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
PNN-LIST
Commands that reference a database use the following terms:
DB
DB-LIST
OPTIONS¶
-n PNN
-Y
-x SEPARATOR
-X
This is equivalent to "-x|" and avoids some shell quoting issues.
-t TIMEOUT
-T TIMELIMIT
-? --help
--usage
-d --debug=DEBUGLEVEL
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 required.
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:
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
Example output:
1 192.168.2.201
list
Example output:
192.168.2.200 192.168.2.201 LEADER 192.168.2.202 192.168.2.203
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] 172.31.91.84 node[1] active[] available[eth2,eth3] configured[eth2,eth3] 172.31.91.85 node[0] active[eth2] available[eth2,eth3] configured[eth2,eth3] 172.31.92.82 node[1] active[] available[eth5] configured[eth4,eth5] 172.31.92.83 node[0] active[eth5] available[eth5] configured[eth4,eth5] 172.31.92.84 node[1] active[] available[eth5] configured[eth4,eth5] 172.31.92.85 node[0] active[eth5] available[eth5] configured[eth4,eth5] # ctdb -X ip -v |Public IP|Node|ActiveInterface|AvailableInterfaces|ConfiguredInterfaces| |172.31.91.82|1||eth2,eth3|eth2,eth3| |172.31.91.83|0|eth3|eth2,eth3|eth2,eth3| |172.31.91.84|1||eth2,eth3|eth2,eth3| |172.31.91.85|0|eth2|eth2,eth3|eth2,eth3| |172.31.92.82|1||eth5|eth4,eth5| |172.31.92.83|0|eth5|eth5|eth4,eth5| |172.31.92.84|1||eth5|eth4,eth5| |172.31.92.85|0|eth5|eth5|eth4,eth5|

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 addresses, 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.
See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
setleaderrole on|off¶
This command is used to enable/disable the LEADER capability for a node at runtime. This capability determines whether or not a node can be elected leader of the cluster. A node that does not have the LEADER capability can not be elected leader. If the current leader has this capability removed then an election will occur.
Nodes have this capability enabled by default, but it can be removed via the cluster:leader capability configuration setting or by using this command.
See also "ctdb getcapabilities"
reloadnodes¶
This command is used when adding new nodes, or removing existing nodes from an existing cluster.
Procedure to add nodes:
Procedure to remove nodes:
reloadips [PNN-LIST]¶
This command reloads the public addresses configuration file on the specified nodes. When it completes addresses will be reconfigured and reassigned across the cluster as necessary.
This command is currently unable to make changes to the netmask or interfaces associated with existing addresses. Such changes must be made in 2 steps by deleting addresses in question and re-adding then. Unfortunately this will disrupt connections to the changed addresses.
getdbmap¶
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. Some database are flagged as REPLICATED, this means that the data in that database is replicated across all the nodes. But the data will not remain across reboots. This type of database is used by CTDB to store it's internal state.
If a PERSISTENT database is not in a healthy state the database is flagged as UNHEALTHY. If there's at least one completely healthy node running in the cluster, it's possible that the content is restored by a recovery run automatically. Otherwise an administrator needs to analyze the problem.
See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb", "ctdb dumpbackup", "ctdb wipedb", "ctdb setvar AllowUnhealthyDBRead 1" and (if samba or tdb-utils are installed) "tdbtool check".
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.
Example
# ctdb getdbmap Number of databases:10 dbid:0x435d3410 name:notify.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/notify.tdb.0 dbid:0x42fe72c5 name:locking.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/locking.tdb.0 dbid:0x1421fb78 name:brlock.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/brlock.tdb.0 dbid:0x17055d90 name:connections.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/connections.tdb.0 dbid:0xc0bdde6a name:sessionid.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/sessionid.tdb.0 dbid:0x122224da name:test.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/test.tdb.0 dbid:0x2672a57f name:idmap2.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/idmap2.tdb.0 PERSISTENT dbid:0xb775fff6 name:secrets.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/secrets.tdb.0 PERSISTENT dbid:0xe98e08b6 name:group_mapping.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/group_mapping.tdb.0 PERSISTENT dbid:0x7bbbd26c name:passdb.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/passdb.tdb.0 PERSISTENT # ctdb getdbmap # example for unhealthy database Number of databases:1 dbid:0xb775fff6 name:secrets.tdb path:/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/secrets.tdb.0 PERSISTENT UNHEALTHY # ctdb -X getdbmap |ID|Name|Path|Persistent|Unhealthy| |0x7bbbd26c|passdb.tdb|/var/lib/ctdb/persistent/passdb.tdb.0|1|0|
backupdb DB FILE¶
Copy the contents of database DB to FILE. FILE can later be read back using restoredb. This is mainly useful for backing up persistent databases such as secrets.tdb and similar.
restoredb FILE [DB]¶
This command restores a persistent database that was previously backed up using backupdb. By default the data will be restored back into the same database as it was created from. By specifying dbname you can restore the data into a different database.
setdbreadonly DB¶
This command will enable the read-only record support for a database. This is an experimental feature to improve performance for contended records primarily in locking.tdb and brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you must set it on all nodes in the cluster.
setdbsticky DB¶
This command will enable the sticky record support for the specified database. This is an experimental feature to improve performance for contended records primarily in locking.tdb and brlock.tdb. When enabling this feature you must set it on all nodes in the cluster.
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
--print-datasize
--print-lmaster
--print-hash
--print-recordflags
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.
