About MapR 6.1
This site contains the main documentation for Version 6.1 of the MapR Converged Data Platform, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference information.
6.1 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading MapR software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a MapR cluster.
6.1 MapR Data Platform
MapR Data Platform is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
6.1 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
- Administering Users and Clusters
  Lists topics that help manage a MapR cluster.
- Administering Nodes
  Provides a synopsis of managing nodes in a cluster.
- Administering Volumes
  This section provide information about how to organize and manage data using volumes, a unique feature of MapR clusters.
- 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
- Monitoring the Cluster
  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.
  - maprcli and REST API Syntax
    This section provides information about the MapR command API. Most commands can be run on the command-line interface (CLI), or by making REST requests programmatically or in a browser.

      Use the configure-crosscluster.sh utility to set up cross-cluster security between two clusters.
    - cldbguts
      Monitors the activity of the Container Location Database (CLDB). This utility prints information about the CLDB service that is running on the node from which you run the utility.
    - disksetup

      Detects and fixes inconsistencies in the filesystem.
    - gfsck
      Describes how you can use the gfsck command, under the supervision of Map R Support or Engineering, to perform consistency checks and appropriate repairs on a volume, or a volume snapshot.
    - guts
      guts is a tool to measure/analyse performance. In the default mode, it prints one line every second, and counts the number of operations or bytes-processed in one second intervals. guts is an internal utility, and is subject to change without notice.
    - manageSSLKeys.sh
      Use the manageSSLKeys.sh utility to create and manage SSL certificates.
    - mapr-support-collect.sh
      Collects information about a cluster's recent activity, to help MapR Support diagnose problems.
    - mapr-support-dump.sh
      Collects node and cluster-level information for the node on which you invoke the script.
    - maprlogin
      Authenticates logins to secure MapR clusters.
    - mrconfig
      The mrconfig commands let you create, remove, and manage storage pools, disk groups, and disks; and provide information about containers.
      - mrconfig cntr
        Discusses the mrconfig cntr commands that allow you to manage containers and container replicas.
      - mrconfig dbinfo
        Each instance of the file server on a node is responsible for processing and tracking activities that result from running database commands. The mrconfig dbinfo command displays information about the activities, including information related to containers, tablets, storage pools, tags, and threads processing operations on tables.

mrconfig sp load

The mrconfig sp load command loads all of the disks associated with a storage pool.

See mrconfig for instructions on running mrconfig commands.

Syntax

mrconfig sp load <sp name>

Parameters

Parameter	Description
sp name	The name of the storage pool; example `SP2`

Tips:

Use the mrconfig sp list command to see storage pool names (examples SP1, SP2) and the device paths of the storage pools (example /dev/sdc).

Use the mrconfig disk list command to see storage pool names (examples SP1, SP2), the device paths of the storage pools (example /dev/sdc), and the disks associated with each storage pool (examples /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, /dev/sde).

Examples

Load the disks associated with the storage pool named SP2 on the local node

/opt/mapr/server/mrconfig sp load SP2
