18.3.2.1 NDB Cluster Data Node Configuration Parameters

18.3.2.1 NDB Cluster Data Node Configuration Parameters
Previous	18.3.2 Overview of NDB Cluster Configuration Parameters, Options, and Variables	Next

The summary table in this section provides information about parameters used in the [ndbd] or [ndbd default] sections of a config.ini file for configuring NDB Cluster data nodes. For detailed descriptions and other additional information about each of these parameters, see Section 18.3.3.6, “Defining NDB Cluster Data Nodes”.

These parameters also apply to ndbmtd, the multi-threaded version of ndbd. For more information, see Section 18.4.3, “ndbmtd — The NDB Cluster Data Node Daemon (Multi-Threaded)”.

Restart types. Changes in NDB Cluster configuration parameters do not take effect until the cluster is restarted. The type of restart required to change a given parameter is indicated in the summary table as follows:

N—Node restart: The parameter can be updated using a rolling restart (see Section 18.5.5, “Performing a Rolling Restart of an NDB Cluster”).
S—System restart: The cluster must be shut down completely, then restarted, to effect a change in this parameter.
I—Initial restart: Data nodes must be restarted using the --initial option.

For more information about restart types, see Section 18.3.2, “Overview of NDB Cluster Configuration Parameters, Options, and Variables”.

NDB Cluster 7.3 and later support the addition of new data node groups online, to a running cluster. For more information, see Section 18.5.13, “Adding NDB Cluster Data Nodes Online”.
