      <variablelist>
	<varlistentry>
	  <term>PNN</term>
	  <listitem>
	    <para>
	      Physical Node Number.  The physical node number is an
	      integer that describes the node in the cluster. The
	      first node has physical node number 0.  in a cluster.

    <title>OPTIONS</title>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry><term>-n <parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  The nodes specified by PNN-LIST should be queried for the
	  requested information.  Default is to query the daemon
	  running on the local host.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>-Y</term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Produce output in machine readable form for easier parsing
	  by scripts. Not all commands support this option.
	</para>
      </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>-t <parameter>TIMEOUT</parameter></term>
      <listitem>
	<para>
	  Indicates that ctdb should wait up to TIMEOUT seconds for
	  a response to most commands sent to the CTDB daemon.  The
	  default is 10 seconds.

  <refsect1>
    <title>ADMINISTRATIVE COMMANDS</title>
    <para>
      These are commands used to monitor and administer a CTDB cluster.
    </para>

    <refsect2>
      <title>pnn</title>
      <para>
	This command displays the PNN of the current node.
      </para>
    </refsect2>

    <refsect2>
      <title>xpnn</title>
      <para>
	This command displays the PNN of the current node without
	contacting the CTDB daemon.  It parses the nodes file
	directly, so can produce unexpected output if the nodes file
	has been edited but has not been reloaded.
      </para>
    </refsect2>

    <refsect2>
      <title>status</title>
      <para>
	This command shows the current status of all CTDB nodes based
	on information from the queried node.
      </para>

      <para>
	Note: If the the queried node is INACTIVE then the status
	might not be current.
      </para>

      <refsect3>
	<title>Node status</title>
	<para>
	  This includes the number of physical nodes and the status of
	  each node.  See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb</refentrytitle>
	  <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for information
	  about node states.
	</para>
      </refsect3>

      <refsect3>
	<title>Generation</title>
	<para>
	  The generation id is a number that indicates the current generation 
	  of a cluster instance. Each time a cluster goes through a 
	  reconfiguration or a recovery its generation id will be changed.
	</para>
	<para>
	  This number does not have any particular meaning other than
	  to keep track of when a cluster has gone through a
	  recovery. It is a random number that represents the current
	  instance of a ctdb cluster and its databases.  The CTDB
	  daemon uses this number internally to be able to tell when
	  commands to operate on the cluster and the databases was
	  issued in a different generation of the cluster, to ensure
	  that commands that operate on the databases will not survive
	  across a cluster database recovery.  After a recovery, all
	  old outstanding commands will automatically become invalid.
	</para>
	<para>
	  Sometimes this number will be shown as "INVALID". This only means that
	  the ctdbd daemon has started but it has not yet merged with the cluster through a recovery.
	  All nodes start with generation "INVALID" and are not assigned a real
	  generation id until they have successfully been merged with a cluster
	  through a recovery.
	</para>
      </refsect3>

      <refsect3>
	<title>Virtual Node Number (VNN) map</title>
	<para>
	  Consists of the number of virtual nodes and mapping from
	  virtual node numbers to physical node numbers.  Virtual
	  nodes host CTDB databases.  Only nodes that are
	  participating in the VNN map can become lmaster or dmaster
	  for database records.
	</para>
      </refsect3>

      <refsect3>
	<title>Recovery mode</title>
	<para>
	  This is the current recovery mode of the cluster. There are two possible modes:
	</para>
	<para>
	  NORMAL - The cluster is fully operational.
	</para>
	<para>
	  RECOVERY - The cluster databases have all been frozen, pausing all services while the cluster awaits a recovery process to complete. A recovery process should finish within seconds. If a cluster is stuck in the RECOVERY state this would indicate a cluster malfunction which needs to be investigated.
	</para>
	<para>
	  Once the recovery master detects an inconsistency, for example a node 
	  becomes disconnected/connected, the recovery daemon will trigger a 
	  cluster recovery process, where all databases are remerged across the
	  cluster. When this process starts, the recovery master will first
	  "freeze" all databases to prevent applications such as samba from 
	  accessing the databases and it will also mark the recovery mode as
	  RECOVERY.
	</para>
	<para>
	  When the CTDB daemon starts up, it will start in RECOVERY
	  mode.  Once the node has been merged into a cluster and all
	  databases have been recovered, the node mode will change into
	  NORMAL mode and the databases will be "thawed", allowing samba
	  to access the databases again.
	</para>
      </refsect3>
      <refsect3>
	<title>Recovery master</title>
	<para>
	  This is the cluster node that is currently designated as the recovery master. This node is responsible of monitoring the consistency of the cluster and to perform the actual recovery process when reqired.
	</para>
	<para>
	  Only one node at a time can be the designated recovery master. Which
	  node is designated the recovery master is decided by an election
	  process in the recovery daemons running on each node.
	</para>

