<para>
ctdb is a utility to view and manage a ctdb cluster.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>OPTIONS</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term>-n <pnn></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This specifies the physical node number on which to execute the
command. Default is to run the command on the daemon running on
the local host.
</para>
<para>
The physical node number is an integer that describes the node in the
cluster. The first node has physical node number 0.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>-Y</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Produce output in machine readable form for easier parsing by scripts. Not all commands support this option.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>-t <timeout></term>
<listitem>
<para>
How long should ctdb wait for the local ctdb daemon to respond to a command before timing out. Default is 3 seconds.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>-T <timelimit></term>
<listitem>
<para>
A limit on how long the ctdb command will run for before it will
be aborted. When this timelimit has been exceeded the ctdb command will
terminate.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>-? --help</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Print some help text to the screen.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>--usage</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Print useage information to the screen.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>-d --debug=<debuglevel></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Change the debug level for the command. Default is 0.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>--socket=<filename></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Specify the socketname to use when connecting to the local ctdb
daemon. The default is /tmp/ctdb.socket .
</para>
<para>
You only need to specify this parameter if you run multiple ctdb
daemons on the same physical host and thus can not use the default
name for the domain socket.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>--print-emptyrecords</term>
<listitem>
<para>
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.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>--print-datasize</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
size of the record data instead of dumping the data contents.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>--print-lmaster</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>--print-hash</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
hash for each record.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>--print-recordflags</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the
record flags for each record. Note that cattdb always
prints the flags.
</para>
</listitem>

</refsect1>
<refsect1><title>Administrative Commands</title>
<para>
These are commands used to monitor and administrate a CTDB cluster.
</para>
<refsect2><title>pnn</title>
<para>
This command displays the pnn of the current node.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>status</title>
<para>
This command shows the current status of the ctdb node.
</para>
<refsect3><title>node status</title>
<para>
Node status reflects the current status of the node. There are five possible states:
</para>
<para>
OK - This node is fully functional.
</para>
<para>
DISCONNECTED - This node could not be connected through the network and is currently not participating in the cluster. If there is a public IP address associated with this node it should have been taken over by a different node. No services are running on this node.
</para>
<para>
DISABLED - This node has been administratively disabled. This node is still functional and participates in the CTDB cluster but its IP addresses have been taken over by a different node and no services are currently being hosted.
</para>
<para>
UNHEALTHY - A service provided by this node is malfunctioning and should be investigated. The CTDB daemon itself is operational and participates in the cluster. Its public IP address has been taken over by a different node and no services are currnetly being hosted. All unhealthy nodes should be investigated and require an administrative action to rectify.
</para>
<para>
BANNED - This node failed too many recovery attempts and has been banned from participating in the cluster for a period of RecoveryBanPeriod seconds. Any public IP address has been taken over by other nodes. This node does not provide any services. All banned nodes should be investigated and require an administrative action to rectify. This node does not perticipate in the CTDB cluster but can still be communicated with. I.e. ctdb commands can be sent to it.
</para>
<para>
STOPPED - A node that is stopped does not host any public ip addresses,
nor is it part of the VNNMAP. A stopped node can not become LVSMASTER,
RECMASTER or NATGW.
This node does not perticipate in the CTDB cluster but can still be
communicated with. I.e. ctdb commands can be sent to it.
</para>
<para>
PARTIALLYONLINE - A node that is partially online participates
in a cluster like a node that is ok. Some interfaces to serve
public ip addresses are down, but at least one interface is up.
See also "ctdb ifaces".
</para>
</refsect3>
<refsect3><title>generation</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
CTDBD 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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
</refsect3>
<refsect3><title>VNNMAP</title>
<para>
The list of Virtual Node Numbers. This is a list of all nodes that actively participates in the cluster and that share the workload of hosting the Clustered TDB database records.
Only nodes that are participating in the vnnmap can become lmaster or dmaster for a database record.
</para>
</refsect3>
<refsect3><title>Recovery mode</title>
<para>
This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:
</para>
<para>
NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
Once the recovery master 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 recovery master 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.
</para>
<para>
When CTDBD 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.
</para>
</refsect3>
<refsect3><title>Recovery master</title>
<para>
This is the cluster node that is currently designated as the recovery master. This node is responsible of monitoring the consistency of the cluster and to perform the actual recovery process when reqired.
</para>
<para>
Only one node at a time can be the designated recovery master. Which
node is designated the recovery master is decided by an election
process in the recovery daemons running on each node.
</para>
</refsect3>

