.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This tool extracts current configuration information for data nodes, SQL nodes, and API nodes from one of a number of sources: a MySQL Cluster management node, or its
config\&.ini
or
my\&.cnf
file\&. By default, the management node is the source for the configuration data; to override the default, execute ndb_config with the
\fB\-\-config\-file\fR
or
\fB\-\-mycnf\fR
option\&. It is also possible to use a data node as the source by specifying its node ID with
\fB\-\-config_from_node=\fR\fB\fInode_id\fR\fR\&.
.PP
\fBndb_config\fR
can also provide an offline dump of all configuration parameters which can be used, along with their default, maximum, and minimum values and other information\&. The dump can be produced in either text or XML format; for more information, see the discussion of the
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
and
\fB\-\-xml\fR
options later in this section)\&.
.PP
You can filter the results by section (DB,
SYSTEM, or
CONNECTIONS) using one of the options
\fB\-\-nodes\fR,
\fB\-\-system\fR, or
\fB\-\-connections\fR\&.
.PP
The following table includes options that are specific to
\fBndb_config\fR\&. Additional descriptions follow the table\&. For options common to most MySQL Cluster programs (including
\fBndb_config\fR), see
Options Common to MySQL Cluster Programs(1)\&.

While the hostname
localhost
usually resolves to the IP address
127\&.0\&.0\&.1, this may not necessarily be true for all operating platforms and configurations\&. This means that it is possible, when
localhost
is used in
config\&.ini, for
\fBndb_config \fR\fB\fB\-\-host=localhost\fR\fR
to fail if
\fBndb_config\fR
is run on a different host where
localhost
resolves to a different address (for example, on some versions of SUSE Linux, this is
127\&.0\&.0\&.2)\&. In general, for best results, you should use numeric IP addresses for all MySQL Cluster configuration values relating to hosts, or verify that all MySQL Cluster hosts handle
localhost
in the same fashion\&.

Normally, the XML output produced by
\fBndb_config\fR
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
\fB\-\-xml\fR
is formatted using one line per element; we have added extra whitespace in the previous example, as well as the next one, for reasons of legibility\&. This should not make any difference to applications using this output, since most XML processors either ignore nonessential whitespace as a matter of course, or can be instructed to do so\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
The XML output also indicates when changing a given parameter requires that data nodes be restarted using the
\fB\-\-initial\fR
option\&. This is shown by the presence of an
initial="true"
attribute in the corresponding
<param>
element\&. In addition, the restart type (system
or
node) is also shown; if a given parameter requires a system restart, this is indicated by the presence of a
restart="system"
attribute in the corresponding
<param>
element\&. For example, changing the value set for the
Diskless
parameter requires a system initial restart, as shown here (with the
restart
and
initial
attributes highlighted for visibility):
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
<param name="Diskless" comment="Run wo/ disk" type="bool" default="false" 
          \fIrestart="system" initial="true"\fR/>
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Currently, no
initial
attribute is included in the XML output for
<param>
elements corresponding to parameters which do not require initial restarts; in other words,
initial="false"
is the default, and the value
false
should be assumed if the attribute is not present\&. Similarly, the default restart type is
node
(that is, an online or
\(lqrolling\(rq
restart of the cluster), but the
restart
attribute is included only if the restart type is
system
(meaning that all cluster nodes must be shut down at the same time, then restarted)\&.

The
\fB\-\-xml\fR
option can be used only with the
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
option\&. Using
\fB\-\-xml\fR
without
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
fails with an error\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
Unlike the options used with this program to obtain current configuration data,
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
and
\fB\-\-xml\fR
use information obtained from the MySQL Cluster sources when
\fBndb_config\fR
was compiled\&. For this reason, no connection to a running MySQL Cluster or access to a
config\&.ini
or
my\&.cnf
file is required for these two options\&.
.sp
Combining other
\fBndb_config\fR
options (such as
\fB\-\-query\fR
or
\fB\-\-type\fR) with
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
or
\fB\-\-xml\fR
is not supported\&. Currently, if you attempt to do so, the usual result is that all other options besides
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
or
\fB\-\-xml\fR
are simply ignored\&.
\fIHowever, this behavior is not guaranteed and is subject to change at any time\fR\&. In addition, since
\fBndb_config\fR, when used with the
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
option, does not access the MySQL Cluster or read any files, trying to specify additional options such as
\fB\-\-ndb\-connectstring\fR
or
\fB\-\-config\-file\fR
with
\fB\-\-configinfo\fR
serves no purpose\&.
