The summary table in this section provides information about
parameters used in the [mysqld] and
[api] sections of a
config.ini file for configuring MySQL
Cluster SQL nodes and API nodes. For detailed descriptions and
other additional information about each of these parameters, see
Section 17.3.2.7, “Defining SQL and Other API Nodes in a MySQL Cluster”.
For a discussion of MySQL server options for MySQL Cluster, see Section 17.3.4.2, “MySQL Server Options for MySQL Cluster”; for information about MySQL server system variables relating to MySQL Cluster, see Section 17.3.4.3, “MySQL Cluster System Variables”.
Restart types. Changes in MySQL Cluster configuration parameters do not take effect until the cluster is restarted. The type of restart required to change a given parameter is indicated in the summary table as follows:
N—Node restart: The parameter can
be updated using a rolling restart (see
Section 17.5.5, “Performing a Rolling Restart of a MySQL Cluster”).
S—System restart: The cluster must
be shut down completely, then restarted, to effect a change
in this parameter.
I—Initial restart: Data nodes must
be restarted using the
--initial option.
For more information about restart types, see Section 17.3.3, “Overview of MySQL Cluster Configuration Parameters”.

To add new SQL or API nodes to the configuration of a running
MySQL Cluster, it is necessary to perform a rolling restart of
all cluster nodes after adding new [mysqld]
or [api] sections to the
config.ini file (or files, if you are
using more than one management server). This must be done
before the new SQL or API nodes can connect to the cluster.
It is not necessary to perform any restart of the cluster if new SQL or API nodes can employ previously unused API slots in the cluster configuration to connect to the cluster.
