ndb_mgm

SYNOPSIS
       ndb_mgm options

DESCRIPTION
       The ndb_mgm management client process is actually not needed to run the
       cluster. Its value lies in providing a set of commands for checking the
       cluster's 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 ndb_mgm.

       To start the management client, it is necessary to supply the host name
       and port number of the management server:

          shell> ndb_mgm [host_name [port_num]]

       For example:

          shell> ndb_mgm ndb_mgmd.mysql.com 1186

       The default host name and port number are localhost and 1186,
       respectively.

       The following list includes options that are specific to ndb_mgm. For
       options common to all NDB programs, see Section 17.6.2, "Options Common
       to MySQL Cluster Programs".

       o  --try-reconnect=number

          +--------------------+-------------------+
          |Command Line Format | --try-reconnect=# |
          +--------------------+-------------------+
          |Value Set           | [nested table]*   |
          +--------------------+-------------------+

       *[nested table]
       +--------+---------+
       |Type    | boolean |
       +--------+---------+
       |Default | TRUE    |
       +--------+---------+
       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 number before
       giving up and reporting an error instead.
