16.4.2. MySQL Cluster-Related Command Options for mysqld

  • --ndb-connectstring=connect_string

    When using the NDBCLUSTER storage engine, this option specifies the management server that distributes cluster configuration data. See Section 16.3.4.2, “The Cluster Connectstring”, for syntax.

  • --ndbcluster

    The NDBCLUSTER storage engine is necessary for using MySQL Cluster. If a mysqld binary includes support for the NDBCLUSTER storage engine, the engine is disabled by default. Use the --ndbcluster option to enable it. Use --skip-ndbcluster to explicitly disable the engine.

  • --skip-ndbcluster

    Disable the NDBCLUSTER storage engine. This is the default for binaries that were built with NDBCLUSTER storage engine support; the server allocates memory and other resources for this storage engine only if the --ndbcluster option is given explicitly. See Section 16.3.3, “Quick Test Setup of MySQL Cluster”, for an example of usage.
