  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.

Glossary
Definitions for commonly used terms in MapR Converged Data Platform environments.

Recovering Volumes from Mirrors Using the CLI

Lists the process to recover mirror volumes, using the CLI.

Use the volume dump create command to create a full volume dump for each mirror volume you want to restore. Example: maprcli volume create -e statefile1 -dumpfile fulldump1 -name volume@cluster
Transport the volume dump to the rebuilt cluster.
For each volume on the mirror cluster, set up a corresponding volume on the rebuilt cluster.
1. Restore the volume using the volume dump restore command. Example: maprcli volume dump restore -name volume@cluster -dumpfile fulldump1
2. Copy the files to a standard (non-mirror) volume.
