register-node

Register an existing node on the host.

The path to the node’s memsql.cnf file must be passed into the --memsql-config flag. The default location for this file is at /var/lib/memsql/<UUID>/memsql.cnf on the host. Also, the auditlogs, data, tracelogs, and plancache directories specified in memsql.cnf must be owned by the SingleStoreDB user for that node. The default owner:group for each node is memsql:memsql.

The register-node command also assumes the node is online. If you are trying to register a node that is offline, you must specify --force when running this command. Note: This will cause memsqlctl to skip safety checks that require the node to be online (e.g., password is correct).

The --password flag is required and specifies the SingleStoreDB root password for the node being registered. You can use this flag in conjunction with the --user flag to specify a SingleStoreDB user that is different from the root user and the user’s password. Note that the MEMSQL_PASSWORD environment variable is a safer alternative option for setting the password.

Wrap the password string in single quotes (') to avoid having the shell try to interpret any special characters included in the string.

Usage:
  memsqlctl register-node [flags]

      --plancachedir DIRECTORY_PATH   Path to the plancache directory
  -P, --port PORT                     The current port

      --default-install-dir DIRECTORY_PATH   Path to the default install directory
      --insecure-ssl                         Fall back to insecure SSL connections to local SingleStoreDB nodes if memsqlctl is unable to otherwise establish a connection (ADVANCED)
  -j, --json                                 Print output in JSON format
      --node-metadata-file FILE_PATH         Path to the node metadata file
      --parallelism POSITIVE_INTEGER         Maximum amount of operations to be run in parallel
      --ssl-ca FILE_PATH                     The path to the CA certificate file (in PEM format) to authenticate the database certificate
      --timeout duration                     Maximum time for operation to complete (e.g., 30s, 10m, 1.5h)
      --verbose-json                         Print output in JSON format, include some warnings and user messages
  -v, --verbosity count                      Increase logging verbosity
  -y, --yes                                  Enable non-interactive mode and assume the user would like to move forward with the proposed actions by default

The following example shows how to register an existing node with a different memsql.cnf file.

sudo memsqlctl register-node --memsql-config /tmp/memsql.cnf
****
memsqlctl will perform the following actions:
  · Register node on port 3308
    - Config file = /tmp/memsql.cnf
      + datadir = /tmp/data
      + plancachedir = /tmp/plancache
      + tracelogsdir = /tmp/tracelogs
      + auditlogsdir = /tmp/auditlogs