      <title>nodestatus <optional><parameter>PNN-LIST</parameter></optional></title>
      <para>
	This command is similar to the <command>status</command>
	command.  It displays the "node status" subset of output.  The
	main differences are:
      </para>

      <itemizedlist>
	<listitem>
	  <para>
	    The exit code is the bitwise-OR of the flags for each
	    specified node, while <command>ctdb status</command> exits
	    with 0 if it was able to retrieve status for all nodes.
	  </para>
	</listitem>

	<listitem>
	  <para>
	    <command>ctdb status</command> provides status information
	    for all nodes.  <command>ctdb nodestatus</command>
	    defaults to providing status for only the current node.
	    If PNN-LIST is provided then status is given for
	    the indicated node(s).
	  </para>

	  <para>
	    By default, <command>ctdb nodestatus</command> gathers
	    status from the local node.  However, if invoked with "-n
	    all" (or similar) then status is gathered from the given
	    node(s).  In particular <command>ctdb nodestatus
	    all</command> and <command>ctdb nodestatus -n
	    all</command> will produce different output.  It is
	    possible to provide 2 different nodespecs (with and
	    without "-n") but the output is usually confusing!
	  </para>
	</listitem>
      </itemizedlist>

      <para>
	A common invocation in scripts is <command>ctdb nodestatus
	all</command> to check whether all nodes in a cluster are
	healthy.

      <title>uptime</title>
      <para>
	This command shows the uptime for the ctdb daemon. When the last recovery or ip-failover completed and how long it took. If the "duration" is shown as a negative number, this indicates that there is a recovery/failover in progress and it started that many seconds ago.
      </para>

	which receives all incoming traffic from clients.
      </para>
      <para>
	LVS is the mode where the entire CTDB/Samba cluster uses a single
	ip address for the entire cluster. In this mode all clients connect to
	one specific node which will then multiplex/loadbalance the clients
	evenly onto the other nodes in the cluster. This is an alternative to using
	public ip addresses. See the manpage for ctdbd for more information
	about LVS.

      <para>
	LVS will by default only loadbalance across those nodes that are both
	LVS capable and also HEALTHY. Except if all nodes are UNHEALTHY in which
	case LVS will loadbalance across all UNHEALTHY nodes as well.
	LVS will never use nodes that are DISCONNECTED, STOPPED, BANNED or

      <title>getdbmap</title>
      <para>
	This command lists all clustered TDB databases that the CTDB daemon has attached to. Some databases are flagged as PERSISTENT, this means that the database stores data persistently and the data will remain across reboots. One example of such a database is secrets.tdb where information about how the cluster was joined to the domain is stored.
      </para>
      <para>
	If a PERSISTENT database is not in a healthy state the database is
	flagged as UNHEALTHY. If there's at least one completely healthy node running in
	the cluster, it's possible that the content is restored by a recovery
	run automaticly. Otherwise an administrator needs to analyze the
	problem.
      </para>
      <para>
	See also "ctdb getdbstatus", "ctdb backupdb", "ctdb restoredb",

	and (if samba or tdb-utils are installed) "tdbtool check".
      </para>
      <para>
	Most databases are not persistent and only store the state information that the currently running samba daemons need. These databases are always wiped when ctdb/samba starts and when a node is rebooted.

