ais cluster command

The command has the following subcommands:

$ ais cluster <TAB-TAB>
show               remote-detach      set-primary        decommission       reset-stats
remote-attach      rebalance          shutdown           add-remove-nodes

Important: with the single exception of add-remove-nodes, all the other the commands listed above operate on the level of the entire cluster. Node level operations (e.g., shutting down a given selected node, etc.) can be found under add-remove-nodes.

Alternatively, use --help to show subcommands with brief descriptions:

$ ais cluster  --help
NAME:
   ais cluster - monitor and manage AIS cluster: add/remove nodes, change primary gateway, etc.

USAGE:
   ais cluster command [command options] [arguments...]

COMMANDS:
   show              show cluster nodes and utilization
   remote-attach     attach remote ais cluster
   remote-detach     detach remote ais cluster
   rebalance         administratively start and stop global rebalance; show global rebalance
   set-primary       select a new primary proxy/gateway
   shutdown          shut down entire cluster
   decommission      decommission entire cluster
   add-remove-nodes  manage cluster membership (add/remove nodes, temporarily or permanently)
   reset-stats       reset cluster or node stats (all cumulative metrics or only errors)

As always, each subcommand will have its own help and usage examples (the latter possibly spread across multiple documents).

For any keyword or text of any kind, you can easily look up examples and descriptions (if available) via a simple find, for instance:

$ find . -type f -name "*.md" | xargs grep "ais.*mountpath"

Note that there is a single CLI command to grow a cluster, and multiple commands to scale it down.

Scaling down can be done gracefully or forcefully, and also temporarily or permanently.

For background, usage examples, and details, please see this document.

Adding/removing nodes

The corresponding functionality can be found under the subcommand called add-remove-nodes:

$ ais cluster add-remove-nodes --help
NAME:
   ais cluster add-remove-nodes - manage cluster membership (add/remove nodes, temporarily or permanently)

USAGE:
   ais cluster add-remove-nodes command [command options] [arguments...]

COMMANDS:
   join               add a node to the cluster
   start-maintenance  put node in maintenance mode, temporarily suspend its operation
   stop-maintenance   activate node by taking it back from "maintenance"
   decommission       safely and permanently remove node from the cluster

   shutdown           shutdown a node, gracefully or immediately;
                      note: upon shutdown the node won't be decommissioned - it'll remain in the cluster map
                      and can be manually restarted to rejoin the cluster at any later time;
                      see also: 'ais advanced remove-from-smap'

Cluster and Node status

The command has a rather long(ish) short description and multiple subcommands:

$ ais show cluster --help
NAME:
   ais show cluster - main dashboard: cluster at-a-glance (nodes, software versions, utilization, capacity, memory and more)

USAGE:
   ais show cluster command [command options] [NODE_ID] | [target [NODE_ID]] | [proxy [NODE_ID]] |
                       [smap [NODE_ID]] | [bmd [NODE_ID]] | [config [NODE_ID]] | [stats [NODE_ID]]

COMMANDS:
   smap    show cluster map (Smap)
   bmd     show bucket metadata (BMD)
   config  show cluster and node configuration
   stats   (alias for "ais show performance") show performance counters, throughput, latency and more (press <TAB-TAB> to select specific view)

OPTIONS:
   --refresh value   interval for continuous monitoring;
                     valid time units: ns, us (or µs), ms, s (default), m, h
   --count value     used together with '--refresh' to limit the number of generated reports (default: 0)
   --json, -j        json input/output
   --no-headers, -H  display tables without headers
   --help, -h        show help

To quickly exemplify, let's assume the cluster has a (target) node called t[xyz]. Then:

Main CLI dashboard: all storage nodes and gateways, deployed version, capacity, memory, and runtime stats:

$ ais show cluster

same as above, with only targets selected

$ ais show cluster target

show specific target

$ ais show cluster target t[xyz]

ask specific target to show its cluster map

$ ais show cluster smap t[xyz]

and so on and so forth.

Notes

The last example (above) may potentially make sense when troubleshooting. Otherwise, by design and implementation, cluster map (Smap), bucket metadata (BMD), and all other cluster-level metadata exists in identical protected and versioned replicas on all nodes at any given point in time.

Still, to display cluster map in its (JSON) fullness, run:

$ ais show cluster smap --json

--json option is almost universally supported in CLI

Similar to all other show commands, ais cluster show is an alias for ais cluster show. Both can be used interchangeably.

Options

Flag Type Description Default
--json, -j bool Output in JSON format false
--count int Can be used in combination with --refresh option to limit the number of generated reports 1
--refresh duration Refresh interval - time duration between reports. The usual unit suffixes are supported and include m (for minutes), s (seconds), ms (milliseconds)
--no-headers bool Display tables without headers false

Show cluster map

ais show cluster smap [NODE_ID]

Show a copy of the cluster map (Smap) stored on NODE_ID.

If NODE_ID is not given, show cluster map from (primary or secondary) proxy "pointed to" by your local CLI configuration (ais config cli) or AIS_ENDPOINT environment.

Note that cluster map (Smap), bucket metadata (BMD), and all other cluster-level metadata exists in identical protected and versioned replicas on all nodes at any given point in time.

Useful variations include ais show cluster smap --json (to see the unabridged version), and also:

$ ais show cluster smap --refresh 5

The latter will periodically (until Ctrl-C) show cluster map in 5-second intervals - might be useful in presence of any kind of membership changes (e.g., cluster startup).

Options

Flag Type Description Default
--count int Can be used in combination with --refresh option to limit the number of generated reports 1
--refresh duration Refresh interval - time duration between reports. The usual unit suffixes are supported and include m (for minutes), s (seconds), ms (milliseconds)
--json, -j bool Output in JSON format false

Examples

Show smap from a given node

Ask a specific node for its cluster map (Smap) replica:

$ ais show cluster smap <TAB-TAB>
... p[ETURp8083] ...

