Abstract
        
        This is the User Manual for the MySQL
        Cluster Manager, version 8.4.6. It documents
        the MySQL Cluster Manager Agent and
        MySQL Cluster Manager Client software
        applications, which can be used to administer
        MySQL NDB Cluster, a version of the
        MySQL Database System
        (referred to hereafter as “MySQL Server” or simply
        “MySQL”) that incorporates the
        NDB storage engine for high
        availability and data redundancy in a distributed computing
        environment.
      
This manual applies to MySQL Cluster Manager 8.4.6 and contains information that may not apply to older versions of the MySQL Cluster Manager software. For documentation covering previous MySQL Cluster Manager releases, see MySQL Documentation: MySQL NDB Cluster, on the MySQL website.
MySQL Cluster Manager features. This manual describes features that may not be included in every version of MySQL Cluster Manager, and such features may not be included in the version of MySQL Cluster Manager licensed to you. If you have any questions about the features included in your version of MySQL Cluster Manager, refer to your MySQL Cluster Manager license agreement or contact your Oracle sales representative.
MySQL Cluster Manager, MySQL Server, and MySQL NDB Cluster features. This manual contains certain basic information about MySQL Server and MySQL NDB Cluster; however, it is not in any way intended as an exhaustive reference for either of these products.

MySQL NDB Cluster functionality varies between MySQL NDB Cluster releases; MySQL Cluster Manager cannot supply or emulate MySQL NDB Cluster features that are not present in the version of the MySQL NDB Cluster software in use.
