I have a mysql cluster and I changed the IP's on the whole cluster.. well in order to get the nodes to read the new config file I ran this command
/etc/init.d/mysql-ndb start-initial /etc/mysql/conf.d/[login to view URL]
I didnt know that it deletes all tables previously connected to the ndb cluster and it purged all the data
the last backup I have was a few weeks ago
ubuntu live boot cd hopefully to recover files but am having a hell of a time trying to get it mounted and booted in ubuntu 10 running on xen server
open to all suggestions...
here is the mysql command that killed my cluster
1. shell> **ndbd --initial**
Note that it is very important to use the `--initial` parameter *only* when starting **ndbd** for the first time, or when restarting after a backup/restore operation or a configuration change. This is because the `--initial` option causes the node to delete any files created by earlier **ndbd** instances that are needed for recovery, including the recovery log files.
