HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.2 is In Maintenance and transitions to "End of Maintenance" in June 2024. Please see the latest documentation.

About Release 6.2
This site contains documentation for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric release 6.2 including installation, configuration, administration, and reference content, as well as content for the associated bundled ecosystem components and drivers.
6.2 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
6.2 Data Fabric
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
6.2 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 data-fabric cluster.
- Administering Nodes
  Provides a synopsis of managing nodes in a cluster.
  - Managing Nodes
    Describes the Nodes page on the Control System.
  - Managing Roles
    Describes how to manage roles on a node.
    - Adding Roles to a Node
      Summarizes the process to add a role.
      - Adding a Role
        Describes how to add various roles to a Data Fabric node.
      - Adding a CLDB Role Using the CLI
        Describes how to add a CLDB role to an HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric node using the CLI.
      - Adding a ZooKeeper Role
        Describes how to add a ZooKeeper role to a Data Fabric node by using the CLI.
    - Removing Roles from a Node
      Describes how to remove a role from a node.
    - Assigning Roles to Nodes for Best Performance
      Guidelines to optimise the cluster's service layout for best performance.
  - Managing Services
    Synopsis on managing services.
  - Managing Disks
    Provides a brief overview of adding and removing disks from the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric file system.
- Administering Volumes
  This section provide information about how to organize and manage data using volumes, a unique feature of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 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 Data Access Gateway
  The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 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.
- Troubleshooting Cluster Administration
  Lists the common errors and their solutions.
- Best Practices for Backing Up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Information
  Lists the best practices and performance considerations to follow when backing up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric information.
6.2 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
Other Docs
This section contains release-independent information, including: Installer documentation, Ecosystem release notes, interoperability matrices, security vulnerabilities, and links to other data-fabric version documentation.
Glossary
Definitions for commonly used terms in MapR Converged Data Platform environments.

Adding a Role

Describes how to add various roles to a Data Fabric node.

About this task

Do not use these steps to add the CLDB or ZooKeeper role.

NOTE When Collectd is installed on a node with YARN ResourceManager or NodeManager, running configure.sh -R, to add or remove roles on the node, triggers these services to restart. During a restart, the NodeManager and ResourceManager are temporarily unavailable for new application submission. A patch is available to resolve this behavior. See Applying Patches.

The following steps describe how to add a role to a node:

Procedure

Install the package corresponding to the new role using apt-get, yum, or zypper, depending on your platform. For more information, see Data Fabric Repositories and Packages.
Run configure.sh -R on the node where you added the role.
If Warden is running, the new service starts automatically.
If you added the File server role, run disksetup to format and prepare disks for use as storage.
Issue the following command to restart Warden on the node where you installed the role:
```
% service mapr-warden restart
```