<refsect2><title>nodestatus [<nodespec>]</title>
<para>
This command is similar to the <command>status</command>
command. It displays the "node status" subset of output. The
main differences are:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each
specified node, while <command>ctdb status</command> exits
with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<command>ctdb status</command> provides status information
for all nodes. <command>ctdb nodestatus</command>
defaults to providing status for only the current node.
If <nodespec> is provided then status is given for
the indicated node(s).
</para>
<para>
By default, <command>ctdb nodestatus</command> gathers
status from the local node. However, if invoked with "-n
all" (or similar) then status is gathered from the given
node(s). In particular <command>ctdb nodestatus
all</command> and <command>ctdb nodestatus -n
all</command> will produce different output. It is
possible to provide 2 different nodespecs (with and
without "-n") but the output is usually confusing!
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
A common invocation in scripts is <command>ctdb nodestatus
all</command> to check whether all nodes in a cluster are
healthy.
</para>
<para>
Example: ctdb nodestatus
</para>
<para>Example output:</para>

<refsect2><title>recmaster</title>
<para>
This command shows the pnn of the node which is currently the recmaster.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>uptime</title>
<para>
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.

<refsect2><title>lvsmaster</title>
<para>
This command shows which node is currently the LVSMASTER. The
LVSMASTER is the node in the cluster which drives the LVS system and
which receives all incoming traffic from clients.
</para>
<para>
LVS is the mode where the entire CTDB/Samba cluster uses a single
ip address for the entire cluster. In this mode all clients connect to
one specific node which will then multiplex/loadbalance the clients
evenly onto the other nodes in the cluster. This is an alternative to using
public ip addresses. See the manpage for ctdbd for more information
about LVS.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>lvs</title>
<para>
This command shows which nodes in the cluster are currently active in the
LVS configuration. I.e. which nodes we are currently loadbalancing
the single ip address across.
</para>
<para>
LVS will by default only loadbalance across those nodes that are both
LVS capable and also HEALTHY. Except if all nodes are UNHEALTHY in which
case LVS will loadbalance across all UNHEALTHY nodes as well.
LVS will never use nodes that are DISCONNECTED, STOPPED, BANNED or
DISABLED.

<refsect2><title>getcapabilities</title>
<para>
This command shows the capabilities of the current node.
Please see manpage for ctdbd for a full list of all capabilities and
more detailed description.
</para>
<para>
RECMASTER and LMASTER capabilities are primarily used when CTDBD
is used to create a cluster spanning across WAN links. In which case
ctdbd acts as a WAN accelerator.
</para>
<para>
LVS capabile means that the node is participating in LVS, a mode
where the entire CTDB cluster uses one single ip address for the
entire cluster instead of using public ip address failover.
This is an alternative to using a loadbalancing layer-4 switch.

<refsect2><title>setreclock [filename]</title>
<para>
This command is used to modify, or clear, the file that is used as the reclock file at runtime. When this command is used, the reclock file checks are disabled. To re-enable the checks the administrator needs to activate the "VerifyRecoveryLock" tunable using "ctdb setvar".
</para>
<para>
If run with no parameter this will remove the reclock file completely. If run with a parameter the parameter specifies the new filename to use for the recovery lock.
</para>

<para>
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.

This command is used to add a new public ip to a node during runtime.
This allows public addresses to be added to a cluster without having
to restart the ctdb daemons.
</para>
<para>
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.

<refsect2><title>ipreallocate</title>
<para>
This command will force the recovery master 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.

