- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the MapR Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the MapR Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. MapR Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering MapR Gateways
  A MapR gateway mediates one-way communication between a source MapR cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate MapR Database tables (binary and JSON) and MapR Event Store For Apache Kafka streams. MapR gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.
- Administering Services

  This section describes how to monitor the health and performance of a MapR cluster.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use MapR clusters securely.
- Administering the MapR Data Access Gateway
  The MapR Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the MapR cluster. This section describes considerations when upgrading the service, how to modify configuration settings, and how to administer and manage the service.
- Planning for High Availability
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.

Renaming a Volume

Describes how to rename a volume using the Control System, CLI or the REST API.

About this task

If you rename a volume, you must unmount and re-mount the volume to allow applications and/or users to continue accessing the volume.

Renaming a Volume Using the Control System

Procedure

Log in to the Control System and go the volume information page.
Click Rename Volume from the Select Action drop-down menu to display the Rename Volume window.
Enter the new name for the volume in the New Volume Name field and click Save Changes for the changes to take effect.
NOTE For tiering-enabled volumes, volume name cannot exceed ninety-eight characters.

Renaming a Volume Using the CLI and REST API

About this task

The basic command to rename a volume is:

maprcli volume rename -name <oldName> -newname <newName>

Send a request of type POST. For example:

curl -k -X POST 'https://<host>:8443/rest/volume/rename?name=<oldName>&newname=<newName>' --user mapr:mapr

See volume rename for more information.
