Bug #12124	ndb_mgm -e "# stop" does not allow stopping ndb_mgmd processes on other systems

Category:	MySQL Cluster: Cluster (NDB) storage engine	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0, 5.1	OS:	Linux (Linux)
Assigned to:	Stewart Smith	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Using ndb_mgm -c host:port -e "# stop" only works for the ndb_mgmd processes on current system.

A cluster with more then 1 ndb-mgmd will allow a "# stop" where # == to the ndb_mgmd id number of the one running on the current system.
ndb08:~/jmiller> ndb_mgm $ndbc --execute="1 stop"
Connected to Management Server at: ndb08:14000
Node 1 has shutdown.

But try the same command for the one running on a different systems and you get:

@ndb07 run]$ ndb_mgm ndb07:14000 -e "2 stop"
Connected to Management Server at: ndb07:14000
Shutdown failed.
*  2002: Stop failed
*        The process has wrong type. Expected a DB process.

Yet you are still able to stop the one running on that  system

ndb07 run]$ ndb_mgm ndb07:14000 -e "3 stop"
Connected to Management Server at: ndb07:14000
Node 3 has shutdown.

[ndb_mgmd]
Id: 1
HostName: ndb08

[ndb_mgmd]
Id: 2
HostName: ndb09
ArbitrationRank: 1

[ndb_mgmd]
Id: 3
HostName: ndb07
ArbitrationRank: 1

How to repeat:
setup 3 computers each with ndb_mgmd processes that point to the same cluster.
Using the ndb_mgm client try and stop ndb_mgmd processes in the cluster that are on different systems. Try and stop the local ndb_mgmd processes

Suggested fix:
If a ndb_mgmd process belongs to a given cluster, you should be able to stop it from any of the ndb_mgmd processes.

My proposed way to solve WL2703 (restart for ndb_mgmd) should allow for this bug to be fixed easily.

Just a reminder that I am still hitting this issue.
