18.3.2.4 Other NDB Cluster Configuration Parameters

The summary tables in this section provide information about parameters used in the [computer], [tcp], [shm], and [sci] sections of a config.ini file for configuring NDB Cluster management nodes. For detailed descriptions and other additional information about individual parameters, see Section 18.3.3.9, “NDB Cluster TCP/IP Connections”, Section 18.3.3.11, “NDB Cluster Shared-Memory Connections”, or Section 18.3.3.12, “SCI Transport Connections in NDB Cluster”, as appropriate.

Restart types.  Changes in NDB 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 tables as follows:

• N—Node restart: The parameter can be updated using a rolling restart (see Section 18.5.5, “Performing a Rolling Restart of an NDB 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 18.3.2, “Overview of NDB Cluster Configuration Parameters, Options, and Variables”.
