register-node

Description

Register an existing SingleStore node on a specific host so it can be managed by sdb-admin and memsqlctl.

The --password flag is required and specifies the SingleStore root password for the node being registered. You can use this flag in conjunction with the --user flag to specify a SingleStore 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

Usage:
sdb-admin register-node [flags]
For flags that can accept multiple values (indicated by VALUES after the name of the flag),
separate each value with a comma.
Flags:
--auditlogsdir string Path to the auditlogsdir of the node, if not already specified in the node config file)
--datadir string Path to the datadir of the node, if not already specified in the node config file
--force Skip safety checks that require the node be online (e.g., if the password is correct). Use this flag to register an offline node

--memsql-config string Path to the node config file path of the node
-p, --password STRING The current database root password for the node. If a password is specified on the command line, it must not contain an unescaped '$' character as it will be replaced by the shell.
If a password is not specified on the command line, Toolbox will attempt to read the password from the ‘MEMSQL_PASSWORD’ environment variable.
If this variable is present but does not contain a value, or if the variable does not exist, Toolbox will prompt for a password
