.SH "NAME"
ndb_mgm \- the NDB Cluster management client
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBndb_mgm\ \fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\ 'u
\fBndb_mgm \fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBndb_mgm\fR
management client process is actually not needed to run the cluster\&. Its value lies in providing a set of commands for checking the cluster\*(Aqs status, starting backups, and performing other administrative functions\&. The management client accesses the management server using a C API\&. Advanced users can also employ this API for programming dedicated management processes to perform tasks similar to those performed by
\fBndb_mgm\fR\&.
.PP
To start the management client, it is necessary to supply the host name and port number of the management server:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBndb_mgm [\fR\fB\fIhost_name\fR\fR\fB [\fR\fB\fIport_num\fR\fR\fB]]\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBndb_mgm ndb_mgmd\&.mysql\&.com 1186\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
The default host name and port number are
localhost
and 1186, respectively\&.
.PP
The following table includes options that are specific to the NDB Cluster management client program
\fBndb_mgm\fR\&. Additional descriptions follow the table\&. For options common to most NDB Cluster programs (including
\fBndb_mgm\fR), see

This option specifies the number of times following the first attempt to retry a connection before giving up (the client always tries the connection at least once)\&. The length of time to wait per attempt is set using
\fB\-\-connect\-retry\-delay\fR\&.
.sp
This option is synonymous with the
\fB\-\-try\-reconnect\fR
option, which is now deprecated\&.
.sp
The default for this option this option differs from its default when used with other
NDB
programs\&. See
Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs(1), for more information\&.

.sp 1
This option can be used to send a command to the NDB Cluster management client from the system shell\&. For example, either of the following is equivalent to executing
SHOW
in the management client:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBndb_mgm \-e "SHOW"\fR
shell> \fBndb_mgm \-\-execute="SHOW"\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
This is analogous to how the
\fB\-\-execute\fR
or
\fB\-e\fR
option works with the
\fBmysql\fR
command\-line client\&. See
Section\ \&4.2.2.1, \(lqUsing Options on the Command Line\(rq\&.

If the management client command to be passed using this option contains any space characters, then the command

.sp 1
If the connection to the management server is broken, the node tries to reconnect to it every 5 seconds until it succeeds\&. By using this option, it is possible to limit the number of attempts to
\fInumber\fR
before giving up and reporting an error instead\&.
.sp
This option is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release\&. Use
\fB\-\-connect\-retries\fR, instead\&.