<refsect2><title>setlmasterrole <on|off></title>
<para>
This command is used ot 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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>

<refsect2><title>reloadnodes</title>
<para>
This command is used when adding new nodes, or removing existing nodes from an existing cluster.
</para>
<para>
Procedure to add a node:
</para>
<para>
1, To expand an existing cluster, first ensure with 'ctdb status' that
all nodes are up and running and that they are all healthy.
Do not try to expand a cluster unless it is completely healthy!
</para>
<para>
2, On all nodes, edit /etc/ctdb/nodes and add the new node as the last
entry to the file. The new node MUST be added to the end of this file!
</para>
<para>
3, Verify that all the nodes have identical /etc/ctdb/nodes files after you edited them and added the new node!
</para>
<para>
4, Run 'ctdb reloadnodes' to force all nodes to reload the nodesfile.
</para>
<para>
5, Use 'ctdb status' on all nodes and verify that they now show the additional node.
</para>
<para>
6, Install and configure the new node and bring it online.
</para>
<para>
Procedure to remove a node:
</para>
<para>
1, To remove a node from an existing cluster, first ensure with 'ctdb status' that
all nodes, except the node to be deleted, are up and running and that they are all healthy.
Do not try to remove a node from a cluster unless the cluster is completely healthy!
</para>
<para>
2, Shutdown and poweroff the node to be removed.
</para>
<para>
3, On all other nodes, edit the /etc/ctdb/nodes file and comment out the node to be removed. Do not delete the line for that node, just comment it out by adding a '#' at the beginning of the line.
</para>
<para>
4, Run 'ctdb reloadnodes' to force all nodes to reload the nodesfile.
</para>
<para>
5, Use 'ctdb status' on all nodes and verify that the deleted node no longer shows up in the list..

</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>reloadips</title>
<para>
This command is used to reload the public addresses file and update the
ip configuration of the running daemon.
</para>
<para>
Procedure to update the public address configuration on a single node:
</para>
<para>
1, Update the /etc/ctdb/public_addresses file on the node
</para>
<para>
2, Run 'ctdb reloadips' on the node.
</para>
<para>
The file will then be reloaded on the node and addresses will be added
or removed as required to match the newly loaded file. When updating
a single node it may take a little while before any newly added
addresses are failed onto the node.
</para>
<para>
</para>
<para>
Procedure to update the public address configuration on whole cluster:
</para>
<para>
1, Update the /etc/ctdb/public_addresses file on all nodes
</para>
<para>
2, Run 'ctdb reloadips -n all'.
</para>
<para>
This command will then force all nodes to reload and update the
addresses. This process is controlled and synchronized by the recovery
master to ensure that all addresses are added to all nodes as one
single operation, after which any required ip node rebalancing may
may take place.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>tickle <srcip:port> <dstip:port></title>
<para>
This command will will send a TCP tickle to the source host for the
specified TCP connection.
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.
</para>
<para>
TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has
occured 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.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>gettickles <ip></title>
<para>
This command is used to show which TCP connections are registered with
CTDB to be "tickled" if there is a failover.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>repack [max_freelist]</title>
<para>
Over time, when records are created and deleted in a TDB, the TDB list of free space will become fragmented. This can lead to a slowdown in accessing TDB records.
This command is used to defragment a TDB database and pruning the freelist.
</para>
<para>
If [max_freelist] is specified, then a database will only be repacked if it has more than this number of entries in the freelist.
</para>
<para>
During repacking of the database, the entire TDB database will be locked to prevent writes. If samba tries to write to a record in the database during a repack operation, samba will block until the repacking has completed.
</para>
<para>
This command can be disruptive and can cause samba to block for the duration of the repack operation. In general, a repack operation will take less than one second to complete.
</para>
<para>
A repack operation will only defragment the local TDB copy of the CTDB database. You need to run this command on all of the nodes to repack a CTDB database completely.
</para>
<para>
Example: ctdb repack 1000
</para>
<para>
By default, this operation is issued from the 00.ctdb event script every 5 minutes.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>vacuum [max_records]</title>
<para>
Over time CTDB databases will fill up with empty deleted records which will lead to a progressive slow down of CTDB database access.
This command is used to prune all databases and delete all empty records from the cluster.
</para>
<para>
By default, vacuum will delete all empty records from all databases.
If [max_records] is specified, the command will only delete the first
[max_records] empty records for each database.
</para>
<para>
Vacuum only deletes records where the local node is the lmaster.
To delete all records from the entire cluster you need to run a vacuum from each node.
This command is not disruptive. Samba is unaffected and will still be able to read/write records normally while the database is being vacuumed.
</para>
<para>
Example: ctdb vacuum
</para>
<para>
By default, this operation is issued from the 00.ctdb event script every 5 minutes.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>backupdb <dbname> <file></title>
<para>
This command can be used to copy the entire content of a database out to a file. This file can later be read back into ctdb using the restoredb command.
This is mainly useful for backing up persistent databases such as secrets.tdb and similar.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>restoredb <file> [<dbname>]</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>wipedb <dbname></title>
<para>
This command can be used to remove all content of a database.
</para>
</refsect2>
</refsect1>
<refsect2><title>getlog [<level>] [recoverd]</title>
<para>
In addition to the normal logging to a log file,
CTDBD also keeps a in-memory ringbuffer containing the most recent
log entries for all log levels (except DEBUG).
</para>
<para>
This is useful since it allows for keeping continuous logs to a file
at a reasonable non-verbose level, but shortly after an incident has
occured, a much more detailed log can be pulled from memory. This
can allow you to avoid having to reproduce an issue due to the
on-disk logs being of insufficient detail.
</para>
<para>
This command extracts all messages of level or lower log level
from memory and prints it to the screen. The level is not
specified it defaults to NOTICE.
</para>
<para>
By default, logs are extracted from the main CTDB daemon. If
the recoverd option is given then logs are extracted from the
recovery daemon.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>clearlog [recoverd]</title>
<para>
This command clears the in-memory logging ringbuffer.
</para>
<para>
By default, logs are cleared in the main CTDB daemon. If the
recoverd option is given then logs are cleared in the recovery
daemon.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>setdbreadonly <dbname|hash></title>
<para>
This command will enable the ReadOnly 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.
For now, this feature requires a special patch to samba in order to
use it.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect1><title>Debugging Commands</title>
<para>
These commands are primarily used for CTDB development and testing and
should not be used for normal administration.
</para>
<refsect2><title>process-exists <pid></title>
<para>
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.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>getdbmap</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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 automaticly. Otherwise an administrator needs to analyze the
problem.
</para>
<para>
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".
</para>
<para>
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.

