- 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

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.

3. Installing or Removing Software or Hardware

Lists the considerations to install or remove software or hardware.

When the node is stopped, you can add, upgrade or remove software or hardware. At some point after adding or removing services, you should restart Warden, to re-optimize memory allocation among all the services on the node. It is not crucial to perform this step immediately; you can restart Warden any time when the cluster is not busy.

To add or remove individual HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric packages, use the standard package management commands for your Linux distribution:

apt-get (Ubuntu)
yum (Red Hat or CentOS)

For information about the packages to install, see Planning the Cluster.

The following sections provide information about adding or removing services from a node after it has been deployed in a cluster:
