21.4.3.4 Defining Computers in an NDB Cluster

The [computer] section has no real significance other than serving as a way to avoid the need of defining host names for each node in the system. All parameters mentioned here are required.

• Id

  Version (or later)	NDB 7.5.0
  Type or units	string
  Default	[...]
  Range	...
  Restart Type	**Initial System Restart:**Requires a complete shutdown of the cluster, wiping and restoring the cluster file system from abackup, and then restarting the cluster. (NDB 7.5.0)
  This is a unique identifier, used to refer to the host computer elsewhere in the configuration file.
  Important
  The computer ID is not the same as the node ID used for a management, API, or data node. Unlike the case with node IDs, you cannot useNodeId in place ofId in the [computer] section of the config.ini file.

• HostName

  Version (or later)	NDB 7.5.0
  Type or units	name or IP address
  Default	[...]
  Range	...
  Restart Type	**Node Restart:**Requires arolling restart of the cluster. (NDB 7.5.0)
  This is the computer's hostname or IP address.
