17.5.2 Commands in the MySQL Cluster Management Client

In addition to the central configuration file, a cluster may also be controlled through a command-line interface available through the management client ndb_mgm. This is the primary administrative interface to a running cluster.

Commands for the event logs are given in Section 17.5.6, “Event Reports Generated in MySQL Cluster”; commands for creating backups and restoring from them are provided in Section 17.5.3, “Online Backup of MySQL Cluster”.

The management client has the following basic commands. In the listing that follows, node_id denotes either a database node ID or the keyword ALL, which indicates that the command should be applied to all of the cluster's data nodes.
