ndbd
Version Introduced
Command-Line Format
This option takes a list of data nodes which for which the cluster will not wait for before starting.
This can be used to start the cluster in a partitioned state. For example, to start the cluster with only
half of the data nodes (nodes 2, 3, 4, and 5) running in a 4-node cluster, you can start each
process with --nowait-nodes=3,5. In this case, the cluster starts as soon as nodes 2 and 4
connect, and does not wait
as it would otherwise.
If you wanted to start up the same cluster as in the previous example without one ndbd—say, for
example, that the host machine for node 3 has suffered a hardware failure—then start nodes 2, 4,
and 5 with --nowait-nodes=3. Then the cluster will start as soon as nodes 2, 4, and 5 connect
and will not wait for node 3 to start.
When using this option, you must also specify the node ID for the data node being started with the

This option was added in MySQL 5.0.21.
