  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 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.
  - maprcli and REST API Syntax
    This section provides information about the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric command API. Most commands can be run on the command-line interface (CLI), or by making REST requests programmatically or in a browser.
  - Utilities
    Contains information about various scripts and utilities, that help setup, maintain, and monitor clusters.
  - Configuration Files
    This section contains reference information about various configuration files.
  - Alarms Reference
    The pages in this section provide details about all of the types of alarms.
  - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Environment
    This section provides information associated with the Data Fabric environment.
    - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Parameters
      Describes Data Fabric parameters and their default values.
    - Default HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Configurations
      Lists sources from which default Data Fabric configuration parameters are derived.
    - Environment Variables
      Describes the environment variables specific to the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
      - About env_override.sh
        Describes the purpose of the env_override.sh file.
      - Controlling Access to JMX Metrics
        Environment variables and configure.sh options introduced in release 6.2.0 let you control how metrics are collected and who can access the metrics from JMX-enabled services.
    - Ports Used by HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Software
      Lists the ports used by Data Fabric services.
    - Log Files
      Lists the log files for each HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric component.
    - Cluster Maintenance Schedule
      Lists a sample maintenance schedule for the cluster.
    - Language Support for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Tables
      This section lists the human languages that HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric tables can store, retrieve, and process.
- 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.

Environment Variables

Describes the environment variables specific to the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.

For core release 6.0 and later, environment variables should be set in /opt/mapr/conf/env_override.sh. Editing /opt/mapr/conf/env.sh is no longer recommended. For more information, see About env_override.sh.

Variable	Example Values	Description
`CLDB_EXTERNAL_RPC_PORT`	`5000`	If clients outside the cluster cannot reach CLDB on the default port, use the `CLDB_EXTERNAL_RPC_PORT` environment variable to specify the port on which CLDB can be reached.
`JAVA_HOME`	`/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-sun`	The directory where the correct version of Java is installed.
`MAPR_HOME`	`/opt/mapr` (default)	The directory in which the core software is installed. CAUTION Specifying a `MAPR_HOME` directory other than `/opt/mapr` is not supported and can cause installation errors.
`MAPR_EXTERNAL`	`10.10.123.25,10.10.123.30`	If your cluster nodes have multiple NICs, use the MAPR_EXTERNAL environment variable to grant external clients access to a cluster node on specific IP addresses. The value of the MAPR_EXTERNAL environment variable on a node is a comma-separated list of up to four IP addresses with no spaces.
`MAPR_SUBNETS`	`10.10.123.0/24,10.10.124.0/24`	`MAPR_SUBNETS` is used for Data Fabric RPC to RPC communication. The MFS, CLDB, NFS, and LOOPBACKNFS modules use this environment variable. The NFS and LOOPBACKNFS modules use this environment variable when registering with CLDB. If you do not want Data Fabric to use all NICs on each node, use this environment variable to restrict Data Fabric traffic to specific NICs. Set `MAPR_SUBNETS` to a comma-separated list of up to four subnets in CIDR notation with no spaces. If you do not set `MAPR_SUBNETS`, Data Fabric uses all NICs present on the node. If `MAPR_SUBNETS` is set, make sure that the node can reach all nodes in the cluster (servers and clients) using the specified subnets.
`MAPR_USER`	`mapr` (default)	Used with configure.sh to specify the user under which Data Fabric runs its services. If not explicitly set, it defaults to the user `mapr`. After `configure.sh` is run, the value is stored in `daemon.conf`.
`MAPR_ECOSYSTEM_LOGIN_OPTS`	`hybrid`	Specifies the JAAS configuration to use with installed open source components.
