Now let's asume you want to restart the MySQL cluster, for example because you have changed /var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini on loadb1.example.com or for some other reason. To do this, you use the ndb_mgm cluster management client on loadb1.example.com:
loadb1.example.com:
ndb_mgm
On the ndb_mgm console, you type
shutdown;
You will then see something like this:
ndb_mgm> shutdown;Node 3: Cluster shutdown initiatedNode 2: Node shutdown completed.2 NDB Cluster node(s) have shutdown.NDB Cluster management server shutdown.ndb_mgm>
This means that the cluster nodes sql1.example.com and sql2.example.com and also the cluster management server have shut down.
Run
quit;
to leave the ndb_mgm console.
To start the cluster management server, do this on loadb1.example.com:
loadb1.example.com:
ndb_mgmd -f /var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini
and on sql1.example.com and sql2.example.com you run
sql1.example.com / sql2.example.com:
ndbd
or, if you have changed /var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini on loadb1.example.com:
ndbd --initial
Afterwards, you can check on loadb1.example.com if the cluster has restarted:
loadb1.example.com:
ndb_mgm
On the ndb_mgm console, type
show;
to see the current status of the cluster. It might take a few seconds after a restart until all nodes are reported as connected.
Type
quit;
to leave the ndb_mgm console.
