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.
  - Managing Users and Groups
    Provides a brief introduction to user management on a data-fabric cluster.
  - Managing the Cluster
    Lists the settings for managing the data-fabric cluster.
    - Managing Auditing
      Provides instructions for using data-fabric auditing features.
    - Configuring Balancer Settings
      Provides an overview of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric disk space and replication role balancers.
    - Managing Licenses
      Provides a synopsis of adding licenses using the Control System and the CLI.
    - Setting Quota Defaults for Users and Groups
      Explains how to set disk space quotas for users and groups.
    - Specifying the Location of Gateways
      Describes how to set the location of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateways using either the Control System or the CLI.
    - Managing Alarms
      - Viewing the List of Alarms
        Specifies how to view the list of alarms raised, using either the Control System or the CLI.
      - Configuring Alarm Settings
        Set the severity and notifications for each alarm using either the Control System or the CLI.
      - Configuring the Alarm Threshold Using the CLI
        You can configure the alarm threshold for certain alarms. For the alarms that support threshold configuration, this topic describes the command to run to set the threshold.
      - Viewing Alarm Information
        Describes how to view alarm information using the Control System.
      - Dismissing an Alarm
        Describes how to dismiss an alarm, either manually or automatically, using either the Control System or the CLI.
      - Muting and Unmuting Alarms
        Describes how to mute and unmute alarms using either the Control System or the CLI.
    - Working with Multiple Instances of the filesystem
      The Multi-filesystem feature allows multiple instances of the file server to run on a single node in a single process.
    - Converting a Cluster from Root to Non-Root User from the Command-Line
      Provides a synopsis of changing the running user from root to a non-root user on a cluster.
    - Starting Up a Cluster
      Lists the steps to start a cluster that was previously shut down.
    - Shutting Down a Cluster
      Lists the considerations to note and the procedure to shutdown a cluster.
    - Managing Another Unsecure Cluster Using the Control System
      When logged into the Control System of one cluster, you can navigate to the Control System of another unsecure cluster.
    - Allocating Cluster Resource from the Command-Line
      Provides a general overview on allocating cluster resources for a data-fabric Hadoop 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 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 MapR 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 data-fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source data-fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Event Store streams. 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 MapR 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.

Managing Alarms

You can view all the alarms and configure settings, including severity and notifications, on the Control System and using the CLI.
