
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.
