Usage

Register an existing node on the host

Usage:
  memsqlctl register-node [flags]

Flags:
      --auditlogsdir DIRECTORY_PATH   Path to the auditlogs directory
      --datadir DIRECTORY_PATH        Path to the data directory
      --force                         Skip safety checks that require the node be online (e.g., the password is correct). Use this flag to register an offline node
  -h, --help                          Help for register-node
      --memsql-config FILE_PATH       Path to the node config file
      --password STRING               The current database root password
      --pid-file FILE_PATH            Path to the current pid file
      --plancachedir DIRECTORY_PATH   Path to the plancache directory
  -P, --port PORT                     The current port
      --ssl-fips-mode string          Whether the node operates in OpenSSL/FIPS mode
      --tracelogsdir DIRECTORY_PATH   Path to the tracelogs directory

Global Flags:
  -c, --config FILE_PATH                     Path to the memsqctl config file
      --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

Remarks

  • 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 machine. 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).

  • --password is a required flag that specifies the SingleStoreDB root password for the node being registered. You can optionally 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.

  • This command is interactive unless you use either --yes or --json flag to override interactive behavior.

  • The memsqlctl register-node command is equivalent to the sdb-admin register-node command.

Output

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
