The [system] section is used for parameters applying to the cluster as a whole. The Name system parameter is used with MySQL Enterprise Monitor; ConfigGenerationNumber and PrimaryMGMNode are not used in production environments. Except when using NDB Cluster with MySQL Enterprise Monitor, is not necessary to have a [system] section in the config.ini file.
More information about these parameters can be found in the following list:
| Version (or later) | NDB 8.0.13 |
|---|---|
| Type or units | unsigned |
| Default | 0 |
| Range | 0 - 4294967039 (0xFFFFFEFF) |
| Restart Type | N (NDB 8.0.13) |

| Range | ... |
| Restart Type | N (NDB 8.0.13) |
