register-host

Registers a host in the cluster.

This command will write the host name and SSH details to the state file maintained by Toolbox.

The --host flag provides SSH connection details for this host. The value follows standard SSH format [username@]hostname[:port]. The hostname portion of this value will be used as the cluster-addressable hostname if --cluster-hostname is not also specified.

The --cluster-hostname option provides the ability to override the cluster hostname for the host they are registering. Toolbox will use this value when configuring intra-node communication. Only specify the cluster hostname without other metadata such as username or port. For example: singlestore-abc.domain rather than singlestore-abc.domain:3306.

The --identity-file flag provides an optional SSH private key to be used to connect to the host.

Include the --tar-install-state <state-file-name-including-path> option to specify where to write the tarInstallState file on a host, which can be outside of the tarInstallDir. By default, this file is named packages.hcl and resides in the tar install directory as specified by the --tar-install-dir option, which is the recommended configuration.

Examples

sdb-toolbox-config register-host --host 127.0.0.1 --localhost

sdb-toolbox-config register-host --host user@192.0.12.3:50 --cluster-hostname first_host

Usage:

Flags:
      --allow-duplicate-host-fingerprints   Whether to allow hosts with identical SSH host keys. (ADVANCED)
      --cluster-hostname SSH_ADDRESS        The cluster-addressable hostname for this host. Tools will use this value to configure intra-node communication. Specify the hostname without additional parameters (e.g., memsql-abc.domain instead of memsql-abc.domain:3306)

      --host SSH_ADDRESS                    SSH connection details for this host in the standard SSH [username@]hostname[:port] format. The hostname value will be used as the cluster-addressable hostname if '--cluster-hostname' is not specified
  -i, --identity-file ABSOLUTE_PATH         The identity file for the host
      --localhost                           Whether this instance of Toolbox is located on the host

      --skip-validation                     Skip validation of --memsqlctl-path and --memsqlctl-config-path
      --tar-install-dir string              The directory to use for tar packages on the target host. (ADVANCED)
      --tar-install-state string            The path to the packages.hcl file on the target host. (ADVANCED)

Global Flags:
      --backup-cache FILE_PATH                File path for the backup cache
      --cache-file FILE_PATH                  File path for the Toolbox node cache
  -c, --config FILE_PATH                      File path for the Toolbox configuration
      --disable-colors                        Disable color output in console, which some terminal sessions/environments may have difficulty with
      --disable-spinner                       Disable the progress spinner, which some terminal sessions/environments may have issues with
  -j, --json                                  Enable JSON output
      --parallelism POSITIVE_INTEGER          Maximum number of operations to run in parallel
      --runtime-dir DIRECTORY_PATH            Where to store Toolbox runtime data
      --ssh-max-sessions POSITIVE_INTEGER     Maximum number of SSH sessions to open per host, must be at least 3
      --ssh-strict-host-key-checking          Enable strict host key checking for SSH connections
      --ssh-user-known-hosts-file FILE_PATH   Path to the user known_hosts file for SSH connections. If not set, /dev/null will be used
      --state-file FILE_PATH                  Toolbox state file path
  -v, --verbosity count                       Increase logging verbosity: valid values are 1, 2, 3. Usage -v=count or --verbosity=count
  -y, --yes                                   Enable non-interactive mode and assume the user would like to move forward with the proposed actions by default

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

The following example uses the register-host command to register the current local host as a host for cluster deployment.

sdb-toolbox-config register-host --host node-1 --localhost
****
Toolbox is about to register the following host:
  · Host: node-1
  · Localhost: true