      <para>
	In addition to the normal logging to a log file, CTDB also
	keeps a in-memory ringbuffer containing the most recent log
	entries for all log levels (except DEBUG).
      </para>
      <para>
	This is useful since it allows for keeping continuous logs to a file
	at a reasonable non-verbose level, but shortly after an incident has
	occured, a much more detailed log can be pulled from memory. This
	can allow you to avoid having to reproduce an issue due to the
	on-disk logs being of insufficient detail.
      </para>
      <para>
	This command extracts all messages of level or lower log level
	from memory and prints it to the screen.  The level is not
	specified it defaults to NOTICE.
      </para>
      <para>
	By default, logs are extracted from the main CTDB daemon.  If
	the recoverd option is given then logs are extracted from the
	recovery daemon.

      <para>
	By default, logs are cleared in the main CTDB daemon.  If the
	recoverd option is given then logs are cleared in the recovery

      <title>tickle <parameter>SRC-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>SRC-PORT</parameter> <parameter>DST-IPADDR</parameter>:<parameter>DST-PORT</parameter></title>
      <para>
	Send a TCP tickle to the source host for the specified TCP
	connection.  A TCP tickle is a TCP ACK packet with an invalid
	sequence and acknowledge number and will when received by the
	source host result in it sending an immediate correct ACK back
	to the other end.
      </para>
      <para>
	TCP tickles are useful to "tickle" clients after a IP failover has 
	occured since this will make the client immediately recognize the 
	TCP connection has been disrupted and that the client will need
	to reestablish. This greatly speeds up the time it takes for a client
	to detect and reestablish after an IP failover in the ctdb cluster.

      <title>OPTIONS</title>

      <variablelist>
	<varlistentry><term>--print-emptyrecords</term>
	<listitem>
	  <para>
	    This enables printing of empty records when dumping databases
	    with the catdb, cattbd and dumpdbbackup commands. Records with
	    empty data segment are considered deleted by ctdb and cleaned
	    by the vacuuming mechanism, so this switch can come in handy for
	    debugging the vacuuming behaviour.
	  </para>
	</listitem>
	</varlistentry>

	<varlistentry><term>--print-datasize</term>
	<listitem>
	  <para>
	    This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
	    size of the record data instead of dumping the data contents.
	  </para>
	</listitem>
	</varlistentry>

	<varlistentry><term>--print-lmaster</term>
	<listitem>
	  <para>
	    This lets catdb print the lmaster for each record.
	  </para>
	</listitem>

	<varlistentry><term>--print-hash</term>
	<listitem>
	  <para>
	    This lets database dumps (catdb, cattdb, dumpdbbackup) print the
	    hash for each record.
	  </para>
	</listitem>
	</varlistentry>

	<varlistentry><term>--print-recordflags</term>
	<listitem>
	  <para>
	    This lets catdb and dumpdbbackup print the

    </refsect2>

    <refsect2>
      <title>ipreallocate, sync</title>
      <para>
	This command will force the recovery master to perform a full ip reallocation process and redistribute all ip addresses. This is useful to "reset" the allocations back to its default state if they have been changed using the "moveip" command. While a "recover" will also perform this reallocation, a recovery is much more hevyweight since it will also rebuild all the databases.
      </para>
    </refsect2>

    <refsect2>
      <title>getmonmode</title>
      <para>
	This command returns the monutoring mode of a node. The monitoring mode is either ACTIVE or DISABLED. Normally a node will continuously monitor that all other nodes that are expected are in fact connected and that they respond to commands.
      </para>
      <para>
	ACTIVE - This is the normal mode. The node is actively monitoring all other nodes, both that the transport is connected and also that the node responds to commands. If a node becomes unavailable, it will be marked as DISCONNECTED and a recovery is initiated to restore the cluster.
      </para>
      <para>
	DISABLED - This node is not monitoring that other nodes are available. In this mode a node failure will not be detected and no recovery will be performed. This mode is useful when for debugging purposes one wants to attach GDB to a ctdb process but wants to prevent the rest of the cluster from marking this node as DISCONNECTED and do a recovery.
      </para>
    </refsect2>


    <refsect2>
      <title>setmonmode 0|1</title>
      <para>
	This command can be used to explicitly disable/enable monitoring mode on a node. The main purpose is if one wants to attach GDB to a running ctdb daemon but wants to prevent the other nodes from marking it as DISCONNECTED and issuing a recovery. To do this, set monitoring mode to 0 on all nodes before attaching with GDB. Remember to set monitoring mode back to 1 afterwards.

      <para>
	Detach specified non-persistent database(s) from the cluster. This
