MySQL Bugs: #24943: Error in section 15.3.3 of documentation

Bug #24943	Error in section 15.3.3 of documentation
Submitted:	10 Dec 2006 10:21	Modified:	7 Jun 2007 13:36
Reporter:	ed greenberg	Email Updates:
Status:	No Feedback	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Cluster: Cluster (NDB) storage engine	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0	OS:	Any
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	cluster, configuration

Description:
The my.cnf for the ndbd node also requires the following section:

[ndbd]
connect-string=192.168.0.10

Without it, the cluster will try to connect to localhost:1186 and not start. 

How to repeat:
Execute example as stated. Try to start cluster. Fail. Be frustrated. Read section 15.4.4. Hit self on forehead. Fix my.cnf on data node. Start cluster.

Suggested fix:
Add 

[ndbd]
connect-string=192.168.0.10

to documentation in section 15.3.3 (unless I have this wrong :)

This isn't a documentation bug. The example worked as shown at the time the material was written.

Any difference in behaviour is therefore either a server bug or unannounced feature change.

Hi,

the ndbd should not need a connect string, the default is localhost:1186

So if the ndb_mgmd is not on the same host as the ndbd, then yes, it needs to be configured.

Is this what you are saying should be better documented?  Or are you saying that the default behaviour is not what is expected?

BR,

Tomas