<refsect2><title>getmonmode</title>
<para>
This command returns the monutoring mode of a node. The monitoring mode is either ACTIVE or DISABLED. Normally a node will continuously monitor that all other nodes that are expected are in fact connected and that they respond to commands.
</para>
<para>
ACTIVE - This is the normal mode. The node is actively monitoring all other nodes, both that the transport is connected and also that the node responds to commands. If a node becomes unavailable, it will be marked as DISCONNECTED and a recovery is initiated to restore the cluster.
</para>
<para>
DISABLED - This node is not monitoring that other nodes are available. In this mode a node failure will not be detected and no recovery will be performed. This mode is useful when for debugging purposes one wants to attach GDB to a ctdb process but wants to prevent the rest of the cluster from marking this node as DISCONNECTED and do a recovery.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2><title>setmonmode <0|1></title>
<para>
This command can be used to explicitly disable/enable monitoring mode on a node. The main purpose is if one wants to attach GDB to a running ctdb daemon but wants to prevent the other nodes from marking it as DISCONNECTED and issuing a recovery. To do this, set monitoring mode to 0 on all nodes before attaching with GDB. Remember to set monitoring mode back to 1 afterwards.

<para>
Administratively ban a node for bantime seconds. A bantime of 0 means that the node should be permanently banned.
</para>
<para>
A banned node does not participate in the cluster and does not host any records for the clustered TDB. Its ip address has been taken over by another node and no services are hosted.
</para>
<para>
Nodes are automatically banned if they are the cause of too many
cluster recoveries.
</para>
<para>
This is primarily a testing command. Note that the recovery daemon controls the overall ban state and it may automatically unban nodes at will. Meaning that a node that has been banned by the administrator can and ofter are unbanned before the admin specifid timeout triggers. If wanting to "drop" a node out from the cluster for mainentance or other reasons, use the "stop" / "continue" commands instad of "ban" / "unban".