$ ais show cluster smap p[ETURp8083]

Show cluster stats

ais show cluster stats is a alias for ais show performance.

The latter is the primary implementation, and the preferred way to investigate cluster performance, while ais show cluster stats is retained in part for convenience and in part for backward compatibility.

$ ais show cluster stats <TAB-TAB>
counters     throughput   latency      capacity     disk

$ ais show cluster stats --help
NAME:
   ais show cluster stats - (alias for "ais show performance") show performance counters, throughput, latency and more (press <TAB-TAB> to select specific view)

Join a node

ais cluster add-remove-nodes join --role=proxy IP:PORT

Join a proxy to the cluster.

ais cluster add-remove-nodes join --role=target IP:PORT

Join a target to the cluster.

Note: The node will try to join the cluster using an ID it detects (either in the filesystem's xattrs or on disk) or that it generates for itself. If you would like to specify an ID, you can do so while starting the aisnode executable.

Examples

Join node

Join a proxy node with socket address 192.168.0.185:8086

$ ais cluster add-remove-nodes join --role=proxy 192.168.0.185:8086
Proxy with ID "23kfa10f" successfully joined the cluster.

Remove a node

Temporarily remove an existing node from the cluster:

ais cluster add-remove-nodes start-maintenance NODE_ID ais cluster add-remove-nodes stop-maintenance NODE_ID

Starting maintenance puts the node in maintenance mode, and the cluster gradually transitions to operating without the specified node (which is labeled maintenance in the cluster map). Stopping maintenance will revert this.

ais cluster add-remove-nodes shutdown NODE_ID

Shutting down a node will put the node in maintenance mode first, and then shut down the aisnode process on the node.

Permanently remove an existing node from the cluster:

ais cluster add-remove-nodes decommission NODE_ID

Decommissioning a node will safely remove a node from the cluster by triggering a cluster-wide rebalance first. This can be avoided by specifying --no-rebalance.

Options

Flag Type Description Default
--no-rebalance bool By default, ais cluster add-remove-nodes maintenance and ais cluster add-remove-nodes decommission triggers a global cluster-wide rebalance. The --no-rebalance flag disables automatic rebalance thus providing for the administrative option to rebalance the cluster manually at a later time. BEWARE: advanced usage only! false

Examples

Decommission node

Permananently remove proxy p[omWp8083] from the cluster:

$ ais cluster add-remove-nodes decommission <TAB-TAB>
p[cFOp8082]   p[Hqhp8085]   p[omWp8083]   t[bFat8087]   t[Icjt8089]   t[ofPt8091]
p[dpKp8084]   p[NGVp8081]   p[Uerp8080]   t[erbt8086]   t[IDDt8090]   t[TKSt8088]

$ ais cluster add-remove-nodes decommission p[omWp8083]

Node "omWp8083" has been successfully removed from the cluster.

To terminate aisnode on a given machine, use the shutdown command, e.g.:

$ ais cluster add-remove-nodes shutdown t[23kfa10f]

Similar to the maintenance option, shutdown triggers global rebalancing then shuts down the corresponding aisnode process (target t[23kfa10f] in the example above).

Remote AIS cluster

Given an arbitrary pair of AIS clusters A and B, cluster B can be attached to cluster A, thus providing (to A) a fully-accessible (list-able, readable, writeable) backend.

For background, terminology, and definitions, and for many more usage examples, please see:

Attach remote cluster

ais cluster remote-attach UUID=URL [UUID=URL...]

or

ais cluster remote-attach ALIAS=URL [ALIAS=URL...]

Attach a remote AIS cluster to a local one via the remote cluster public URL. Alias (a user-defined name) can be used instead of cluster UUID for convenience. For more details and background on remote clustering, please refer to this document.

Examples

Attach two remote clusters, the first - by its UUID, the second one - via user-friendly alias (two).

$ ais cluster remote-attach a345e890=http://one.remote:51080 two=http://two.remote:51080`

Detach remote cluster

ais cluster remote-detach UUID|ALIAS

Detach a remote cluster using its alias or UUID.

Examples

Example below assumes that the remote has user-given alias two:

$ ais cluster remote-detach two

Show remote clusters

ais show remote-cluster

Show details about attached remote clusters.

Examples

The following two commands attach and then show the remote cluster at the address my.remote.ais:51080:

$ ais cluster remote-attach alias111=http://my.remote.ais:51080
Remote cluster (alias111=http://my.remote.ais:51080) successfully attached
$ ais show remote-cluster
UUID      URL                     Alias     Primary         Smap  Targets  Online
eKyvPyHr  my.remote.ais:51080     alias111  p[80381p11080]  v27   10       yes

Notice that:

  • user can assign an arbitrary name (aka alias) to a given remote cluster
  • the remote cluster does not have to be online at attachment time; offline or currently unreachable clusters are shown as follows:
$ ais show remote-cluster
UUID        URL                       Alias     Primary         Smap  Targets  Online
eKyvPyHr    my.remote.ais:51080       alias111  p[primary1]     v27   10       no

Notice the difference between the first and the second lines in the printout above: while both clusters appear to be currently offline (see the rightmost column), the first one was accessible at some earlier time and therefore we show that it has (in this example) 10 storage nodes and other details.

To detach any of the previously configured associations, simply run:

$ ais cluster remote-detach alias111
$ ais show remote-cluster
UUID        URL                       Alias     Primary         Smap  Targets  Online
<alias222>  <other.remote.ais:51080>            n/a             n/a   n/a      no
