Description:
Upgrading mysql-cluster from 5.0.27 to 5.1.12-beta

3 server setup. ndb_mgm on A. mysqld and ndbd on B and C

Everything compiled fine. Installed fine. ndb_mgm running fine. mysqld's running fine.

All attempts to bring nodes online have resulted in the following:

ndb_mgm> Node 2: Forced node shutdown completed. Occured during startphase 1. Initiated by signal 0. Caused by error 2306: 'Pointer too large(Internal error, programming error or missing error message, please report a bug). Temporary error, restart node'.

How to repeat:
I went through a brand new make clean; make; make install and attempted to bring online again the nodes with same result.

Suggested fix:
Was able to get running again by doing --initial on the 2 nodes.

Hi,

We currently only support upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 using either
  ndb_restore on mysqldump

Sorry about this :(
