NAME

mfssupervisor - tool for controlling the work of MooseFS master process

SYNOPSIS

mfssupervisor -v

mfssupervisor -h

DESCRIPTION

mfssupervisor is the supervisor program of MooseFS. It can be used to force certain actions of MooseFS master(s), like saving metadata or changing leadership. When no action (options -r, -l or -s) is defined, the tool will just display info about the master(s) current state(s).

OPTIONS

-v: print version information and exit
-h: print usage information and exit
-x: produce more verbose output
-d: (pro only) dry run (print info, but do not change anything)
-f: (pro only) force electing not synchronized follower; see NOTES
-r: (pro only) try to resolve the master states situation; usually selects one of the followers and sets its state to ELECT if no elects or leaders are present
-l: (pro only) try to change the role of the master with given IP to leader;
-c: (pro only) run configuration consistency check; if any inconsistencies are present, they will be reported via syslog
-s: force metadata store or (pro only) metadata check on given master group (pro version requires specifying a mode, possible values: L - LEADER only, F - FOLLOWERS only, A - all servers with CRC check, C - all servers CRC check only, no metadata is stored on disk)
-B: local address to use for master connections (default: *, i.e. default local address)
-H: use given host to find your master server(s) (default: mfsmaster)
-P: use given port to connect to your master server(s) (default: 9419)

NOTES

Options -s,-r and -l are mutually exclusive

Option -f can be used only with option -r

Option -d can be used only with option -r or -l

Option -f shouldn't be used unless it is necessary in situations when not all master servers defined in DNS are connected (i.e. after a crash when one of the master machines is offline). In an environment where all master machines are present, the leader should be picked automatically.
