ndbd — The NDB Cluster Data Node Daemon Prevents  ndbd  or  ndbmtd  from executing as a daemon process. This option overrides the  --daemon option. This is useful for redirecting output to the screen when debugging the binary. The default behavior for  ndbd  and  ndbmtd  on Windows is to run in the foreground, making this option unnecessary on Windows platforms, where it has no effect. Do not read default options from any option file other than login file. Instructs  ndbd  not to start automatically. When this option is used,  ndbd  connects to the management server, obtains configuration data from it, and initializes communication objects. However, it does not actually start the execution engine until specifically requested to do so by the management server. This can be accomplished by issuing the proper  START  command in the management client (see Section 23.5.1, “Commands in the NDB Cluster Management Client” ). This option takes a list of data nodes for which the cluster does not wait, prior to starting. This can be used to start the cluster in a partitioned state. For example, to start the cluster with only half of the data nodes (nodes 2, 3, 4, and 5) running in a 4-node cluster, you can start each  ndbd  process with  --nowait-nodes=3,5 . In this case, the cluster starts as soon as nodes 2 and 4 connect, and does  not  wait  StartPartitionedTimeout  milliseconds for nodes 3 and 5 to connect as it would otherwise. If you wanted to start up the same cluster as in the previous example without one  ndbd  (say, for example, that the host machine for node 3 has suffered a hardware failure) then start nodes 2, 4, and 5 with  --nowait-nodes=3 . Then the cluster starts as soon as nodes 2, 4, and 5 connect, and does not wait for node 3 to start.
