start cluster cluster_name

This command starts the cluster named cluster_name, as shown in this example:

mcm> start cluster mycluster;
+------------------------------+
| Command result               |
+------------------------------+
| Cluster started successfully |
+------------------------------+
1 row in set (45.37 sec)

In order for the command to succeed, the cluster named in the command must already exist; otherwise the command fails with the error Cluster cluster_name not defined, as shown here:

mcm> list sites;
+--------+------+-------+------------------------------+
| Site   | Port | Local | Hosts                        |
+--------+------+-------+------------------------------+
| mysite | 1862 | Local | tonfisk,flundra,grindval,haj |
+--------+------+-------+------------------------------+
1 row in set (1.72 sec)

mcm> list clusters mysite;
+-----------+-----------+
| Cluster   | Package   |
+-----------+-----------+
| mycluster | mypackage |
+-----------+-----------+
1 row in set (1.70 sec)

mcm> start cluster yourcluster;
ERROR 5001 (00MGR): Cluster yourcluster not defined

In addition, the cluster must not already be running, as shown here:

mcm> show status --cluster mycluster;
+-----------+-------------------+
| Cluster   | Status            |
+-----------+-------------------+
| mycluster | fully operational |
+-----------+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.92 sec)

mcm> start cluster mycluster;
