    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      ctdb is a utility to view and manage a CTDB cluster.
    </para>

    <para>
      The following terms are used when referring to nodes in a
      cluster:
      <variablelist>
	<varlistentry>
	  <term>PNN</term>
	  <listitem>
	    <para>
	      Physical Node Number.  The physical node number is an
	      integer that describes the node in the cluster. The
	      first node has physical node number 0.  in a cluster.
	    </para>
	  </listitem>
	</varlistentry>
	<varlistentry>
	  <term>PNN-LIST</term>
	  <listitem>
	    <para>
	      This is either a single PNN, a comma-separate list of PNNs
	      or "all".
	    </para>
	  </listitem>
	</varlistentry>
      </variablelist>
    </para>

    <para>
      Commands that reference a database use the following terms:
      <variablelist>
	<varlistentry>
	  <term>DB</term>
	  <listitem>
	    <para>
	      This is either a database name, such as
	      <filename>locking.tdb</filename> or a database ID such
	      as "0x42fe72c5".
	    </para>
	  </listitem>
	</varlistentry>
	<varlistentry>
	  <term>DB-LIST</term>
	  <listitem>
	    <para>
	      A space separated list of at least one
	      <parameter>DB</parameter>.
	    </para>
	  </listitem>
	</varlistentry>
      </variablelist>
    </para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>OPTIONS</title>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry><term>-n <parameter>PNN</parameter></term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  The node specified by PNN should be queried for the
	  requested information.  Default is to query the daemon
	  running on the local host.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>-Y</term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Produce output in machine readable form for easier parsing
	  by scripts. This uses a field delimiter of ':'.  Not all
	  commands support this option.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>-x <parameter>SEPARATOR</parameter></term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Use SEPARATOR to delimit fields in machine readable output.
	  This implies -Y.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>-X</term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Produce output in machine readable form for easier parsing
	  by scripts. This uses a field delimiter of '|'.  Not all
	  commands support this option.
	</para>
	<para>
	  This is equivalent to "-x|" and avoids some shell quoting
	  issues.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>-t <parameter>TIMEOUT</parameter></term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Indicates that ctdb should wait up to TIMEOUT seconds for
	  a response to most commands sent to the CTDB daemon.  The
	  default is 10 seconds.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>-T <parameter>TIMELIMIT</parameter></term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Indicates that TIMELIMIT is the maximum run time (in
	  seconds) for the ctdb command.  When TIMELIMIT is exceeded
	  the ctdb command will terminate with an error.  The default
	  is 120 seconds.
	</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 usage information to the screen.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>-d --debug=<parameter>DEBUGLEVEL</parameter></term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Change the debug level for the command. Default is NOTICE.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
    </variablelist>

  <refsect1>
    <title>ADMINISTRATIVE COMMANDS</title>
    <para>
      These are commands used to monitor and administer 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 all CTDB nodes based
	on information from the queried node.
      </para>

      <para>
	Note: If the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
	might not be current.
      </para>

      <refsect3>
	<title>Node status</title>
	<para>
	  This includes the number of physical nodes and the status of
	  each node.  See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
	  <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for information
	  about node states.
	</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.  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.
	</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>Virtual Node Number (VNN) map</title>
	<para>
	  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.
	</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 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.
	</para>
	<para>
	  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.
	</para>
      </refsect3>
      <refsect3>
	<title>Leader</title>
	<para>
	  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 reqired.
	</para>
	<para>
	  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.
	</para>
      </refsect3>

      <para>
	This command is used to administratively disable a node in the cluster.

	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.

      <title>addip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter>/<parameter>mask</parameter> <parameter>IFACE</parameter></title>
      <para>
	This command is used to add a new public ip to a node
	during runtime.  It should be followed by a <command>ctdb
	ipreallocate</command>.  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

    <refsect2>
      <title>delip <parameter>IPADDR</parameter></title>
      <para>
	This command flags IPADDR for deletion from a node at runtime.
	It should be followed by a <command>ctdb
	ipreallocate</command>.  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.
      </para>
      <para>
	Note that this only updates the runtime instance of CTDB.  Any

      <title>setlmasterrole on|off</title>
      <para>
	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.
      </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.

	does not have the LEADER capability can not be elected
	leader. If the current leader has this capability removed then
	an election will occur.

      <para>
	This command is currently unable to make changes to the

    <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.  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.
      </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 automatically. Otherwise an
	administrator needs to analyze the problem.
      </para>
      <para>
	See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb",

	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.

      <title>runstate [setup|first_recovery|startup|running]</title>
      <para>
	Print the runstate of the specified node.  Runstates are used
	to serialise important state transitions in CTDB, particularly
	during startup.
      </para>

      <title>tickle</title>
      <para>
	Read a list of TCP connections, one per line, from standard

	connection.  A connection is specified as:
      </para>
      <synopsis>
	<parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter>
      </synopsis>
      <para>
	A single connection can be specified on the command-line
	rather than on standard input.
      </para>
      <para>
	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
	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.

      <title>OPTIONS</title>

      <variablelist>
	<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>

      <title>process-exists <parameter>PID</parameter> <parameter>[SRVID]</parameter></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

    <refsect2>
      <title>ipreallocate, sync</title>
      <para>
	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.

    <refsect2>
      <title>detach <parameter>DB-LIST</parameter></title>
      <para>
	Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This

      <para>
	Administratively ban a node for BANTIME seconds.  The node
	will be unbanned after BANTIME seconds have elapsed.
      </para>
      <para>
	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.
      </para>
      <para>
	Nodes are automatically banned if they misbehave.  For
	example, a node may be banned if it causes too many cluster
	recoveries.
